How to Find a Good Dentist?

You’ve moved house, settled into your new home, and now comes the arduous task of finding new local services like doctors and dentists. This process need not be as challenging as you think.

So, where to start?

We have put together a list of top things to consider and questions to ask when choosing a dentist.

1. Recommendations: Ask friends, family, and neighbours where they go and who they see. People are usually happy to share their honest opinions about dental services they’ve received.

2. Ask a Local Pharmacist: Pharmacists often know reputable dental practices in the area, though their recommendations may be second-hand.

3. Search Online: Use search engines, local forums, and social media to gather community recommendations. Check online reviews and ratings before calling a practice.

4. Use Trusted Resources: Websites like www.nhs.uk and www.bda.org can provide lists of both NHS and private dentists in your area, along with their specialties.

Questions to Ask a Potential Dental Practice

• What are the opening hours? Are they convenient for your schedule?
• Is the practice easy to reach from work or home?
• Do they focus on preventive care as well as treatments?
• What are the arrangements for emergency care?
• How long is the average wait time for appointments?
• Are fees and treatment options clearly explained in writing?
• Do they offer specialist treatments or referrals?
• What services are provided in-house?
• Can they accommodate special needs?
• Are finance or payment plans available?

Key Things to Consider When Contacting a Practice

• Was the staff welcoming, courteous, and knowledgeable?
• Was the practice clean and tidy?
• Do they invest in modern technology and techniques?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” you may want to continue your search or discuss your concerns with the practice. If everything checks out, it’s time to schedule your first appointment!
