Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Hello!Our office uses digital x-ray imaging. We will be happy to see you.As long as you have copies of your recent (within 1 year) x-rays - we do not need to make them again at this time. X-ray imaging is very valuable and important tool for diagnisis. They are done periodically (routinly) to catch decay or periodontal disease in early stages to treat them effectively. We can decide together "how often" is acceptable to you, providing it will not compromise our treatment objectives and your health.Give us a call, we will be happy to see you!Best wishes! Dr. Val.

Hello,I am very conservative in taking x-rays. As with yourself I don''''''''t like to mandate having routine radiographs and have limited amounts taken only when necessary.I have the latest equipment in digital radiography in my office which I had installed only a few weeks ago as a replacement to an older version.Hope this helps,Farad Bell - General Dentist822A NE Northgate WaySeattle,, WAPhone: 206-462-6255Email: fbell123@comcast.net
