    What to Look For When Choosing a Dentist

    Posted on December 31st, 2017 by Dr. Peter Tomaselli

    If you are in search of great dentist in the Gold Coast of Chicago, then you must know what to look for to ensure you choose wisely. Follow these guidelines to avoid choosing the wrong dental practice.

    Technology

    Even if you have received a name of a dentist from someone you trust, you should still conduct an online check of that doctor. Research what kind of techniques and technologies the dentist you're researching is offering. Dentists at the top of their field are often frontrunners in new technological practices and actively work to stay abreast of industry changes. See what the dentist office offers and their approach to an evolving industry.

    Experience

    Even though you might have received a reference from your friend, you must still make sure that you look into the doctor’s skills and knowledge. Although all doctors need to start their career with new patients, you do not want to be their guinea pig! Ensuring that the office you choose has plenty of reviews and years of experience is crucial. Seeing a dentist who is younger is great, you just must make sure that he/she has received the top-rated training with excellent patient feedback. Typically, established practices bring in newer and fresh out of school doctors, who were the top of their class. Bringing these doctors into their already reputable practice adds a dynamic element to their practice. As long as you see he/she has the best background and a well-known team there for support and guidance, you are in the best hands.

    Wait Time

    Always remember this rule; that your time is just as valuable as your doctor’s. Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule, like emergencies. However, you should still get seen within a reasonable time frame. You want to know that you are valued as a patient and getting the courtesy of getting seen close to or at your scheduled time is significant.
