How
to Find a Great Dentist
So,
how do you do that? Would you
look at ones credentials, or you
just ask a friend. What is
important and relevant and what
is just marketing generated
value?
To answer these questions lets
review each deciding factor
separately:
Location:
Many
people choose their dentist
based on where his or her office
is. They figure "I don't have to
travel long distance to get to
him so let's find the closest
dentist." On average (if you are
a disciplined patient) you
probably have to go to your
dentist twice a year. Therefore,
although you should not choose a
dentist who practices 30 miles
away, you shouldn't pick the
dentist that has an office in
the closest shopping center
either, unless there are other
reasons for it.
Age:
"Should I go to a young, middle
age or old dentist?" Older
dentists are more experienced...
right? But younger ones are more
familiar with latest technology
and are more up-to-date...
aren't they? The fact is
stereotyping will not give you
an accurate result all the time.
You may end up with an
inexperienced dentist who is not
the high-tech guru you hopped
for, or with an old dentist with
no great skills even after
years.
The
skills and degree of knowledge
depends more on individual
doctors rather than their age
alone.
Memberships
Is
that a positive point for your
dentist if he or she is a member
of let's say American Dental
Association? To be honest with
you, when anybody who pays the
membership will become a member,
how can that be a positive?
What
is probably more important than
different memberships is whether
your doctor has any special
CLINICAL achievements within
that organization. There are a
lot of doctors who are good
administrators or good speakers
but not necessarily good
clinicians.
A
good administrator can move up
in an organization rather
quickly but it does not always
translate to a superior ability
to provide higher quality of
dental care to patients.
Faculty Member
How
important is to be a faculty
member of a reputable dental
school? As it was the case with
association membership, being a
faculty member by itself does
not make a dentist a better
clinician. Nothing against that
valuable credential, but if you
are a good researcher or an
excellent teacher it does not
mean that you are necessarily
better (clinically) at what you
do. As a matter of fact there
are a lot of faculty members
that lack the clinical
experience necessary for high
quality dental care.
So
if your dentist or the
prospective one is a faculty
member take that as a positive
but don't make your decision
solely based on that.
Fees
Are
higher fees mean better service?
Is a low cast dentist provides a
lower quality of care?
It
is difficult to find a direct
relation between the two. Yes,
if the fee for dental procedures
is really less than what you
expect, you want to find out
why. At the same time a very
high price dental treatment does
not equate a very high quality
of work.
So, what should you look for?
Office Appearance:
If
you have a chance to take a look
at a dental practice or have
friends who have been to an
dental office you can use that
information to some extent to
evaluate your dentist.
You
may say: "what does that have to
do with a dentist's clinical
skills?" Well, maybe no relation
directly but a dentist who cares
about the appearance of his/her
practice is someone that in
general cares about esthetics.
Some one who spends time on
decorating a practice and makes
sure his practice is always
spotless is usually a person who
pays attention to details (Which
is very important in dentistry).
A
doctor who cares about his
patient's experience in his
office usually cares about his
patients' health in general.
Now
it is always true that a dentist
may spend time and money in
decoration for marketing
reasons, but that certainly
should not be considered a
negative.
Office Organization:
A
dentist who manages an organized
office is usually an organized
person in general. If I wanted
to find someone to take care of
my teeth, I would want someone
organized and neat. Someone who
can manage my treatment the same
way he manages a successful
business, with care and due
diligence.
Doctor's Attitude:
A
confident doctor usually is a
calm and friendly one.
Nervousness comes from stress
and lack of confidence. Although
you can not use this fact as a
general rule, you can look at it
as an important factor.
Staff
Staff issue is probably one of
the least relevant ones.
Surprised? Don't be. I have seen
so many good doctors with bad
staff members who reflected
negatively on the dentist. You
may say it is the doctor's fault
if a staff member does not
perform well and you are right
at least to some extent. But the
issue is that finding good staff
especially in good economic
times is very challenging. So,
try your best to make your
decision on the doctor
himself/herself rather than the
attitude of one staff member.
Other Dental Professional
Referrals
Referral by other dental
professional is usually a strong
endorsement for a dentist. This
is one of a few methods you can
rely on to expect a good quality
service without knowing much
about the dentist yourself.
Another dental professional must
have seen something from the
referee doctor to be willing to
put his own professional
reputation on the line for
him/her. This is specially the
case when you are referred to an
specialist whether it is a
Periodontist (gum specialist),
Endodontist (root canal
specialist) or other dental
specialties.
Finding a good, skilled and
caring dentist is not always
easy but when you do find one
stick to him/her. Don't allow an
insurance plan policy or
financial issue come in between
you and your doctor.
