Cosmetic dentists can help enhance or improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and jaw. If you are unhappy with your smile, or have cracked, broken, or misshapen teeth, finding a good cosmetic dentist is important. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the overall appearance of your smile. This includes the color, shape, size, and position of your teeth.

Searching for a good cosmetic dentist can be stressful, but knowing what to look out for can help you find a dentist that is perfect for you.

What to Consider When Searching for a Cosmetic Dentist

• Check for a dentist’s credentials by visiting her website and reading a biography about the doctor. If this is not available, contact the office directly to collect this information.
• Ask for referrals and talk to people that have had prior cosmetic dental procedures.
• Look for a dentist that has continuing education. Continuing education shows that a dentist is constantly improving her knowledge, learning new techniques using the latest technology, and expanding on skills.
• When reading her biography, look to see how long she has been practicing cosmetic dentistry and how many procedures she has done over the years.
• Look at before and after photos to help get a good idea of the doctor’s skills.
• Schedule a cosmetic consultation to learn about the doctor and practice. Consultations allow you to discuss your concerns, and learn about what treatment options are available. This will also give you a good idea if you feel comfortable with the dentist you choose.

Choosing the best cosmetic dentist for you is important. Knowing her background, expertise, and work she has done can help you make a decision. Achieving that perfect smile to boost confidence, or correct an issue can be life changing. Taking charge of your dental health can give you that smile you have always wanted.
