\"choosing\"Whether you are new to Norwood or simply unhappy with your current dentist, you now find yourself in the same position as many of your friends and neighbors: you need a new family dentist in Norwood<\/strong>. Searching for a dentist is now simpler yet more complicated than ever–a quick internet search will give you literally thousands of results to sift through! At Norwood Dental Care, we believe your entire dental experience should be easy and stress-free\u2014even searching for a dentist! To help speed along the process, here are the 4 most important things you should look for when choosing a dentist.<\/p>\n

1. The Doctor\u2019s Qualifications<\/h2>\n

Of course, you want to know everything you can about the dentist you\u2019ll be seeing at a particular practice. A great place to start is by reading their bio on their site. In it, you should be able to learn where a doctor went to school, how long they have been practicing, if they have any special qualifications, as well as some personal information about them.<\/p>\n

For example, when you read our own Dr. John Michaels<\/a>\u2019 bio, you\u2019ll see that he received his dental degree from the Ohio State University Dental School, and since then, he has taken over 1,000 hours of continuing education in cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, and orthodontics. He\u2019s also a family man with five children, two cats, and a dog that keep him and his wife very busy. It\u2019s always good to visit a family dentist who understands firsthand the time demands on a parent!<\/p>\n

2. Their Services<\/h2>\n

A practice\u2019s list of services will show you everything they have to offer your family and should include basic preventive<\/a>, restorative<\/a>, and cosmetic<\/a> services. This will show that they are able to serve patients of all ages as well as meet everyone\u2019s essential dental needs. Beyond that, keep an eye out for more advanced services that help distinguish a practice from the pack.<\/p>\n

At Norwood Dental Care, in addition to being the home of your general and cosmetic dentist in Norwood, we also provide periodontal therapy<\/a>, orthodontics, and endodontics<\/a>. What does this mean for you?<\/strong> It means if someone in your family has gum disease, needs to straighten their smile, or requires a root canal, we\u2019ll be able to handle that in-house and won\u2019t send you running around town to another office.<\/p>\n

3. Location, Location, Location<\/h2>\n

A practice could be the best one in the world, but it doesn\u2019t help if it isn\u2019t in your area! A practice that is conveniently located will make it much easier for you to attend regular dental visits over time. If you\u2019re in or around Norwood, then you couldn\u2019t do any better with our office! We\u2019re located right in the heart of Norwood exactly between Westwood, Walpole, Canton, and Sharon.<\/p>\n

4. Office Hours<\/h2>\n

After finances, the biggest reason people give for missing out on dental visits is time. If you\u2019re a working parent juggling afterschool activities, it can be tough to find time to even make an appointment for you or your children, let alone actually go to it. We completely understand this at Norwood Dental Care, which is why we have flexible office hours<\/a> that allow you to make an appointment before or after work\/school. With us, you\u2019ll never have to miss anything important to take care of your teeth again.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, using these tips will make it much easier for you to find the right dentist for you and your family, and after that, we also hope that you\u2019ll choose us! Dr. Michaels and our team are dedicated to providing high-quality service and care for all families in Norwood and the surrounding communities, and we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll feel that from the moment you call in.
