What Are The Top 5 Things I Should I Look For In A Dentist?

As one of the most respected dentists in the area, Dr. Greg McElroy and Dr. Constantine Reppas recommends reviewing the following criteria before making a final decision on who you’ll choose:

#1 – Professional Qualifications – Be sure to check out where your dentist when to college and how long they’ve been practicing. Dr. McElroy is a proud graduate of the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and has decades of experience in every aspect of dentistry. Dr. Reppas attended from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine and is an active member of several professional societies, including the American Dental Association. There’s no doubt about it – out team is qualified, experienced, and highly educated.

#2 – Services Available – Make sure your dentist offers comprehensive care. Although it seems obvious, not every provider offers the full range of procedures, so take the time to double check. We provide everything from preventive care to cosmetic dentistry and restorative procedures. And, we enjoy treating patients of all ages so we’ll be happy to take care of your entire family.

#3 – Photo Galleries – What better way to verify the credibility of your potential dentist than by actually seeing the results for yourself? Any respectable dentist should have a gallery of pictures to allow you to see the quality of their work. For example, on our site, you can view our Smile Gallery to take a look at our amazing results.

#4 – Online Reviews – What better way to get the real picture of your dentist than to read the stories of other patients? Always check out online reviews and ratings to see what other people just like you have experienced when working with the prospective provider. If you search for McElroy Smiles By Design, you’ll be impressed by our 5/5 star rating on 1-800-Dentist.com and our 4.9/5 star rating on Google.

#5 – Community Involvement – Social responsibility and giving back to one’s community is a vital part of dentist’s criteria, since it reflects a compassionate nature and desire to make positive change in the world. Our team has volunteered hours of free dental care for many organizations, including our veterans via the Wounded Warrior Project. And, we give back by offering our Dentistry From The Heart Campaign, a free day of dental services for anyone in Encinitas who needs oral healthcare. And, we strive to make dental care affordable for every patient with our specials, membership program, and financing for low monthly payments.
