Choosing the right dentist by asking the dental lab?

For years, I have accepted many dentists as patients for restorative treatment.   These dentists are seeking out the very best of quality dental care.  Here is a list of some common key points that they shared prior to selecting me as their dentist:

1. The dentist must have many years experience in cosmetic and restorative dentistry

2. The dentist must be meticulous in tooth preparation design

3. The dentist must have persistent attention to detail

4. The dentist must use a dental microscope

5. The dentist’s lab must use a dental microscope

6. The dentist must use a high quality (non-commercial) dental laboratory

Each dentist consulted a high quality dental laboratory and ask the lab owner for a referral as to who they thought presented them with the best dental work.  These dentists were also allowed to review my cases in the laboratory to help them make their final decision.  GC
