So, how can you find the best dentist in OKC? One way to find the best dentist in Oklahoma City is to find information on the 3 E’s.
1. Experience: Advances in Dentistry, Dentist Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with Expert Experience
Finding a dentist in OKC with the expert experience needed to give you the best dental result is extremely important. It takes years of experience after dental school to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to complete today’s advanced dental techniques in a timely and comfortable manner for patients. Dr. Corbyn Rhodes at Advances in Dentistry in Oklahoma City has over 28 years of experience in treating patients in the OKC area. As an example, Dr. Rhodes has treated thousands of patients with cosmetic dentistry over the years and he is able to make subtle changes that make major differences. He can customize a smile makeover to look natural and beautiful. Cosmetic dentistry is an art and you need a dentist with the experience and skills necessary to create a smile that looks natural for you. Just like choosing a surgeon, you want a dentist with the experience and knowledge who has done the procedures like dentures, implants, sedation dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign®, root canals, crowns and bridges thousands of times. Dr. Rhodes has been a leading dentist in Oklahoma City for the past 28 years. He was one of the first dentists in Oklahoma City to routinely place implants and also one of the first dentists to use implants to create a Snap-in-Denture. Dr. Rhodes has decades of experience straightening teeth with Invisalign and ClearCorrect. He was one of the first dentists in Oklahoma City to do Invisalign back in the early 2000s. Experience counts and it is the first E in finding the best dentist in OKC.
2. Education: Advances in Dentistry, OKC Dentist with Excellent Education
Did you know that the dental school requirements for graduation have dropped dramatically over the past decade? Over the years, dental schools have had a very hard time attracting patients for students to work on due to many people having dental insurance and the significant amount of time and hassle for patients to be treated at a dental school. Without having these live patients, dental schools had to drop the requirements for students to graduate. Many students can graduate by only completing one or two types of specific dental procedures on a live patient. Also, Covid-19 basically shut down live patient care at dental schools for a period of time, only making things worse for these dental students. Compare this to the requirements from dental students in the 1990s like Dr. Corbyn Rhodes of Advances in Dentistry and you will see a huge difference in the amount of experience required to graduate. Live patient care was a major requirement back then. In addition to graduating from dental school, dentists in Oklahoma have to complete continuing education requirements. That means on top of his college and dental school requirements Dr. Rhodes has also had over 28 years of continuing dental education experience. Dr. Rhodes has extensive training in all phases of dentistry including dental implants, teeth straightening with Invisalign and ClearCorrect, laser dentistry, dentures, cosmetic dentistry including veneers and Lumineers® and sedation dentistry. Dr. Rhodes is constantly studying all the latest advances in dentistry. Education counts and that is why it is the 2nd E in finding the best dentist in OKC.
3. Ego. Now hold on, you might say “EGO”? “Really?” Well, Really We Mean NO EGO!
Have you ever been to a doctor or dentist with a massive ego? You know you have to wait in the waiting room for what seems like an eternity and then the almighty Dr. comes in and out of the room so fast you didn’t have time to ask a question or God forbid if you did ask a question you were made to feel like an idiot for asking such a dumb question. Some doctors always seemed rushed and you leave with more questions than when you came in. Well, you will not find that with the dentists in OKC at Advances in Dentistry. Dr. Corbyn Rhodes and the other dentists welcome your questions and concerns and always want you to be informed and help you make the decisions that are right for you. We understand you have questions and concerns and we want to make sure we answer all your dental questions and concerns at your dental appointment. You are in control of your treatment at Advances in Dentistry. We will never dictate what you have to do. Our goal is to help advise you on the pros and cons of each type of treatment and let you determine which type of dental care would be best for you. For some patients that could mean dental implants, for others, it could mean a denture. We constantly hear new patients say “Wow, you are the first dentist to actually explain things to me.” We want to work with you to help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.
