How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?

You should plan to call instead of trying to email the dentist when needing a same-day appointment. Speaking to someone directly will lead to better results than waiting for someone to respond to a message. When talking to a staff member, they will be able to determine the severity of the problem you’re experiencing.

Generally, same-day appointments are those that require timelier care. Dental emergencies can be scheduled after hours or on the weekends at Aesthetic Dental Arts, if necessary. This prevents you from having to wait to receive the urgent care you need.

With a same-day appointment, our goal is to assess the problem, get rid of any pain you’re experiencing, and create a treatment plan.

How do I find the best place to get dental work done?

You must first identify what is most important to you. Is it finding an in-network dentist who works with your dental insurance? Is it looking at the location and its proximity to your home or work? Is it a dentist’s credentials that matter most? It may be a combination of all these things, but you might also begin to ask yourself:

• Do I want someone who will see my whole family?
• Do I want someone who offers specialty services in addition to general care?
• Do I want someone compassionate and caring or more straight to the point?

Creating a list of your “must-haves” versus those you are willing to compromise on can help. It might also be helpful to read patient reviews and bios about the dentist and team on their website. However, the biggest determining factor might be finding out what kind of vibe they give off when you arrive. So, once you’ve found a dentist you want to try, call to schedule an appointment and find out if they’re right for you.

What level of education is required to be a dentist?

To become a dentist in the United States, you must first complete a bachelor’s degree. Majoring in a field that includes a heavy focus on science and math is important, as this will be beneficial when entering dental school. After earning your undergraduate degree, you’ll apply to one of the 67 accredited dental schools in the U.S. to work toward a DDS or DMD.

Most dental schools are three years and include time spent learning in the classroom as well as receiving hands-on instruction.

After earning a DMD or DDS degree, you have the option to pursue general dentistry and begin practicing or continue your education in a specialty field. The American Dental Association (ADA) recognizes 12 different specializations for dentists to choose from, some of which include pedodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, etc. These typically require an additional three years of training.

Once you begin practicing, you will be required to complete a designated number of continuing education hours each year to maintain your license.
