Dentistry can be quite complex, especially if you have not been to the dentist in a long time. At Atrium Family
Dental of New Lenox, we work to make the process not just simple and easy to understand, but relaxing and enjoyable from
start-to-finish! Below, you can read a few of the most common questions we’ve heard from patients over the
years. If you have other concerns that aren’t addressed, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
What is the best way to find a dentist who does dental implants?
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are the best way to go for longevity and
functionality. However, you should still do your research when looking for an implant dentist. Keep in mind
that dental implant treatment requires two major phases: placement and restoration. Not all dentists perform
both under one roof, which could influence your decision. At Atrium Family Dental of New Lenox, our office
keeps the
entire dental implant process in-house.
How can I find a female dentist?
Currently, about 1/3 of dentists in the United States are female, with more than 50% of all current dental
school students being female as well. As a result, finding a female dentist is easier today than ever
before. While Google is certainly a good place to start when looking for a top-rated female dentist,
you’ll find that 2 out of 3 dentists at Atrium Family Dental of New Lenox are women, making your
search that much
easier. Dr. Snow and Dr. Feller are happy to discuss your needs directly, create a comprehensive treatment
plan, and walk you through every step of the process to ensure you feel comfortable.
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
Dentistry is about prevention first because it’s much easier to avoid dental problems now rather than
treat dental problems that develop later. Preventive care is significantly more affordable than restorative
or emergency dental services, so it’s worth investing in to protect your oral health in the long-term.
While dental insurance is an effective tool for making dental insurance affordable (and we are in-network
with many major PPOs), we also offer an in-house membership savings plan called the
Smile Savers Club.
This allows you to access guaranteed services as well as special in-house discounts by paying a monthly fee.
What is the best way to find a cosmetic dentist?
Since there is no single designation for what qualifies a dental professional as a cosmetic dentist,
you’ll want to look for certain attributes in their skillset and credentials. At Atrium Family Dental
of New Lenox,
we offer a wide variety of cosmetic treatments to address many different types of imperfections in teeth.
All our dentists complete one-on-one consultations with you regarding your cosmetic dental needs and hold
years of proven cosmetic expertise and advanced training in the field. A look through our practice’s
smile gallery
is a great way to learn what your smile could look like after treatment.
