Moving to a new town comes with a long checklist. Between getting settled into your neighborhood and learning new commuting routes, important matters, like finding a local dentist provider, can slip through the cracks. 

Establishing a relationship with a family dentist early can save time and stress down the road. Whether you've recently moved to Apex or another part of Wake County, choosing a dental practice that fits your family's needs can make your move more convenient.

What to Look for in a Family Dentist

Not all dental practices are built around the needs of busy families. As you evaluate your options, first consider location and accessibility. A conveniently located office makes it much easier to keep up with routine preventive appointments. It's also worth looking for a practice that provides comprehensive family dental services. Having one trusted office for children, teens, adults, and seniors simplifies scheduling and creates continuity as needs change over time.

Finally, pay attention to office hours. Flexible morning or evening appointments can be especially valuable for parents trying to schedule visits before or after work or school.

Location Matters for Busy Wake County Families

An easy way to eliminate unnecessary stress is to choose a dentist that's convenient to where you already live and travel. Bass & Watson Family Dental is conveniently located on W. Williams Street (Highway 64) in Apex, providing easy access for families throughout the area. Residents of communities like Walden Creek, Haddon Hall, Bella Casa, and Woodcreek can also typically only a quick drive from our office.

When dental care is convenient, families are often better able to stay consistent with regular cleanings, exams, and preventive care.

Making Your First Visit Easier

Streamlining your first appointment is another great way to start a relationship with a new dental practice. Filling out New Patient Forms before your visit allows your dental team to reduce your check-in time, and make the appointment more efficient. It's a small step that can help make your first experience smoother and more comfortable.

Finding a family dentist quickly after moving is a decision that can pay off for years to come. And we’re here to help!
