Training, experience, and service all matter when you’re looking for a dentist. At Arden Executive Dental, we have created the following guide to explain why each of these facets matter in creating the best experience possible.
Patient Care
A friendly staff that delivers excellent attention and service to their dental patients is high on the list of qualities patients appreciate most. You should feel comfortable asking any member of your dentist’s office questions regarding your appointment, treatment, or billing. As front office staff members are often the first people you meet at a dental practice, the first impression matters when you’re choosing who to trust with your care.
Comfort and Amenities
No one wants to sit in a waiting room for too long. When a dentist values your time, you can expect prompt appointments or at the very least, a text or email notification if an emergency has occurred that changed the schedule. During your short time in the waiting room, many things can affect your level of comfort, such as cleanliness, TV, music, and the general attitude of the staff. Even while some patients feel anxious when visiting the dentist, the environment at the office should put them at ease in any way possible.
In the Dentist’s Chair
Length of time matters here too, especially if you are waiting for the dentist to see other patients while you are left in the operatory. During treatment, the choice of music, TV programming, or even a blanket or pillow can help alleviate tension. Most of all, the gentle approach of the dentist and hygienist is important while undergoing treatment. You should be able to ask any questions and pause treatment if you feel any discomfort. If additional procedures are recommended, you should be provided with options to choose from, depending on your budget and preferences.
Effective Technology
Many people want to know the dentist they’re visiting has invested in beneficial technology, which makes appointments quicker and more comfortable. While many dentists offer a gentle approach without modern technology, the right tools can make your patient experience far more positive.
Experience and Training
Check your dentist’s official website for information about their training and years of experience. You can usually find patient reviews there, which help you manage expectations during your own visit. Take note of any awards or accolades that demonstrate the dentist’s involvement in the community and commitment to excellent care.
At Arden Executive Dental, we offer convenient dental technology, such as digital X-rays and laser treatments, to complement Dr. Amini’s years of training and dedication to ongoing education. We offer a welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable getting the care you need for a healthy smile.
