Choosing a new family dentist can be a stressful process. Even if you start with a web search for "dentists near me," it's hard to know who to trust with your family's dental care. Thanks to her practice's experienced staff, their proactive approach to oral hygiene, and the warm atmosphere, residents of Waipahu have chosen Lisa Valderueda, D. M. D. Inc as their dentist time and again.

If you’re looking for a new dentist, and you’re feeling unsure of where to start, consider the following:

What Are The Dentist's Qualifications? Ask about a dentist's education and experience, and consider how long a dental practice has existed. With a BS in Biology from Boston College, dental school at Washington University School of Dental Medicine in Saint Louis, and years of experience in her private practice, Dr. Valderueda demonstrates excellence in her outstanding qualifications.

• Who Recommends The Dental Practice? Question your friends, neighbors, and even your old dentist (if you’re moving). Online review websites can also provide helpful information. "Dr. Valderueda is the kindest and best dentist I have ever gone to! She is gentle, caring, and very professional," states Google+ reviewer Ikaika N.
• What Are Their Preventative Dentistry Practices? The key to good dental health lies in preventative care. A dentist should offer regular exams and cleanings along with periodic full-mouth x-rays to identify any issues as early as possible. Dr. Valderueda takes preventative care very seriously, as her web site states, "prevention is the key to achieving a beautiful, healthy smile."
• Do They Offer Specialized Services? Ask about a dental practice's policies and practices with regard to emergency care or cosmetic dentistry. Select a practitioner who will quickly respond to your urgent needs, like Dr. Valderueda, who offers "emergency service in Waipahu...anytime of the day or night." Other special services include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening.
