How to Find the Best Dentist In South Surrey

Finding a new dentist in South Surrey can be a daunting experience. You can’t exactly line up a string of interviews, asking each dentist what their qualifications are before deciding between the top three candidates.

If you live in the Lower Mainland or especially in South Surrey, you’ll find that are a lot of dentists to choose from. Each is probably vying for the chance to work with you. It can be overwhelming to sort out which dentist is the right fit for your needs.

But don’t fret — there are ways to sort through the sea of information out there. In fact, we’ve come up with a handy checklist for you if you are on the hunt for a new dentist in South Surrey.

Cross Reference with your Insurance

Insurance policies vary so make sure that the dentists you are scoping out are covered by your package.

Do Your Research

A simple online search is a great place to start when trying to find a new dentist in South Surrey. If they have a website, they will probably have bios that state their experience, as well as a page describing the the services they offer. Things like proximity or if the office is wheelchair accessible might be important to you and you can gather all this basic evidence from the information listed online.

Check Reviews on South Surrey Dentists

For all its faults, one of the best ways the internet is used is for review sites. It’s a good idea to review potential dentists in South Surrey and see what other people’s experiences are. However, do take online reviews with a grain of salt. Look at all the opinions listed and find general patterns rather than focusing on the one or two experiences that sit at either end of the spectrum. Some people simply have an axe to grind and might write a bad review out of spite. But generally speaking, you can get a clear idea of what the general consensus is.

Ask Around

One step better than reviews from strangers are reviews from friends, neighbours and other people that like in your neighbourhood. Especially if you are new to an area, ask people you often interact with like the barista or bus driver. (The added bones is that you get to know the people around you!) See if they have any recommendations — it’s always nice to build relationships this way.

Stop By At Dentist Office

While you can’t schedule face to face interviews with your potential South Surrey dentists, you can certainly pop into the office and have a conversation with the people doing the scheduling and working reception. You will certainly get a feel for what’s to come from the condition of the waiting area and the demeanour of the support staff. If everyone is happy to work there and the rooms are well taken care of, you can safely assume that the quality of work is high.

We take a great deal of pride in the work we do, but we also know that there is a range of quality and experience out there. Our clients’ safety, happiness and quality of care come absolutely first, and we are certain that even with some deep digging, potentially new clients will learn this on our own.
