How to Choose a General Dentist

Serving Kanata, Stittsville and Ottawa, Ontario

Ottawa dentistry

When you are looking for a dentist for yourself or your family, you will want to evaluate a variety of criteria in order to find a practice that will accommodate all of your dentistry needs. At Dentistry at Main we offer free consultations to help you learn more about our team and our services, and to help you understand why we take dentistry so seriously.

When you are asking your potential general dentist questions, you should be prepared to ask about his:

  • Credentials
  • Experience
  • Treatment options
  • Hours of operation
  • Vision for dentistry
  • Patient testimonials

Credentials

While most dentists have a basic understanding of general dentistry, basic dentistry training does not equip dentists with the most advanced and up-to-date knowledge. Finding a dentist who has completed additional training in various branches of dentistry can help ensure that your dentist is qualified to treat all of your dentistry conditions as they arise over time.

Experience

Training and experience are not the same, and you should be prepared to ask your potential general dentist if he has experience with your particular concerns. Because experience with similar cases can help your dentist provide you with the best possible outcome from your procedures, ask your dentist about his experience with unusual cases and complications.

Serves Whole Family

Just as you would probably prefer your entire family to see the same doctor, finding a dentist who is able to treat your entire family provides you with added convenience and peace of mind. A dentist who serves your whole family builds a relationship that is based on your history together, and enables your dentist to know as much as possible about you and your family first-hand. Looking for a dental practice offering family dentistry services will ultimately mean fewer trips to the dentist’s office for you, since you can bring your entire family for cleanings at the same time.

Advanced Dental Technology

Even if your dentist is offering the same procedures as other dentists, he or she may be working with out-of-date dental technology, which can ultimately cost you in time and money. Be prepared to ask your potential general dentist if he offers the latest in dental technology including:
