If you look at Yellow Page directories in the phone book or online, it’s obvious that there are plenty of dentists in every city. So what’s the best way to go about finding a dentist that is right for you? The following are some general rules to follow:
1. Get referrals from friends, family members and neighbors. When you meet the dentist, ask him/her for additional referrals from satisfied customers.
2. Check out the credentials and specialties of the dentist. If they don’t have a website, call their office and ask them to send you information.
3. Make sure your dentist takes ongoing educational courses and their office has the latest in technology.
4. Find a dentist that can do a variety of procedures in their office. This way you don’t have to get shuffled from one office to another.
5. Take advantage of free consultations. This is how you can learn their style of dentistry and their chair-side manners.
6. On your first visit, look for cleanliness in the office and at the chair. Also, make sure that the dentist and his/her assistants care about sanitation and that they sterilize their equipment.
7. Check the support staff and dental assistants to see if they are focused on client care and if they provide a comfortable atmosphere. It’s the entire dental team that matters.

What are Porcelain Veneers?
Many people think that porcelain veneers are for the wealthy and for actors, dignitaries and high level executives. However, porcelain veneers are becoming more affordable and more popular for the average American citizen.
Porcelain veneers are not necessary in terms of medical or dental care, but they do improve a person’s smile. As a result of such aesthetic improvements, porcelain veneers often enhance self esteem, and in many cases, give people the added confidence necessary for increased success.
Those who choose a smile makeover using porcelain veneers often have chipped, stained, crooked or gapped teeth. They want a quick and safe way to achieve a beautiful and natural-looking smile. With porcelain veneers, teeth can appear more perfectly aligned – without spending a lot of time with braces that actually move the teeth to preferred positions.
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded on to the sides of teeth. Although porcelain is inherently brittle, it becomes strong and durable when bonded to a sturdy substance such as a tooth. Porcelain veneers are glass-like and translucent, so they closely mimic the characteristics of dental enamel. Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains and can last up to 50 years. Those who get them brush and floss them like they do their natural teeth.
Here’s how they are made: Impressions of teeth are taken in order to individually fabricate the porcelain veneers for each tooth. They are attached – or bonded – to natural teeth using a strong adhesive. The process takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the dentist.
