Oakville, ON, patients ask, “How do I find a good dentist office?”

Finding a dental practice you like and trust is serious business. Many patients are nervous about dental treatment and want to be sure the practice treats their patients with honesty and respect. However, patients who have moved to the Oakville, ON, area recently or those who aren’t happy with their current dental practice may find themselves asking, “how do I find a good dentist office?”

Dr. Shefali Tuli of the Burloak Centre Dentistry team understands the challenge of finding a dental practice where patients are comfortable and happy. She offers the following suggestions to help you find the right dentist for you and the entire family.

• Ask for referrals – We ask our friends for referrals on restaurants, hair salons, car dealerships, and the latest fitness trend. Why not ask your friends or family if they love their dentist? If they do, find out why and decide if that might be right fit for you as well.
• Do your research – Some dentists specialize in certain treatments or types of dentistry. Others may not have experience with a particular issue that you’ve been experiencing. Typically, a review of their website will help you determine if you are able to receive all the services you need from one practice.
• Visit the office – Sometimes the best way to tell if a dental practice is the right one for you is to schedule an appointment. During this appointment you’ll determine if you feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment you walk into the office. You’ll learn more about the services the team provides and you’ll meet the hygienists and the dentist.
• Meet the team – Ideally you should feel comfortable asking any questions and voicing any concerns to the dentist and the entire team. They should listen and take the time to understand your oral health history and any improvements you may want to make in the future.

At Burloak Centre Dentistry, our team works with countless patients to improve their oral health and the appearance of their smile. We take the time to get to know our patients, understand their concerns, and deliver the results they want. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (905) 581-4436 today.
