Welcome to Vancouver! Moving to a new city means finding fresh adventures, attractions, favourite restaurants, and health care providers for your family. Finding new doctors you trust can feel daunting, and today, we'd like to offer some helpful tips on how to find a new dentist in Vancouver, BC.
#1 Consult Friends and Neighbours for Recommendations
Talking with trusted friends and neighbours about their favourite healthcare providers can be helpful when looking for a new dentist.
#2 Read Online Reviews about Potential Providers
Browsing through online reviews about your prospective providers can help determine who's suitable for your family's needs. Be sure to check reputable sources like Google and Yelp for various reviews since website reviews may be biased.
#3 Book a Consultation with Your Prospective Provider
If you're considering treatment, such as cosmetic dentistry or tooth replacement, booking an evaluation with your prospective dentist will give you time and space to discuss those options and their treatment philosophies. Be sure to come armed with all your important questions and ask to see before-and-after pictures of your potential provider's current patients so you can determine if their skill level suits your needs.
