Ask for Recommendations

An easy place to get started is asking for recommendations from your friends, family members, and coworkers. If they live in your area and have a dental care provider they trust, they’re a good resource to help you find the right dentistry practice. You can also look for referrals from your past dentist, a local physician, or your insurance plan.

Check the Basics

First, look at a dental office website or give the team a call to ask about the basics including:

• What qualifications do the dentists and team members have?
• Does the staff participate in continuing education or maintain memberships in professional organizations?
• Where is the office located?
• What are the office hours?
• Does the office offer emergency dentistry services?
• What dental services are available in the office?

Look for a Longview Dentist You Can Trust

Many patients know to look for the basics like training and experience, but what really makes a dental practice special is the environment the dentist and team members create for their patients. You’ll want to find a practice where the dentist and team members are:

• Comfortable working with people and friendly
• Easy to talk to and communicate complicated dental information in an understandable way
• Detail oriented professionals who are passionate about their field and work hard to stay at the leading edge of dentistry
• Trustworthy and honest practitioners who stand behind their work
• Valued members of their communities who work hard to improve oral health and hygiene for underserved populations
