Whether you are new in the city or just ready for change, choosing a new dentist is an important process. The decisions you make will have an impact on your health and your family, your smile appearance, and the investment needed to keep everyone healthy.

Finding the right dentists in Bella Vista & Norwest also requires some personal preferences with consideration such as location, staff personality, timeliness, and their approach to overall dental care. Even though this is more emotional consideration, don't consider it lightly. Imagine getting your six-year-old child to visit a dentist that terrifies him, or missing an important meeting because your dental appointment began late and ran long.

Knowing what an important decision this is, where should you start?

1. Go online and visit dentists' listings. Enter the state and city where you live. The results will give you a list of dentists in your city that have been chosen by other dentists as the best in your area. You can't ask for a better reference than that.

2. You can also check with the National Dental Association. This list will not help you narrow your search, but it will give you an idea of the options in your area. 

3. Finally, you can explore the internet to find many choices. I would recommend starting by entering your city followed by "dentistry" or "dentist". The biggest benefit of searching this way is that a website can share a lot of information about education and dentist specialization that you will not find in the standard business list or yellow page ad.
