4 The Top 10 Things to Know Before Choosing Your 1 Do They Have Extensive Experience? a variety of treatments instead of simply the same one over and over. You should also 2001 through a wide variety of dental treatments that range from regular dental cleanings and more. I believe in the importance of staying current with the techniques and that I received while pursuing my dental and specialist degrees. This extensive

5 2 Is Their Dental Practice State of the Art? ry today differs a great deal from years past. Advances in technology have made it possible to provide faster, more effective, and more comfortable treatment options. Unfortunately, some dentists choose not to keep up with modern advancements and still offer antiquated treatment options. There is no good reason for you to be treated with outdated procedures or technologies. Avoid this pitfall by asking your dental office what steps they take to stay up to date. At Dente Complete ry, we offer the very best, innovative treatment options, including the itero Element Intraoral Scanner, Dexis Digital X-ray & Dental Imaging System, and Velscope Technology for oral cancer screening, to name a few. By staying educated on advancements in the field, our dental team also stays current on potential new technologies that may benefit our patients. You can count on us to do what it takes to provide you the best dental care available today! 5

6 3 Will They Take Your Dental Anxiety Seriously? For some people, a visit to the dentist s office can be stressful. To avoid feeling anxious during your dental appointment, consider whether your potential dental office goes the extra step to provide 5-star customer service. Is the waiting room comfortable? Does the front desk staff smile and greet you when you walk through the door? Do they make you feel cared about? Does the dental office take any additional steps or offer any other services to improve your overall experience? At Dente Complete ry, you will feel at ease the moment you walk through our door. You will be greeted by our cheerful team and experience our warm and inviting patient lounge. Our team also seeks to offer comfortable solutions for all your dental needs, whether you are being seen for a routine cleaning or a more involved treatment. Our consultative approach helps to ensure that you always feel confident about your treatment plan, and our anxiety-free dentistry options can help you relax and enjoy your time with us. In short, at Dente Complete ry, you are our number-one priority! When you come in for your new patient appointment, Dr. Couret will discuss all your options with you, including our anxiety-free dentistry process, and answer any questions you may have. 6

7 4 Do They Offer New Patient Specials? Your first visit to a new dentist can be a costly experience. To create a comprehensive customized treatment plan, your dentist needs to do a complete exam, including x-rays and a thorough discussion of everything from treatment options to an estimation of how long treatment will last. This is also your chance to ask questions, lay out all your concerns, and get educated on the decision that will impact your health. At Dente Complete ry, we offer a Risk-Free Smile of Your Dreams Planning Session at the special price of $99. Your appointment will include: Comprehensive exam Digital x-rays Oral cancer detection itero scan Oral photography Gum assessment TMJ analysis Cosmetic evaluation Sonicare toothbrush ($100 value) Free copy of Dr. Couret s book, The Ultimate Dental Experience The best part? This session is completely risk-free, meaning if you aren t satisfied with your consultation, we will refund your money and even let you keep the x-rays. This is just another way we put our patients first. 7

8 5 Can They Transform Your Smile in One Day? In today s modern world, everyone is busy! With work, school, and extracurricular activities, finding time in your schedule for dental appointments can sometimes be difficult. That s why when you re looking for a new dentist, it s a good idea to inquire if they offer accelerated or same-day appointments and treatment options. At Dente Complete ry, we know your time is precious and important. Our goal is to work with you to provide the most time-efficient appointments and dental treatment options available to fit your schedule. If you re interested in Invisalign, we offer to start treatment on the same day as your initial exam and consultation, if that is what you want. We can also provide same-day implant-supported bridges and All-on-Four dentures in one day! Not only does this save you time, it also saves you money! This is yet another way that Dente Complete ry works to make dental treatment as easy and relaxing as possible for you. Why wait another day to embrace a bigger, brighter smile? Make your first appointment with Dente Complete ry, and you could be well on your way to a more stunning smile by the end of the day. 8

6 Do They Offer Any Guarantees? Seeking proper dental care requires putting a lot of time and energy into the journey toward your ideal smile the question is, what is your dentist putting on the line?

9 6 Do They Offer Any Guarantees? Seeking proper dental care requires putting a lot of time and energy into the journey toward your ideal smile the question is, what is your dentist putting on the line? Ask potential dentists whether they back their work with any guarantees. If you have concerns about how your treatment is progressing, how will they react? If you don t achieve the results promised during your initial consultation, what are your options moving forward? At Dente Complete ry, we re so confident you ll love your experience with us, we offer a risk-free new patient session. If you re not satisfied with the outcome of this appointment, we ll refund your money and even let you keep the x-rays. We back all our major work (bridges, crowns, implant crowns, dentures and veneers) with a 5-year guarantee, and we offer a 2-year breakage guarantee on dental fillings, as long as you ve attended your check-up appointments. To make your treatment as convenient for you as possible, we also guarantee that you or your child won t have to miss work or school to attend appointments. We realize you and your children have busy schedules, so we do our best to schedule your appointments to accommodate your needs. We re committed to providing the highest quality dental care to our patients and want to make the treatment process as convenient for you as possible. 9

7 Will They Respect Your Time? Commitments like school, extracurricular activities, and work may make it difficult to attend dental appointments.

10 7 Will They Respect Your Time? Commitments like school, extracurricular activities, and work may make it difficult to attend dental appointments. Dente Complete ry understands how managing multiple responsibilities can limit your time for things like appointments for dental cleanings and other dental care. That s why we do our best to respect your time when you visit our Chicago, IL, dental office. Not only will you experience virtually no wait times at Dente Complete ry, you also won t need to feel rushed during your appointment. We ensure that ample time is built into every appointment, so you can feel confident that all your questions will be answered, and all your dental needs met. This is another reason why more and more patients are calling Dr. Couret the best Chicago, IL, dentist! 10

11 8 Do They Provide Bilingual Services? If you or your loved one doesn t speak English as your first language, then trying to discuss complex health concerns with any kind of healthcare provider can be stressful and, in some cases, can even lead to poor treatment due to misunderstandings or miscommunication. It can also be a hassle to find someone to join you in your appointment as a translator, especially when you need a short-notice emergency appointment. To avoid problems that can arise due to language discrepancies, ask your potential dental office if any of their staff are bilingual in your native language. At Dente Complete ry, we appreciate the importance of being able to communicate effectively with our patients for the best possible dental care. For this reason, our office provides dental services in Spanish. This is just another way that we seek to go a step beyond for the members of our community. 11

9 Do They Offer a Discount for Seniors? As you age, your oral health becomes even more essential to your overall health because you become more susceptible to dental issues and disease.

This means increased trips to the dentist, plus increased costs associated with necessary care.

12 9 Do They Offer a Discount for Seniors? As you age, your oral health becomes even more essential to your overall health because you become more susceptible to dental issues and disease. Dental care for those over the age of 65 can often include dentures, bridges, crowns, and implant restoration, to name a few. This means increased trips to the dentist, plus increased costs associated with necessary care. Unfortunately, these costs aren t typically covered by Medicare or the dental insurance provided in retirement packages, which means much of the cost will be coming out of your pocket. At Dente Complete ry, we understand how dental health care costs can build up quickly, especially for seniors who require more than just a standard cleaning. In our effort to provide affordable dental care to all our patients, we provide a 10% discount for seniors over the age of 65. Schedule your new patient appointment with us today and learn about our payment options, plus anything else you may want to know. We look forward to meeting you! 12

13 10 Do They Offer a Free Invisalign Consultation? Our team at Dente Complete ry believes that you should be able to get to know your potential dentist and explore your treatment options before committing to a schedule of payments for dental care and treatments like Invisalign. That s why we offer a Dr. Couret FREE Invisalign Consultation to all new patients of our Chicago, IL, dental office. Learn about cutting-edge Invisalign treatment for free and with no obligation! During your appointment, you or your loved one will receive a complete exam, lowradiation digital x-rays, a 3D itero scan, an office tour, and a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Couret yours free simply for scheduling an appointment. As a bonus, you ll also receive a FREE copy of Dr. Couret s book, The Ultimate Dental Experience! During your consultation, Dr. Couret will take the time to learn about your expectations and needs, and he will integrate these into his treatment recommendation. At Dente Complete ry, we believe this should be a standard practice across the dental industry, because it will provide you with an honest treatment plan while valuing your input as a patient. Your trust, comfort, and health are our priorities! 13

14 11 BONUS: Do They Offer Affordable Payment Options? This report was only supposed to include 10 crucial questions to consider when looking for a dentist, but affordability is so important that I ve included this section as a bonus. Whether or not you have insurance, it s important to understand what kind of payment options your potential dentist offers before you make a decision. Dente Complete ry feels cost should never be an obstacle to receiving proper dental care, and we strive to provide excellent quality dental care with a payment plan that is personalized and affordable. We are currently in network with Delta Dental Premier, and we will work with you to determine your best financial options and work with your insurance provider. For your convenience, we accept Care Credit, Citi Health Card, and Lending Tree. When you come in for your new patient session, we ll help you understand all the different payment plans we offer. From general inquiries about the cost of treatment to questions unique to your needs, we re ready to deliver the answers you need so you can get the smile you want. You can rest easy knowing that every facet of your dental treatment is going to be smooth-sailing and worry free! 14

15 Closing Letter from Dr. Couret Dear Friend, I hope this report was informative! If you ve already seen another dentist, I encourage you to follow up with them and ask any new questions or concerns based on what you ve learned today. If you still find yourself unsatisfied with your dentist s answers, I invite you to visit our office in Chicago, IL, for a second opinion or for your next general cleaning. At Dente Complete ry, we understand that there is much to consider when choosing a new dentist. In fact, I m sure I could have doubled the length of this report! I am confident, though, that the information you have now will help you choose the right dental office for your needs.
