How to find a reliable dentist you can trust

spa-dental-sydney

Finding a dentist in Sydney you can trust is on the same level of priority as finding a good school for your children, or locating an excellent family doctor.

It must also be a good fit. You wouldn’t send your offspring to a sub-standard school, so don’t compromise your teeth by settling for a dental practitioner who doesn’t quite fit the bill.

Our team at Spa Dental Sydney offer a comprehensive range of services, performed by highly trained dental professionals. Not only are we skilled at what we do, but we pride ourselves on being friendly and approachable. Your children, parents, and grandparents are in good hands at our clinic!

Ask your current dental practitioner for a recommendation

If you’re in the market for a new dentist, it’s probably because you’re moving to another area, or your current dental practitioner is retiring.

Recommendations from your existing dentist are bound to be reliable and unbiased.

Ask for personal recommendation

Ask a trusted friend if they know of great dentists in the area. You can generally rely upon loved ones to be impartial.

Read online

For the most part, Google reviews of Facebook comments can be counted on for their unbiased reviews. 

Pictures are worth a thousand words – check out before and after snaps of smile makeovers. Proceed with caution if there aren’t any or the practice doesn’t have a website.

So you have your top three and can’t make a final choice. Visiting each dental practice will help to make this decision easier by taking a mental note of the following:

  • Is the reception area airy, bright, and cleaned to the highest standards?
  • Are the treatment rooms hygienic?
  • What type of equipment is currently being used?
  • Did the dental health practitioner answer your questions to your satisfaction?
  • Was the dentist happy to show you his or her credentials?

What other factors should I consider?

There are several questions you can ask yourself or prospective dentists that can help you to refine your search and locate your ideal dental clinic quickly.

  • What are their office hours? Are they flexible with appointments?

If you work late or juggle a hectic schedule, a clinic open in the evenings or Saturday mornings is likely to be more convenient for you. It goes without saying that you should try to find a dentist in an area near to you.

  • What are the health and safety measures?

With the current global pandemic, cleaning procedures and safety protocols are of paramount importance. Ask your dentist how often they disinfect the clinic, what protective gear they wear, and whether or not patient screening takes place.

  •  Do you have dental insurance?

If so, does the dentist accept your plan?

  • Ask about their treatment recommendations

Here at Spa Dental Sydney we feel we fulfil all of these criteria, with our dedicated and proficient professionals we know we can provide all of our services to the highest level. Call us, we would be only too happy to speak with you about your dental requirements.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
