Confessions of a Dental Assistant...6 tips on how to choose your dentist!

Confessions of a Dental Assistant...6 tips on how to choose your dentist! 

1. Ask co-workers or family members! The best way to find a dentist is to ask people you know and trust about their personal experience with their Dentist.
Here at Agoura Dental we have build a successful practice based in patient referrals and are proud to say that our patients love us.

2. It is important that you ask which university the Doctor graduated from and how updated he is with his continuing education. After working for many years in this field, I can definitely tell how skilled the Doctor is just by knowing which University he graduated from.
Dr. Choroomi received his Doctorate  of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific which is rated 2nd best dental school in the nation. UOP dental schools graduates are very well known for their outstanding Cosmetic and Restorative dentistry results. Dr. Choroomi loves his profession and deeply cares about his patients.

3. Make sure your new dentist is local, ether close to your home or work . It is more likely you skip hygiene visits and periodic examination if you have to travel too far to see your dentist .
Here at Agoura Dental, we offer two convenient locations, one in Agoura Hills and one in Canoga Park where Dr. Choroomi sees all of his patients personally .

4. How updated is the practice equipment? Dentist , just like many other healthcare professionals rely on equipment to be able to provide their patients with dental care. It's very important that the doctor chooses to update his dental equipment,  so that his patients can benefit from the latest in dental science .
Here at Agoura Dental our Practice offers the latest in dental care. Our digital x-ray allows the doctor to make better diagnostics about his patient dental health and our state of the art sterilization and equipment help him perform his best.

5. The doctors final work is only as good as the lab and materials he uses!!! This is a very important point! Most procedures in dentistry require to be send to an outside lab. For example to create crowns, bridges, inlay, inlays, veneers, dentures and the list goes on. If the procedure can be done at the practice, it requires special materials. It is very important that you ask your dentist, which lab and what type of materials he uses for his work. If the doctor chooses to safe on materials and the quality of lab he uses, this will effect the long term outcome of his work.
Here at Agoura Dental , Dr. Choroomi is very strict about using only the highest quality of materials and one of the best rated laboratories in Southern California . Dr. Choroomi also has a very holistic approach on dentistry and uses only the most safest material for his patients. We also are equipped to perform safe amalgam removal and holistic dentistry. As a proud Agoura Hills resident, It is very important to him to provide his patients with long lasting dental care!

6. How much does the doctor and staff really care about their patients health and financial situation?
Here at Agoura Dental we truly care about our patients. The Doctor has a very preventative approach to dentistry , which in average safes our patients expansive restorative treatments. Our front office staff is always working hard to make it financially possible for every patient to take care of their dental health no matter their budget . We can proudly say we do our best to provide quality dental care at affordable fees. Last but not least our dental assistants, including myself do our best to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Come in and meet us for yourself....
