Lexington Dental Team Offers Advice for Choosing the Best Dentist

Lexington, KY – Selecting the right dentist is an important decision for maintaining optimal oral health and achieving a confident smile. That said, with many options available, finding a dental professional who meets the needs and preferences of individuals or their families requires some thoughtful research.

Below, the team at Hamburg Expressions—a full-service dental clinic in Lexington, KY—offers advice for choosing the best dentist, including factors to consider when selecting a provider:

Qualifications and Expertise: One of the first things to check when searching for a dentist is their credentials and experience, notes Dr. Jenny Miller, an experienced and decorated Lexington dentist. She recommends looking into a provider’s educational background to ensure they studied at an accredited institution. A highly qualified dental professional may also have pursued additional education in specialized areas, such as cosmetic dentistry or implant dentistry. Additionally, Dr. Miller recommends evaluating a dentist’s professional affiliations. For instance, a top-quality cosmetic dentist may be a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).

Range of Services Offered: Choosing a practice that provides a broad range of services is essential, especially if the goal is to have a single dental home for all needs. A comprehensive practice should offer routine care, such as cleanings and fillings, as well as more specialized treatments, including cosmetic enhancements or complex restorations. This ensures a convenient experience and consistent quality of care. Dr. Emily Williams, a family dentist in Lexington, also notes the importance of choosing a dentist who is able to set patients at ease—especially young children 12 years of age and older or those with significant dental anxiety.

Evaluate Technology and Facilities: Modern dental care has benefited greatly from advancements in technology. Practices equipped with the latest tools and materials can provide more efficient, comfortable, and precise treatments. An on-site lab, for example, can streamline the creation of custom restorations, improving turnaround time and the final outcome. At Hamburg Expressions, the on-site dental lab is run by Neil Miller, a Certified Master Technician, who creates crowns, dental veneers, bridges, and more in collaboration with Dr. Miller and Dr. Williams.

Reviews and Patient Testimonials: Patient reviews can provide valuable insights into the quality of care a dentist provides, notes Dr. Miller. Look for feedback that speaks to the professionalism, skill, and approachability of the staff. Consistent positive comments about results, treatment experiences, and the overall atmosphere of the office can be indicators of a trustworthy practice.

Approach to Personalized Care: Dr. Williams emphasizes that each patient’s dental needs and preferences are unique, and a good dentist should be willing to customize their approach accordingly. Practices that emphasize individualized treatment plans, take time to discuss options, and prioritize patient comfort often stand out as the best choices for long-term care.

Ultimately, the Hamburg Expressions team believes that the decision should come down to finding a practice that feels like the right fit. An office that aligns with personal values, is conveniently located, offers the needed services, and has a reputation for excellence can all help ensure a positive experience.

Taking time to research, ask questions, and consider these factors will help make the process of choosing a dentist easier and more rewarding.
