Is the Internet Any Place to Find a Dentist?
It's no longer surprising that hundreds of people every year become our new patients after finding us on the internet. Every one searches for every thing nowadays.

As expected many are new to the area,and they are looking for a new dental practice--usually a place near their work. But you might be surprised to hear that many are not new to Washington and they already have a dentist--one they actually still like!

"Hi" I'm thinking about having veneers done," they say. "My dentist is a nice guy. But I don't feel comfortable having him do this kind of work. I just don't think he does much of it."

We hear this quite a lot. And who can blame them? Cosmetic dentistry not only is a big step for some of us, but it also can be a big financial investment. This conflict reinforces how difficult it can be for patients to choose the right place, and the right doctor. I advise these patients to do two things:
1.Visit different dental offices on the web, look at before and after photos--of actual patients treated in that office (some doctors buy stock photos).
2.Try to make an appointment to pay an on-site visit to meet the doctor, and hear what he/she has to say about your case.

These steps reveal the doctor's level of experience and also (and this is important) whether the doctor has "good taste in teeth." In the end, there needs to be an intuitive feeling of comfort--that this doctor will understand and provide the correct result.
