What Is a Dental Practice
There are several different types of dental practices, from small standalone dental offices to dental centers with multiple locations and anything in between. A dental office is a type of dental practice where one dentist offers their services. They may provide general dentistry or specialist services. It is typically best suited for patients who want a more personalized level of service and who feel most comfortable with one dentist at a time.
In contrast, a dental center hires multiple dental providers across several specialties, all under one roof. Dental centers typically appeal to patients looking for a potentially more convenient option. Since dental centers are staffed with several dentists, it is easy to coordinate care between specialists as necessary – potentially saving patients time and energy they may spend going from dentist to dentist.

Multi-Provider Dental Practices
In the past, most dental practices were staffed with only a single dentist and their team, such as their dental hygienist, dental assistant, among others. In recent years, however, many dental practices have taken on multiple dental providers across different specialties. This often allows for a more streamlined patient experience, saving time, energy, and sometimes even money that the patient may have spent going from office to office.
They also frequently make it easier for families to receive the care they need by way of having multiple specialists at the same practice. For example, a small child may be treated by a pediatrician while their teenage sibling is simultaneously getting treated by an orthodontist. Multi-provider dental practices also allow for a continuity of care across one's lifetime.

Choosing the Right Practice
Before selecting a new dental practice, patients should consider their needs and preferences. Many patients prefer to receive care from a certain gender. Others may want a dentist with several decades of experience. Make sure a prospective provider meets these needs.
With large practices, there is no guarantee that you will always see the same provider. Patients may be shuffled between each dentist at the practice. Some patients do not mind this arrangement, but for patients who prefer to work with a single provider, this might be a deal-breaker.
While making a choice, consider whether a family dental provider might come in handy. Patients with young children may want to choose a provider who treats pediatric concerns. Ask about orthodontic care and other specialized services, too. Not every provider is equipped to treat specialized dental concerns. But with a little research, patients may be able to arrange a "one-stop-shop" for their family dental needs. Choosing a centralized provider can save time and cut down on travel.

Dental Services to Look For
Most people will require several different dental services throughout their lifetime. Examples of various dental services include emergency dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic services, routine care and checkups, and more. Emergency dentistry can address accidents such as bitten tongue or lip, broken jaw, cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, and objects stuck in the mouth.
Cosmetic dentistry has to do with the aesthetic concerns of the smile. Such services may include dental bonding, bridges, crowns, implants, veneers, inlays and onlays, and teeth whitening. Finally, everyone requires routine checkups and cleanings at least once or twice a year. Once patients have determined which of these dental services they need, they can narrow down their search by what each dentist offers.

Using Online Tools to Research Providers
When choosing a new dentist, the Internet is a great resource. Search engines put information at patients' fingertips. Within minutes, patients can browse thousands of provider reviews, although not all information on the Internet is credible. Reputable sites such as the American Dental Association (ADA) contain valuable data. The ADA search tool offers information about a provider's credentials and qualifications. Your state dental board can help too by providing up-to-date information about licensure.
Popular review sites may not be equally trustworthy. Disgruntled patients may misunderstand their dentist or provide incomplete information about their experiences. Take patient reviews with a grain of salt. Always double check your findings with the provider. The office team can provide accurate information about insurance, available services, and payment policies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why do I need to make regular dental visits?
A. Regular dental visits are a necessary part of preventative dentistry in that they allow dentists to identify dental healthcare problems before they have the chance to worsen or occur.
Q. How can I tell when I am in a bad dental practice?
A. Bad dental offices tend to be generally unkempt in appearance and staffed by rude, impatient team members. They offer only a limited number of treatment options, and they are not receptive to questions. You should always feel safe and comfortable in a dentist's office – anything else should be taken as a warning sign.
Q. What are some questions I should ask a prospective dentist?
A. Your oral health is something to take seriously. As such, you should always feel welcome to address any questions and concerns with a prospective dentist. Be sure to ask each dentist where they were educated and trained, their approach to preventative dentistry, whether they offer any types of anesthesia, and any other questions that spring to mind.
Q. Can a dental practice take care of everyone in my family?
A. It depends on a case-by-case basis. While many general dentists can provide care for patients of all ages, some practices have age policies. Call us at (832) 361-3929 to see what we can do for you.
Q. Will I always see the same dentist?
A. If you choose to visit a single-provider dental office, yes, you will always see the same dentist. However, it may be more difficult to get appointments when you need them, as frequently as you need. If you choose to visit a multi-provider dental center, it may be easier for you to get more convenient appointments, but you may see several providers. You have to decide what is most important for you.
