Challenges with Finding a New Dentist

Posted by admin on Mar 6, 2008

Finding a new dentist can be a challenge.  I know because I am in the process right now having moved to a different state recently.  I asked at a doctors office and found that one of the doctors had a brother who is a dentist.  Even better, they took my insurance.  The problem - distance.  Most of my work responsibilities are at least an hour away, and my home isn’t exactly around the corner.

Frustrated, I decided to ask some colleagues and found a qualified and highly recommended dentist near my office.  Good news, or so I thought.  I came to find out that they don’t take my insurance, which would cost me at least a few hundred dollars more since I need a crown with a buildup.

I am back to the drawing board on this one.  I imagine I could just check the insurance company’s website, but that doesn’t guarantee that I will find a good dentist.
