Everyone in London is out to get your money; from shops to restaurants, businesses are competing to get you through their door and get you to spend your hard earned cash with them. For dentists, it’s no different. Great leaps in technology has made it easier for them to offer you all the latest treatments to keep your teeth healthy and looking fabulous. But before you jump onto this exciting bandwagon of all of the things that you may have seen in the media, you would be well wise to take stock of your personal requirements, and if you have one, your family’s too. First is to find a dentist that can offer you the type of treatments you need, and that you may require in the future. Have a consultation with the dentist and try to get some sort of rapport going, look around the surgery- is it modern and is it set up for modern treatments and techniques? There are some very modern treatments that can help get your mouth into shape quickly after the basic check-ups and procedures, from cosmetic whitening, veneers and bonding, to teeth replacement and implants. Choosing one that friends or work colleagues use is also a good way of gauging a dentist. Family requirements alter this search as well; your children may require complex teeth aligning in the future that will involve a lot of dental visits, so having a good dentist close to home could save on travelling costs. NHS treatments and general dental costs need to be addressed too; most dentists can set you up with dental insurance to help you spread the payments. Most importantly, you need to trust the dentist that is going to work on you and if you are not happy at any point, go elsewhere.
