Like your Reflection Again

If you are tired of your reflection in the mirror because of your smile, it’s time to schedule an appointment with a cosmetic dentist. Scheduling a complimentary cosmetic dentistry evaluation will help your dentist determine what dental cosmetic procedures would be best for your particular needs whether you require a simple in office tooth whitening treatment, or something more permanent such as dental veneers or invisible braces.

When you schedule a comprehensive dental examination with your dentist your past and present medical history will be discussed before your dentist conducts a thorough checkup that will include an oral cancer screening, gum evaluation and a cleaning. If you have any cavities, your dentist may decide to fill them during your checkup or schedule an additional appointment to take care of the decay if a large filling and root canal therapy is required.

After your oral examination and dental checkup your dentist will discuss what types of cosmetic dental procedures would be best for your situation while asking you questions regarding your perception of the perfect smile. Dental veneers, dental implants, dental bonding, inlays, onlays, invisible braces, bridges, or crowns may be recommended to improve your smile. Sometimes all that may be needed is a simple tooth whitening procedure, which can take place chair side or at home with custom made home bleaching trays and whitening gel.

If your dentist recommends dental bonding, you will only need one appointment per tooth as this cosmetic and restorative dental procedure is done completely in house and on site in just one visit per tooth or area. 

If more than one dental procedure is required, you and your dentist will discuss payment plans and options along with a treatment schedule. Some procedures may be best before others, while sometimes you can have two or more procedures during the same appointment.
