What are the Best Qualities to Look for in a Family Dentist?
You’re new in town and would love to find a Barrie family dentist. Someone who could care for the children and the adults in the household would make life a lot easier. The trick is finding the right dental professional out of the more than 2,000 dentists in the GTA for your family. Here are some tips that will help.
Training Now and Then
You certainly want a dentist who has all the proper training and credentials. While it’s great that the professional earned those credentials in the past, what has been going on lately? Is the dentist keeping up with the latest in techniques and treatment options?
It’s not enough to find a dental office in Barrie where the staff has the proper training. You also want professionals who consider ongoing education to be important. That quality will mean you and your family always have access to the latest innovations in the field of dentistry.
Practical Experience
A dental practice that has been around for a few years is a good choice. After having the opportunity to work with patients of varying ages, the dentist is more likely to know how to relate to everyone from your pre-schooler to your elderly parent who now lives with you. The ability to understand the dental needs of multiple generations and draw on experience to treat family members will ensure everyone gets the attention they need.
A Welcoming Setting
Another important quality that must be present is a strong emphasis on patient care and support. When you or a family member walk through the door, a receptionist who greets patients with a smile makes all the difference. Assistants and hygienists who also are courteous and professional go a long way to help the patient feel at ease. Add in a dentist who is able to relate to and talk easily with people of all ages and you have a winning combination.
Accommodating Multiple Appointments
One of the perks of working with a family dentist is the ability to schedule back to back appointments for more than one family member. Perhaps it’s time for one of the adults to have a teeth cleaning while one of the kids is in to have the braces checked and adjusted. Knowing that it’s possible to schedule back to back appointments makes it easier for you to get everyone to the dentist in one trip.
Payment Options
There will be times when some procedures will not be covered by insurance. If that happens, it’s nice to know the dental practice offers more than one payment solution. After checking out the other aspects of the practice, ask to talk with the office manager and find out what payment plans can be arranged if the need arises. Even if you never have to use one of them, it’s a comfort knowing they are available.
Finding the best dentist in Barrie doesn’t have to be difficult. Focus on a few important qualities and it won’t take long to identify the professional who is a perfect fit for the entire family.

Very clean, professional and helpful. 2 other dentists previously tried to fix my composite veneer and both times it look awful and/or was the wrong colour. One trip here and everything was fixed!
Very friendly, helpful staff. Makes you feel welcome as soon as you enter. I needed a tooth removed and got in the same day I called. When I arrived I didn’t have to wait. I have numerous problem with my teeth and they came up with a solution. Thank you all so much.
Just got home from the Smile Centre and I'm thrilled with my results. Had Zoom whitening, and it was better than I expected. The attendant took the time to explain everything super thoroughly. She warned I may have sensitivity but so far so good. I wish I did it ages ago.
The first thing I noticed upon entering the building was the beautiful design plan and lovely staff. I was greeted at the door and made comfortable throughout my entire experience. Everything was explained to me in detail and the staff always made sure I fully understood. This is an amazing office and I would 10/10 recommend it!!
