Is your smile in need of a tune-up, then you are in need of finding a good cosmetic dentist to perform the work. But before you run to the phone book and search for a "Cosmetic Dentist", be aware that any dentist can refer him or herself as a "Cosmetic Dentist". There is no official oversight board that certifies dentists as "Cosmetic Dentist", so if you are shopping for a smile enhancement or seeking help in shining up your smile, here are a few tips to consider:
Advance Post Graduate Training
Probably the most important criteria to determine whether your dentist is properly trained to perform cosmetic dentistry is to inquire if they have received live patient treatment post-graduate training in aesthetic dentistry, also referred to as "Cosmetic Dentistry"
Consultation process
Does your dentist rushes you into the chair and then leaves you sitting there?
Don't settle for a dental practice where you are not given an opportunity to sit down with the dentist for a thorough discussion of what you can expect, specially in regards to porcelain Veneers and smile makeovers. Ask the Dentist how they would design a new smile and if they offer the ability for you to preview or "test Drive" your new smile.
Modern Equipment
Dentists outfitted with the latest high technology equipment are more likely to be up to date with the latest treatments, diagnostic computerization, intra-oral cameras and smile imaging for example, are indicative of a progressive practice.
Comfort Quotient
This may be consider the "Icing on the Cake", but who wouldn't want to feel more relaxed at the Dentist office?
