Choosing a Cosmetic Dentist

One of the first steps in your cosmetic dentistry journey is choosing a dentist. The professional providing your care should be attentive to your individual wishes and goals, and should possess an appropriate educational and professional background. To learn more about your cosmetic dentist, questions to ask may include:

- Where did you receive your dental education and training?
- Do you and your staff participate in ongoing professional training?
- How many years of experience do you have in cosmetic dentistry?
- Do you hold membership to any dental organizations?

Your relationship with your cosmetic dentist may be ongoing, so it is important to feel comfortable asking the dentist questions and discussing options.

Choosing a Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure

There may be several cosmetic dentistry procedures from which you could benefit. You will rely greatly on the experience and knowledge of your dentist to provide guidance on the treatment that is right for you. Questions to ask about a specific treatment or procedure may include:

- Am I a good candidate for this cosmetic dental procedure?
- How long will this restoration last?
- What kind of maintenance and care is associated with this restoration?
- Do you have any before-and-after photos of patients who have received this type of cosmetic dentistry?
- Do you offer any financing options for cosmetic dentistry?
- What are the risks and complications associated with the treatment?
- What do you do if a complication arises?

In addition to the answers to these questions, your decision will likely depend on affordability and treatment length as well, so you may want to ask about how much the procedure costs and whether there are any alternatives, as well as how much time will be required before you see results.
