At Pensacola Family Dental, we’ve seen thousands of patients through the years and know what factors are important when choosing the right dentist for you. From the quality of the equipment to the doctor’s credentials down to the smallest details of the office environment, it all plays a role in finding a dental practice you can trust. Here are the top 5 things that set us apart from other dentists.
You want to choose a dentistry team that truly cares, a team who is accessible and responds to your needs, who check in on you after a procedure to make sure everything is going as planned, even after the office doors have closed for the evening. The dedicated staff at Pensacola Family Dental lives the golden rule every day. We treat patients exactly as we’d treat our own family member and how we’d hope to be treated if the roles were reversed and we were the ones sitting in the dentist’s chair. We do it because we care!
When was the last time your doctor gave you his cell phone number? We’re willing to bet it wasn’t recently. Do you have the personal email address of your dental hygienist? If you’re not visiting Pensacola Family Dental, it’s not likely. When choosing a dentist, you want someone you can reach in an emergency; a team that’s available and accommodating when you have follow-up questions, even when it’s after 5:00 or on a weekend. The team at Pensacola Family Dental offers unmatched accessibility, and not just when we’re on the clock. It’s what sets us apart from the rest.
Ever wonder why you see the same pictures on a lot of dental websites? Oftentimes, the “before and after” photos on a practice’s website are actually stock images purchased from a photo service. Deceptive, right? And the average customer has no way of knowing otherwise. When inquiring about a dental procedure, make it a point to ask if the photos shown are the actual work of the dentist you’ll be seeing. It’s a great idea to ask for snapshots that are specific to the procedure you’ll be having done. Each and every clinical photo seen on our website is one of our actual patients showing off the million-dollar smile achieved right here at Pensacola Family Dental. If you don’t see photos of a procedure you’re looking for, please ask. We’ll be glad to show you legitimate examples of our expert work.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. If that’s true, then the mouth is the front door. Our mouths are a gateway for illness, affecting the wellness of our entire body. Dental bacteria has been shown to play a contributing role in many serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and even Alzheimer’s. The Surgeon General reports that 80% of American adults have gum disease. That’s four out of every five people! It’s because of this direct link between the wellness of the mouth and the wellness of the body that high-quality dental care is so crucial.
At Pensacola Family Dental we take a comprehensive approach to dentistry, building a healthy body from the foundation of a healthy mouth; a true focus on total health. Healthy gums lower our risk for developing diabetes, pancreatic cancer and kidney cancer, while gum therapy improves blood vessel health and helps prevent heart attack and stroke. This is because the same plaque that builds up on our teeth can build up in our arteries and heart, creating blockages. Proper dental care calls for a visit to the dentist twice a year. This is likely more often than you see any other physician, especially if you’re generally in good health.
Complete health dentistry means your dentist can spot warning signs and even diagnose dangerous health conditions while you’re in the chair, sometimes when you’re completely unaware there’s a problem.
Your time is important, plain and simple but when it comes to the medical industry, adhering to a schedule seems to go out the window. We’ve grown so accustomed to waiting an hour or more in the doctor’s office that we take it as the norm. It doesn’t have to be that way. When you have an appointment with your dentist, the team should be ready and waiting for your visit, not the other way around. The waiting room of Pensacola Family Dental is usually empty, and for good reason. We see our patient within minutes of arrival in most cases. If not, we consider ourselves late and do everything we can do to get back on schedule. Time is money, we won’t waste yours.
