Find a Dentist

All dentists are required to be licensed by meeting specific requirements and training and it is often a matter of taking the time to find the best “fit” for you. A phone call to the office or a visit to the dentist’s website may provide help with regard to language options, location, accessibility, insurance and payment options, hours of operation, recall programs, and more.

Find a dentist

Choosing a dentist can be a daunting task. The best resources when choosing a new dentist are your friends, relatives or work colleagues who may be able to make recommendations. Other health professionals, such as your doctor or pharmacist, may also be able to make recommendations. Remember, all dentists are required to be licensed by meeting specific requirements and training and it is often a matter of taking the time to find the best “fit” for you. A phone call to the office or a visit to the dentists website may provide help with regard to language options, location, accessibility, insurance and payment options, hours of operation, recall programs, etc. If your general dentist is unable to provide some of the services that you require, he or she may refer you to a general dentist colleague or a specialist.

When choosing a dentist you may wish to consider if the practice offers the services you are looking for. A general dentist’s service may include:

  • Routine checkups, fillings and teeth cleaning
  • Prosthodontics (Crowns, bridges, dentures)
  • Endodontics (‘Root canal’) treatments
  • Oral surgery (‘Extractions’, etc.)
  • Periodontal (Gum) treatment
  • Orthodontics (‘Straightening of teeth’)
  • Pediatric (‘Children’s’) dentistry services
