Interview Questions for Selecting a Dentist
- Do you have flexible hours?
A well managed office should have evening hours and Saturdays available to assure access for patients with complicated lifestyles
- Can I come for the "tour of the office?"
Good offices are always glad to show off their facilities. This way you can evaluate their cleanliness, friendliness of the staff, updated equipment, etc.
- Can you give me a "tour of my mouth" and show me my problelms?
A well equipped or state-of-the-art office should have an intra-oral camera available for your examination.
- Can you provide an image of how my mouth would look after treatment?
This should be a standard procedure of any cosmetic practice.
- Does the dentist wear magnification devices?
A dentist cannot treat what he/she cannot see. Magnification helps to detect problems you wouldn't see without it.
- Is the dentist proficient in different areas of dentistry (gum treatment, root canals, implants, veneers, etc)?
Failure to investigate this fully may result in you being shuffled off to other dentists for treatments the dentist cannot perform.
- Can you provide testimonials and pictures of some patients you have treated (in your interest area)?
A talented cosmetic dentist who takes pride in his/her work and should have several cases for you to review.
- Is the dentist the sole owner of the practice?
Dentists who operate their practice tend to be more responsible and provide a higher or better quality service.
- Do you guarantee your work?
A well tenured cosmetic dentist who takes pride in his or work work guarantees the work, such as crowns, bridges, dentures, veneers, etc.
- Do you have a laser?
A sophisticated dental office that promotes premium cosmetic aesthetic dentistry should be expected to use laser technologies for a variety of specific procedures. Lasers are unmatched in their efficiency and precision applications.
