With nearly 200,000 dentists in the United States, you may not be sure how to pick a dentist. Don’t be overwhelmed—we have 3 resources to make your dentist decision easier.
Use these three resources to find your next dentist.
Here’s how to pick a dentist:
Get Referrals and Recommendations
Make the most of your connections. Reach out to your doctor, friends, family and coworkers for dentist recommendations. Relocating? Before you move, ask your current dental office for a recommendation.
Research Dental Societies
Seek advice from local dental societies. The Arizona Dental Association has a search tool to help you find an ADA member dentist.
Use our Dentist Search Tool
Seeing an in-network dentist will save you money. Use our dentist search tool to find a list of Delta Dental network dentists in your area.
Once you’ve made your dentist shortlist, do some online and in-person research to find the best practice for you.
We just moved to a new area and need to find a new dentist. Thank you for your suggestion about asking your current dental office for a recommendation. We only moved a few hours away so there’s a chance that this would work great for us.
