What Matters Most When Choosing A Dentist?

    DANBURY, CT, February 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Do you live within 20 miles of your dentist's office? Most people do according to online research and a recent study conducted by Dental Associates of Connecticut.

What factors are important to people looking for a new dentist? Insurance compatibility ranks second to location for most people followed quickly by: the ability to get convenient appointments during the evening and on weekends, the level of dental experience, doctor's personality, cleanliness of facilities, and use of the latest technologies.

With the stakes high for acquiring and keeping new patients, dental offices everywhere are pulling out all the stops to attract new business. Bright, modern dental facilities featuring designer colors and materials are a sharp contrast to the old "fish tank in the waiting area" offices of yesterday.

Use of the latest technologies such as digital tooth imaging adds an option to the old method of biting into clay-like material to acquire dental impressions for braces and other orthodontic appliances.

Expanding hours of operation to better fit patients' hectic schedules is another way dental practices are attracting new patients. Dr. Erol Gund, Orthodontist at Dental Associates of Connecticut's Danbury office explains it best, "We try to accommodate our patient's scheduling needs in any way possible. If that means we need to meet them at the office over the weekend or later in the evening after work, then that's what we'll do. We try to make getting proper dental care as easy as possible. In the end, everybody wins."

If you're in the market for a new dentist don't be afraid to ask questions about the things that are important to you. It's always a good idea to visit the office and see how clean and well organized everything is. If possible, speak to a dentist personally to help get a feel for the office's "personality".
