How to Choose the Right Cosmetic Dentist
A person's smile can either instill confidence or create feelings of insecurity. People with "perfect" smiles tend to flash their pearly whites much easier than those with dental problems such as:
Chipped, broken or cracked teeth
Crowded teeth or those with large gaps
Gum disease
Missing teeth
Stained or discolored teeth
If you are suffering from dental problems like those listed above, a cosmetic dentist will be able to transform your smile and restore your self-confidence. The trick is to find an experienced, knowledgeable cosmetic dentist who is expertly trained to provide just the right treatment (or several treatments) for your unique problems.
What types of dental treatments do cosmetic dentists offer?
It is important to note that not all dentists have the specialized training to adequately provide advanced treatments. Cosmetic dentistry procedures that continue to gain popularity include:
Porcelain veneers and dental bonding
Invisalign clear braces
White fillings
Full mouth rejuvenation/reconstruction
Dental implants
In some cases, the patient may only require one procedure to fix a minor imperfection. However, in more severe cases, a combination of procedures and many lengthy steps may be involved to achieve the patient's ultimate goal. Regardless of the complexity of treatments, praiseworthy cosmetic dentists will also focus on the aesthetic to ensure the patient ultimately ends up with a natural-looking smile.
What should you look for when selecting a cosmetic dentist?
Cosmetic dentists take their dental educations many steps beyond dental school by enhancing their skills through continuing education. When researching possible cosmetic dentists in your area, look for one who is active in a number of different organizations/programs. The following is a list of organizations from which many cosmetic dentists belong to, receive accreditation from or actually graduate from various programs or specialties:
American Dental Association
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies
American Society of Dental Aesthetics
What other steps should you take?
Verify the dentist's state dental license
Verify all accreditations
Ask to see patient testimonials as well as before and after photos
Ask how long the dentist has performed the procedures you are considering
Ask about malpractice insurance
Ask about financing and insurance
Confirm that state-of-the-art instruments and techniques will be implemented in a sterile setting
Fully understand all of the potential risks and complications of each procedure
The decision to undergo cosmetic dental procedures can be relatively minor or extremely major. However, all cosmetic dentistry procedures should be performed by a highly qualified cosmetic dentist to decrease the risk of unsatisfactory results or further teeth damage.
