Living in a small community such as Ashton or Sandy Spring can have its perks compared to living in a larger town such as Olney. Small communities can be tight-knit, have a slower pace of life, and can instill a sense of belonging. However, communities such as Ashton and Sandy Spring can also pose some challenges, such as limited access to certain services, including dental care. Many small communities may not have a dentist in town, and people may need to travel to a nearby town to see a dentist. Even if someone does go to a dentist in Ashton or Sandy Spring, they may find they need to go to another dentist when they have an emergency or if their dentist doesn’t offer a dental service they need.
Dr. David Eskow’s dental office in Olney is only 15 minutes away from the heart of the Ashton-Sandy Spring area and patients may make the drive for the following reasons:
Access to a wider range of dental services
One of the main advantages of seeing a dentist in a larger town such as Olney instead of a smaller community such as Ashton, is access to a wider range of dental services. The dentist in Ashton or Sandy Spring may not have training in placing dental implants or Invisalign, for example.
Limited availability and emergency dental care
Small communities may have a limited number of dentists, which can lead to longer wait times and limited appointment availability. In David Eskow’s dental office, on the other hand, there are two dentists to choose from, offering a wider range of appointment times that can better accommodate a person’s schedule.
Additionally, dental emergencies can happen at any time, and having access to emergency dental care is essential. If a community has only one dentist they may not have any availability for an emergency dental patient.
More advanced dental technology and equipment
Dental technology and equipment are constantly evolving, and small community dental offices may not have access to the latest advancements since they don’t have the patient base to support it. Dr. Eskow’s Olney dental office has advanced equipment such as an intra-oral scanner.
Better quality of dental care
By not limiting yourself to a dentist in a small community, the options open up allowing you to see dentist that may provide better care. For example, Dr. Eskow’s Olney dental office has a 4.9 star rating on Google and more reviews than most dental offices in the area.
Traveling to Dr. Eskow’s Olney dental office should be well worth the effort to anyone in Ashton or Sandy Spring looking for a new dentist. If you’re interested in a dental consultation with Dr. Eskow or Dr. Chillari please call the office or request an appointment online.
