how to pick a dentist

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.

Here’s how to pick a dentist:

Get Referrals and Recommendations
Make the most of your connections. Reach out to your physician, 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 in your area. The New Mexico 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 dentists in your area.

Once you’ve made your dentist shortlist, do some online and in-person research to find the best dental practice for you.
