Your Camrose Invisalign® Provider
When searching for a new dentist, it's important to think about a few things. Our Camrose dentists can give you advice on selecting the best dentist to meet your needs.
Reputation
If you want to find a good dentist, it's important to ask people you know for recommendations and look at online reviews to see what others think. You can also get a list of dentists in your area by contacting your local or provincial dental society.
Personal Rapport & Comfort Level
It's crucial to have a good relationship with your dentist, so it's important to feel comfortable around them. When you first meet with a new dentist, think about these things: do they listen to your symptoms and questions, can you talk to them about any fears or anxieties you have, and do they explain procedures well and understand your concerns?
Specialties, Services & Emergency Care
Dental technology has improved, and now dentists can provide more services. Before choosing a dentist, make sure they offer preventive, restorative, cosmetic treatments, and emergency care. If you have a specific oral health problem, finding a dentist who specializes in treating that issue is a good idea.
Location & Office Hours
When looking for a new dentist, it's important to consider location and convenience. Is the dentist's office located near your home or workplace? Is it accessible by public transportation? If you drive, is there convenient parking available? Additionally, check if the office hours fit with your schedule to ensure maximum convenience.
Accessibility
If you're treating patients with special needs, it's crucial to ensure that your dental office can provide them with the necessary accommodations. This includes making sure your office is physically accessible, as well as offering dental sedation services. This is a critical component of complete dental care.
Costs & Money Matters
The prices for dental services can be different depending on the dentist you go to. It's important to check if your dentist follows the official fee guide for your province and if they accept your insurance and can file your insurance claim electronically. You should also ask if they offer different payment options like personal checks, credit cards, or interest-free payment plans.
Your health is the most important thing, but it's also important to consider the costs. If you're not sure how much a procedure will cost, don't be afraid to ask for an estimate. Our administrative team is always available to help answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Scheduling
How does the office keep track of appointments, remind people of their upcoming appointments, cancel appointments when needed, and handle other related issues?
The Office
Before scheduling your first appointment with us, would you like to visit Duggan Dental to check if our dental office is clean and organized and if our receptionists and administrative team are welcoming?
We would be delighted to arrange a pre-scheduled visit for you so that you can become familiar with our friendly team and our pleasant environment. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
The Dentist's Approach to Care
When it comes to choosing a dentist, it's also important to confirm that your new dentist has the same values you do. Talk to the dentist to learn about his or her approach to their dentist-patient relationships, and whether you two would be a good match.
