Selecting a new dentist is a difficult task for many people. Due to the sensitive nature of someone working on your mouth, it’s often best to ask for referrals from family, friends or coworkers. If you’re new to town, don’t have family and friends in town, commute long distance or work remote, you may not have a trusted local network to ask. If you’re like most people, you’ll probably turn to finding a dentist through an online search.

Before choosing, you’ll want to compare and narrow down your options. Be sure to consider:

Proximity – How close is the dental office is to your home or workplace?
Specialty – If you need a specific type of dental work, like implants, dentures or cosmetic dentistry, be sure to check that your selected dentist can provide the service.
Availability – Is their schedule easily available online for you to find and book an appointment time that works best with your schedule?
Insurance – If you have insurance, is the dentist in-network?
Technology – Does the office make it easy for you to communicate with them, provide appointment reminders, pay your bills and schedule at your convenience, online?
