Find the Dentist that is Right For You
Hi everyone! My name is Niko, and I'm here with Simply Smiles. I'm the new patient coordinator. We get a lot of questions about how to find a dentist in your local area that is right for you. I'm going to be answering some of those questions today.
What should I consider when choosing a dentist?
I think the two main things to consider when choosing a dentist are their reviews and credentials. Make sure they have a lot of happy patients and check their website to see their credentials. You want to ensure you have someone with a lot of experience and satisfied patients.
How do I find an expert in cosmetic dentistry in Sarasota?
Cosmetic dentistry includes things like veneers and achieving that Hollywood smile. When choosing a cosmetic dentist, look for credentials and experience. What specific training do they have for what you're seeking, whether it's implants or veneers?
Also, look at before and after photos of actual patients they have worked on. Reviews and testimonials from those patients are important to see how satisfied they are with the process, experience, and results.
How do I find an expert in restorative dentistry in Sarasota?
Restorative dentistry includes procedures like bridges, crowns, and fillings, which are needed to maintain a healthy smile and mouth. Again, check the training and experience of the dentist.
- How many years of experience do they have?
- What specific training do they have?
- Do they specialize in what you are looking for?
- What technology do they use?
- Do they offer the latest technology, like 3D scanners, to ensure the best possible outcome?
Also, ensure they provide patient-centered care. You want them to look after your entire mouth for the best possible outcome, not just one problem area.
How do I find the right family dentist in Sarasota?
I can't speak for all offices, but here at Simply Smiles, we happily take care of the whole family, including children ages four and up. One big thing that families look for is the ability to handle multiple appointments at one time. Ensure the dentist has enough space and resources to take care of the whole family. We aim to be a one-stop shop, making one trip so we can get everyone taken care of.
How do I find a dentist in Sarasota who works with my insurance provider?
There are many types of dental insurance policies, such as HMOs, DMOs, or PPOs. Without going into the specifics of all of these, here at Simply Smiles, we are in-network with Delta Dental Premiere. That's the only insurance company we're in-network with. However, I do accept and bill out to all PPO plans as a courtesy.
