Dr. Nancy Nehawandian of Top Down Dental in San Jose has been named one of America’s Best Dentists by the National Consumer Advisory Board (NCAB). It is hoped that this recognition will help patients understand the importance of choosing the best dentist for themselves.

What It Means to Be a “Best Dentist In San Jose”

Being named a “Best Dentist in San Jose” signifies that a dentist has been recognized for providing exceptional dental care services in San Jose, California. This title is usually awarded based on a number of factors such as patient reviews, clinical skills, years of experience, continuing education, and overall patient satisfaction.

To be considered a “Best Dentist in San Jose,” a dentist must meet the high standards of the dental profession, deliver quality care to their patients, and have a strong reputation in the community. Patients can trust that a dentist who has received this recognition has been evaluated and vetted by an independent organization or authority, and has been deemed as a top performer in their field.

Ultimately, being named a “Best Dentist in San Jose” is a testament to a dentist’s commitment to excellence and dedication to providing the highest level of dental care to their patients.

Dr. Nehawandian meets all these standards easily, especially the standards about experience (over 25) and education (about four times the requirement).

How to Find the Best Dentist for You

Awards are an important part of considering which is the right dentist for you. But they’re only a small part of the story. Here are a few more things you should consider.

Credentials

The amount of continuing education matters, but it also matters where they took their education and what the subjects were. You want a dentist who is well-trained in the areas you need procedures in. That will ensure that they’re up-to-date in the areas that will matter most for you.

Reviews

Good reviews are a great thing to see. But don’t think that it’s enough to see that a dentist has 4.5 stars out of five. Take some time and read the reviews. Make sure that the reviewers are giving a dentist good reviews for reasons that matter to you. It’s also worth noting that although there may be few bad reviews, they could be the most important ones–they might highlight the ways in which a dentist might just not be right for you.

Results

The best dentist for you is going to be one that gets the kind of results you desire. Look at a dentist’s before and after pictures. You can see many of them online, but if you talk to a dentist in person, ask to see some that aren’t online. This can allow you to see things like most recent work, or maybe their lower-quality work. Seeing some of the work a dentist is less happy with will tell you whether a dentist generally gets quality results or if they get them only rarely.

Personality

When you meet with a dentist, you should take the time to get to know them. And their staff. You want to know that this dental practice is one where you’ll feel comfortable and welcome. And that the dentist is someone you trust. If you can’t be honest with them about your goals and share some revealing aspects of your medical history, they’re not a good dentist for you.
