Why Choose a Private Dental Practice vs. Corporate Owned
There are substantial reasons why you should look closely at a private dental practice before assuming that the corporate choices are the better alternative for your dental care:
Connection With The Community: A dentist who operates a private dental practice has roots in the community and established dental facilities that cater to a positive patient experience. Large dental clinics are designed to get you the assistance you need and then move on to the next person in line, which causes the dentist-patient relationship to be less personable. A private practice might be thought of as a helpful neighbor down the street. At DeSenze Dentistry, we have regular patients who we see consistently to address their general dentistry needs.
Understanding The Dental History Of The Patient: Dentists who operate local practices develop established relationships with their patients and come to know them on a first-name basis. At DeSenze Dentistry, we can easily recall the last time the patient had a teeth cleaning, or if there is some type of dental issue that seems to be recurring in the family. One of the greatest positive aspects of a privately-operated dental practice, is the high level of personalized care available to patients and their families.
Time Enough For Patients: At DeSenze Dentistry, we are not focused in seeing how many patients can be crammed into each business day. The focus is on making sure each patient receives the attention that they deserve. If you have questions about things like choosing a toothpaste or what sort of bristles would clean your teeth better, your dentist will be happy to take the time and go over those concerns with you. The same cannot be said for a corporate practice, where getting people in and out as quickly as possible is a top priority. Instead of vested partners and committed practitioners, dentists working for corporate dental organizations (again, keep in mind that these dentists are often seen as employees) must fulfill certain obligations, in terms of hours logged, procedures performed, hours fulfilled
Help In Emergencies: The fact that DeSenze Detistry is local also means getting help faster in an emergency situation. If you should damage a couple of teeth during a fall, or your dental crown becomes dislodged, Dr. DeSenze will meet you at the office, assess the damage, and decide what needs to be done to secure the teeth properly. A corporation might be more likely to recommend that you take it easy and come in Monday morning when the office is open. However, when it’s a dental emergency, sometimes that might just be too late.
Dentists In Corporate Dentistry Often Lack Substantial Experience: Dentists in these corporate dental chains are often hired right out of dental school, bringing with them no real-world experience. These young dentists mean well, but they lack the insights and experience that comes with day-to-day work with new patients, as well as those they have gotten to know for years. While a fledgling dentist in an individual private practice will have a learning curve, he or she can still consult with trusted and valued colleagues. At DeSenze Dentistry, we simply have more freedom, ability and confidence to tend to our patients’ needs in an effective, meaningful and caring way.
So how can you decide which form of dental care is the right choice for you? There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The ultimate deciding factor, after considering all options, should be what is best for you and your family. Regardless of your choice, at DeSenze Dentistry, the welfare of our patients is always our top priority!
