When you take the time to interview and get to know your dental team, you help to ensure that you end up working with a practice that truly fits your unique needs. Our Elmhurst dentists encourage patients to ask questions and learn more about dental treatment. Here are a few things you can discuss with your dental team:

Philosophic Focus 

Get to know your dental team by asking them how they would describe their practice in just a few sentences. Are they committed to offering comprehensive preventive and restorative care? Do they focus on aesthetics and cosmetic dentistry? There’s no need to settle for a dentist with whom you don’t share priorities. 

Top Technologies

Because the field of dentistry is constantly improving and evolving, new technologies make a huge difference to our patients and treatment outcomes. In our office, for example, we utilize state-of-the-art dental implants to replace teeth. We also offer innovative relaxation dentistry options to keep you comfortable in the dentist’s chair.

Scheduling Options

We are proud to offer our patients flexible scheduling options—we know how tough it can seem to make time for the dental care you need. We’re here to help you coordinate care for your whole family; talk to us about evening appointments!

Emergency Protocol 

If you are faced with dental trauma or an oral health emergency, it is critical that you are able to get the care you need in a timely manner. You can reach our emergency dentists by calling our regular office number. However, other practices may refer you out to an emergency dentist, or you may need to use a special phone number to reach their emergency team.

Don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions of your dental team. You can always reach our Elmhurst dentists by phone or by using the Contact Us page on our website!
