It’s easy to find a dentist. A quick Google search, a Yelp review or two, and you’ll have a short list of possibilities. Finding a dentist you’re really happy with – that can be a lot harder. At Crabtree Dental in Katy TX, we’re proud to have lots of happy patients and positive online reviews.

Even so, knowing whether a dentist is right for you can be a little tricky. Are there certain traits should you look for? Do you choose the dentist nearest your home? By experience and education? Or maybe because a friend said the people at the practice are nice?

What To Look For

It may not be an exact science. But here are some of the things we think you should look for when trying to find a dentist:

• A Good Listener. Whether it’s a general dentist, a pediatric dentist, or some other specialty, a good dentist will listen to your concerns and address any issues you might raise.
• Good Manual Dexterity. Your mouth is a sensitive place. It’s also small, compared to the rest of your body. Certain dental procedures can be time-consuming and require a steady hand.
• Continuing Education. Dentistry is complex, and always changing. A good dentist is committed to staying on top of innovations and developments. A desire and willingness to improve is a trait to look for.
• Sharing Information. A good dentist is always ready to explain what’s going on with your dental health. Any issues you might have should be explained in plain English.
• Conservative. Not every smile needs to be corrected to meet an ideal; not every cavity needs to be filled right away. A good dentist will take a conservative approach to treatment, and always do what is best for you.

At Crabtree Dental in Katy TX, we want all our patients to be happy with our work, and strive for excellence in dentistry every day. Our services include general and family dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry. We would love to see you in our office for a cleaning and checkup soon!
