How to Choose the Right Dental Practice

Going to the dentist regularly is essential, not only when you have a dental problem that needs to be addressed but also to guarantee your oral health is in good condition. 

But how do you choose the dental practice that’s ideal for you? In this blog, our experienced dental team at Parklane Family Dental in Fort Smith and Rogers, Arkansas, have put together a few tips to help you find the right dental practice whenever you need to change your dentist or find a new one. 

Conduct Your Research

The first step in picking a dental practice is research. 

Shortlist a few dental practices in your area and check their offerings online. Make sure to also read reviews and testimonials from prior clients to see what they think about the dental practice and whether they would recommend it to others. 

Inquire about their pricing as well. Find out how much they charge for various services and what their services packages include online or by calling. 

Ask for Patient Feedback

Check if your friends, coworkers, or family members are familiar with the dental practices you are looking into. If this is the case, inquire about wait times, their dental experiences, and what their initial visits were like. 

Any information you can get before visiting a new dental practice will help you feel more at ease and confident in your choice. 

Location and Operating Hours 

To make going in for your dental appointments easier, choose a dental practice close to your home or job. If you have numerous options, find out what their operating hours are and choose a dental practice that has a schedule compatible with yours.

Also check if they have special hours or contact options in the event of a dental emergency. Whenever you’re choosing a dental practice, it’s important to consider if they can cater to your needs in unexpected circumstances.

Book an Initial Appointment

Once you choose a dental practice or two from your initial list, book an appointment. During your visit, assess what their customer service is like, how detailed the information you get from the dentist is, and make inquiries about the services they offer to make sure they are in line with your specific dental needs.
