Useful tips for finding a cosmetic dentist
Finding a dentist is not the ordeal it used to be. Thanks to the power of the modern internet and a few other steps you can filter out the less than reputable providers and those that may not be qualified to perform the procedure you are interested in.
Regardless of whether you are interested in whitening or reconstructive surgery, it is easier than ever to find a dentist that can meet your budget needs and your expectations. Please contact us today.
What are the best resources available?
One of the best resources for just about any type of information is the internet, even though sometimes you end up with many more results than you could ever use.
The internet does have very distinct advantages including the ability to screen results based upon the provider’s location, what types of procedures they offer and even the costs of the procedures saving you valuable time and money.
The internet can also be an extremely useful tool when verifying the credentials and experience of a surgeon to ensure that when you do find a dentist it will be a qualified and trusted one.
Check their qualifications and experience
Another way to quickly find a cosmetic dentist that is recognised for quality is to look for the provider’s associations and qualifications. There are several nationally recognised dental associations in the UK that screen their members for experience, quality and record of patient satisfaction.
These organisations often keep lists of their active members and make it quite simple to locate a qualified surgeon that is a specialist in the procedures you are considering.
Certifications are also an easy way to filter through the providers that are not qualified and when it comes to cosmetic procedures you want to know your surgeon specialises in your particular procedure.
Cosmetic dentists we reccommend
Here are a few cosmetic dentists we’ve kept an eye on across the UK:
- Shawlands Dental (Glasgow) – Best for teeth whitening
- Eastside Dental (Swansea) – Best for customer satisfaction
- Maida Smiles (London) – Best for Implant-supported dentures
- Wooten Bridge Dental (Isle of Wight) Best for Veneers
- Chapel Dental – Great for restorative work in the High Wycombe area.
What are other people saying?
Probably the best way to find a dentist is to combine the internet and dental association memberships with references from existing patients.
This is best done on review websites such as Trustpilot and Google reviews.
There is no endorsement better than someone who has had the experience firsthand and there are so many procedures performed each year that finding previous patients is not that difficult.
