Finding the right dentist for you and your family in Lombard, IL takes careful thought and consideration. Developing a long-term relationship with your dentist is one of the best ways to stay ahead of gum disease, tooth decay, and other problems. As you begin searching online for the best fit for your family, we encourage you to keep these proven tips in mind.
Number and Types of Procedures Performed
Not all general dentists offer the same procedures. Some oral health professionals focus on cosmetic procedures while others may prefer placing restorations on older patients. Dr. Julie Glud offers a wide range of restorative and cosmetic procedures that include:
- Preventative treatments
- Children’s dentistry
- Cosmetic dentistry
- Periodontics
- Invisalign
There are several advantages to working with an experienced dentist who offers a wide range of services. For one, having a one-stop-shop for all of your dental needs saves you from having to visit multiple dentists. Wouldn’t you rather just have one trusted dentist who understands your personal and oral health needs? Working with a dentist who understands various facets of dental care shows that your dentist is highly trained and experience.
Customer Reviews
Facebook and Google reviews are a great way to read objective statements from former patients. At Dental Care of Lombard, we are proud to have five-star ratings on all 81 of our Google reviews. Here’s our most recent review:
“From the second I sent an inquiry about an appointment, this was a pleasant experience. Every single member of the staff was amazing, super friendly and just an all-around pleasure!”
Family Dentistry
Providing services to children of all ages is our joy and passion. Not every dentist accepts children and teenagers. If you have children, search for terms like “family dentist” and “children’s dentistry.” Our Lombard dental practice proudly works with little ones. We offer cleanings, exams, fluoride varnish, sealants, and silver diamide fluoride.
Dental Care Philosophy
Most dental practices share what their core values are on their website. Patients should read these messages to see if a prospective dental practice is a good fit. Our dental practice “is committed to providing excellent dentistry in a comfortable, soothing environment. We welcome new patients of all ages to feel at home in our beautiful office. Our skilled, experienced dental team can help ensure great oral health for you and your family. Experience what our patient-centered care can do for you.”
Education and Experience
Last but not least, education and experience matter. There is nothing wrong with working with a dentist who just graduated from dental school, but there are clear advantages to working with a dentist who has 5, 10, or more years under his or her belt.
Dr. Glud received her undergraduate degree from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana.
