Maybe you already have a family dentist, but you’re not completely happy with them, or perhaps you’re looking for a reputable dental professional with an extensive range of dental services. No matter what you need, you must establish what you and your family find important. It’s crucial that you are happy with your dentist and that they fit your dental needs and priorities.
If you are in Fort Lauderdale and are in the market for a new family dentist, consider the following:
It’s important to consider what is important to you. Is it a priority that your dentist is near to your office or your child’s school? Would you be willing to drive further out if you like the dentist? Has your child been to a dentist before, or is this their first time? Are you looking for a kid-friendly environment, or are you looking for a dentist that fills all the dental needs of each member of your family, without having to drive to different dental locations?
It’s essential to narrow down your priorities when shopping for a family dentist. Being happy with your dentist can make oral health care fun instead of a chore. We believe that it’s important to establish a comfortable relationship with our patients so they can always come to us, even in the event of a dental emergency.
Your dental staff—We want our patients to feel absolutely comfortable with us; this allows for open and easy communication. You will interact with a lot of our dental staff, from making and changing your appointment, to going through your insurance benefits and billing, to any dental related questions. We encourage our patients to look for a warm and patient-centric dental environment when you are looking for a dental provider.
Education and training—Even the friendliest dental staff does not make up for lack of training and education. It’s important to ascertain if the dentist is highly trained and educated in the dental procedures they recommend. Many dentists are happy to provide their credentials and go over their training. At Raynald Michel DDS, we encourage any and all dental-related questions.
Regardless of why you are interested in a new local dentist, we stress prioritizing what’s important to you and your family. Establishing a comfortable working relationship with your dentist is key in making each visit stress-free and relaxed.
