How To Use Yelp To Choose a Dentist for a Dental Implant Procedure

Dealing with the possibility of needing a dental implant can be overwhelming. Equally overwhelming is the search for a dentist that you feel is trustworthy, dependable and offers exactly what is needed. Fortunately, tools like Yelp exist to help anyone find medical professionals in dentistry.

Using Yelp to choose a dentist for a dental implant

Yelp allows patients to share reviews, spread good news and give warnings where necessary. The following is a guide on how to make good use of Yelp to choose a quality dentist.

Start the search

When starting the search for a dentist that provides dental implant services, it is important to know what to look for. Simply searching for dentists in the local area may be casting the net too widely, as any given area can have numerous dental businesses.

Instead, try a more specific term like “dental implants.” It is also important to make sure the “near” section in the search bar is set to local areas. Doing this should bring up a list of dental offices that provide implant procedures.

It should be noted that sponsored results show up first and are clearly marked. The rest of the natural results follow shortly after.

Make a list of businesses

If the number of nearby dentists is overwhelmingly high, it might be a good idea to write out a list of businesses. This list can be created based on the following:

  • The office’s proximity
  • User ratings
  • Pricing and insurance
  • Dentist availability

In order to keep the list manageable, it is suggested for users to select between five and 10 businesses to look into more closely.

Check out the reviews

This is considered by many to be one of the most useful features of Yelp. Anyone with an account can leave reviews detailing personal experiences at any establishment or with any professional figure, including dentists, dental offices and dental implant procedures.

Reviews can easily be read simply by clicking on the business in question and scrolling down the page. A search bar allows users to look for specific terms or words within the reviews.

Additionally, reviews can be sorted in many different ways. They can be organized by newest first, oldest first, highest or lowest rated and elite reviewers only. This allows users to quickly find what they deem most important.

Examine reviewer history

Of course, as a site that depends on user input for reviews, there are some flaws inherent in the system. Users are encouraged to take reviews with a grain of salt. If there is one bad review in a sea of good ones, it might be beneficial to check out that reviewer’s history and see if they have poor reviewing etiquette.

On the other hand, if there are many bad reviews and the reviewers generally complain about the same things, chances are a user may run into the same issues.

Make a choice

After narrowing down business options, carefully reading through reviews and determining which reviews hold worth, it is time to make an informed decision on which dentist to go with. Users can feel more confident in the choice with the backing of numerous Yelp reviewers to go off of.

Conclusion

The best part about using Yelp to find a dentist who does dental implant procedures is that it is possible to leave reviews afterward. In this way, users can help contribute to the cycle of reviewers aiding new customers in finding exactly what they are looking for.
