You and your family have just moved to a new area. As you learn where the grocery stores are, research new restaurants you want to try, and get the kids situated with their new schools, you also look around for necessary resources, like a dentist’s office. You ask yourself, “How do I find the right dentist?”
Should you go with a single general dentist? A practice that has more than one dentist? Do you take your kids to a specialist? With so many options, it can be difficult to decide. However, here’s why you should consider choosing a practice that has multiple dentists and that offers basically all services.
Care for Everyone in the Family
Although you could take your kids to a pediatric dentist and visit a general dentist for yourself, it may make more sense for you to get your dental healthcare from one practice. When your entire family goes to that practice, the team there can truly get to know you and your loved ones. You may even be able to schedule your appointments together, which saves you time! Instead of having to visit multiple offices, you can simply take everyone to one convenient location.
Easy Access to Expertise
You may not need to visit a specialist’s office (such as a pediatric dentist or a prosthodontist) in order to get the quality care you want for your smile. Even general dentists can have specialized training in certain procedures. For instance, many general dentists are trained to place dental implants. When you have multiple dentists in one practice, you have a wider set of skills to work with. Chances are that they can provide the treatment you need in-house, sparing you the trouble of traveling to a specialist’s office.
Easy Collaboration
Sometimes it’s good to get a second opinion or confirmation before you begin treatment. When you have multiple dentists in the practice, you can stay with a team you already know and trust and save time that you otherwise would have wasted going to another office. Also, if another dentist needs to be brought in for support during a procedure, they can lend a helping hand much more easily.
In the end, moving is full of changes and learning the “new normal” as you transition. Picking the right dental practice can be a tricky decision, but finding one with multiple providers in one practice can conveniently give you and your family what you need. As your family adjusts to the new town, this practice can help you feel more at home.
