3 Offerings Your New Dentist MUST Have

Petersen Family Dentistry • December 20, 2022



When you are in search of a new dentist, you should seek to find one with whom you can remain a patient indefinitely. As long as you are happy with the dental staff as well as the treatment and dentistry services offered, there are many reasons to stay.



For example, they will likely be familiar with your health records firsthand, whereas a new dentist might not fully understand your individual situation. For another, scheduling becomes a much easier process as you schedule your twice-yearly exams. What’s more, finding a dentist with whom you have a good and longstanding relationship simply makes dental visits more pleasant.



However, finding the right fit is not always easy. It can be frustrating trying out multiple dentists in an attempt to find the best dental practice for you. This is especially true when you come to find that they do not specialize in an area of treatment that you require now or may need in the future. For this reason, you should seek a dental practice that specializes in a rather wide variety of offerings. This way, you can be confident that your needs will be met now and in the future.



Below are three offerings to look for that will ensure just that.




General Dentistry




This area of dentistry covers routine and preventative treatments and offerings such as cleanings, exams and basic dental education.



General dentistry is the cornerstone of oral health and can help you avoid the need for more involved areas of treatment down the road. It is also a very common field of dentistry. If you find an option that does not offer general dentistry, it is safe to assume that they are not the right fit for your recurring dental needs.



 

Restorative Dentistry





As the name suggests, this field of dentistry is focused on restoring teeth to their full form and functionality – or even replacing missing teeth entirely if that is needed. It includes treatments like fillings, crowns, bridges and dental implants.

Hopefully, your teeth will stay strong and healthy, but it is important to see a dentist who can help you if they do not. This will not only provide you peace of mind, but also ensure that your teeth can be repaired or replaced if the need ever arises.

 



Cosmetic Dentistry





Cosmetic dentistry is designed to improve the appearance of your teeth. It includes options such as whitening, veneers, bonding, sealants and gum contouring. If you have issues with the way your teeth look that are not directly tied to your health, such as discoloration, misshapenness or an undesirable gumline, cosmetic dentistry can help resolve them. Even if you are happy with your smile at the moment, choosing a practice with experience in this area can help you rest assured that you can refresh your smile in the future should you desire.
