How to choose a new dentist?

Experience and convenience are the 2 most important factors to consider when choosing a new dentist. Experience is not a synonym to the number of years in practice. Knowledge gained through practicing dentistry will build experience. Dental experience is measured by producing successful results routinely not occasionally. Learning from experts in the field by attending their CE courses can strengthen experience. Quality conscious patients are usually critical in selecting an experienced dentist.

Convenience will make access to dental service easy. Personally, I prefer to see a dentist in my building than to drive 10 miles to see another dentist. If the dentist in my building is not competent, I rather drive 20 miles to see an experienced dentist.

These stars reflect an individual experience and not a fair judgment.  The community need a review system based on none-biased professional judgment by experts in the field rather than reviews by reactive or paid individuals.

 

Are famous dentists the best dentists?

The short answer for this question is: not necessarily. Some average dentists got famous by luck. On the other hands, some famous dentists are truly competent and experienced professionals. Famous dental practices are more likely found in rich neighborhoods. This makes since because high end dental procedures are costly. Famous dentists attract customers from all areas regardless of the socio-economic level of the area.
