Whether you’ve just relocated your family for a new job or better opportunity, there are lots of things that you need to consider. Preparing your life away from home can be daunting, but your family’s healthcare should be one of the main priorities. One task that you cannot let fall between the cracks is finding a great dentist that has the experience, services, and location that you need. The worst scenario to be in is a dental emergency without a supportive office behind you. But wait! Before you choose a family dentist in Fort Worth on a whimsical google search, the office of Renee Corbitt, DDS wants you to ask yourself these quick questions.
How much experience does my dentist have?
You should always take the time to review your potential dentist’s website. Interesting information about your dentist will be posted including their educational background and practice timeline within the field. Of course, you and your family will feel more comfortable in the hands of a professional that has had extensive experience. For instance, Dr. Corbitt has had her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree since 1986 and has been continuing her education even to this day. A list of the programs she has partaken in is listed on her website, exemplifying her extensive education (500+ hours) in sleep medicine! Our dentist knows that the more she learns the better she can serve her patients.
What kind of memberships/affiliations does my dentist hold?
One of the best memberships to look for is a dentist that is associated with the American Dental Association (ADA). It is also wise to look at your state board for dental health to see if your family dentist in 76132 meets your state standards. Dr. Corbitt has been an active member of the dental community for years now and holds memberships in 8 dental societies including the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, the American Academy of Orofacial Pain, and the International Headache Society. By staying up to date with her memberships, she is telling her patients that she truly cares about their well-being and puts her best foot forward to provide great dental care.
Which services are offered at my dental office?
You can truly tell when a great comprehensive family dentist is invested in providing you the best care. When you visit their website, you should be able to view a list of services that all kinds of patients need. Your dentist should be concerned for your overall health, not just your oral health and only recommend treatments and services that you need to maintain good health. Our office offers services in preventive dentistry for every member of your family from age 1 to surpassing 92. We want to work with you to prevent health problems in the future. We also offer restorative and cosmetic services to patient’s that wish to fix their smiles. And, a great dentist always has a specialty area that they are passionate about. Dr. Corbitt loves putting her extensive education to use for patients that have sleeping disorders.
Is my dentist close enough to me?
In the case of a dental emergency, it’s important to have a dentist near you (we also have emergency contact information available on our contact page). Be sure to consider the office hours and if your day to day schedule meshes well with theirs. Our office is open as early as 7 am certain days throughout the week so that our patients can schedule appointments early before work. We are conveniently located near S. Hulen Street and Overton Ridge Boulevard. Call today to schedule your first appointment with your new dentist!
