In such a case, the best resource is found online through local dental practice website and online reviews.

- Educational and professional qualifications of the dentist and other personnel
It goes without saying that the professional and educational qualifications of the dentists and other personnel at the dental clinic are among the first things to consider. This ensures that the dentist is qualified and professional reducing the risk of complications during and after receiving dental care. The dentist and other personnel should thus be qualified to ensure quality services.
- The dentist’s expertise and experience
You should seek out a highly experienced and skilled dentist wherever possible. Such dentists have handled many cases and know the most effective methods as well as likely areas of complication. Experienced and knowledgeable dentists provide better service and peace of mind that you are in good hands.
- Types of dentistry services offered
Different dentists are skilled in different services such as preventive, cosmetic and corrective dental services. You should first determine the services you require and then review services offered by your chosen dental care provider.
- Professionalism and helpfulness of the personnel
Another important aspect is the professionalism and helpfulness of the personnel in the dental clinic including hygienists and staff. Each person should be knowledgeable about their areas of expertise and be eager to help. Choosing a dentist with experienced and friendly staff will help you feel well cared for and comfortable during dental cleanings, examinations and treatment.
- Available technology
Each dental clinic has different technology used to provide dental care. Dentists will also have differing levels of proficiency in the use of various technologies. You can even take the time to research different technologies available in different dental clinics. More technologically advanced dental clinics and dentists are often able to offer extended services.
- Location
