Invisalign; choosing a dentist

invisalign-st-albans

Unsure of where to begin when looking for a dentist who can use Invisalign St. Albans? Let’s take a quick look at how you can shorten your search and start getting that smile you have always wanted sooner!

Reviews

A key thing to begin with when you are looking for a dentist who knows Invisalign St. Albans is the reviews.

Begin looking for dental surgeries near to you that can not only offer this service but have it mentioned in reviews. Were previous patients happy about the way their treatment with the surgery went? Did they achieve the desired results using Invisalign? And of course, was the dental team experienced?

At UK Dental Specialists, our team has consistently received high praise from our patients, both past and present. So, if you want a team that is well equipped to handle the treatment to realign your teeth, contact us.

Training

Not every dentist is trained to use Invisalign aligners, and you should always be wary of dentists who proclaim that using the aligners requires no additional training.

There are a lot of nuances to this technology, including the 3D scanner, the computer software and, of course, using the aligner in clinical practice. Ergo, any dentist who proclaims to be able to use the aligner should have the correct qualifications.

Once again, our team at the UK Dental Specialists have gained all of the required additional training and would be happy to show you the relevant certificates when you attend your initial consultation with us.

Experience

Qualifications relating to a procedure are all well and good, but what about the experience?

While it can be tempting (and sometimes more affordable) to approach a dentist who is new to using the technology, it is best to seek out someone who has the right level of experience to know the aligner that they are using and answer any queries that you may have concerning it.

How do you find such a dentist? Well, read reviews online, and when you meet with them, ask to see their portfolios. Any dentist who has used an invisible aligner in their practice should be more than happy to show you examples of their previous work with Invisalign St. Albans.

Meeting

Gut feelings are overlooked a lot these days, but when it comes to having your teeth realigned, you should aim to find a professional who has not only the desired experience and training but also a good relationship with you.

Therefore, it may be worth booking non-clinical meetings with all of the practising dentists on your list to see whether you get a good vibe off of them. Do they appear friendly and professional? Do they answer all of your questions without hesitation? Are they honest?

If the answer is yes to all of these, then it may be worth going forward with them for treatment.

At our surgery, we always aim to answer our patients’ questions quickly and efficiently, meaning that you can ask us anything about Invisalign aligners, and we will always know the answer!
