If you don’t like your smile, change it! Cosmetic dentistry now offers cutting-edge technology and procedures that can change a little or a lot about your smile. The first thing you need to do if you are considering cosmetic dentistry is to answer these questions.
What is your timeline?
If you need a new smile tomorrow, or within a few days, it matters what type of cosmetic procedure you choose. Some procedures can be completed in one visit, such as teeth whitening, or composite dental bonding – a tooth-colored resin material that can cover up minor imperfections in teeth. However, if you are interested in results that will last for the long haul, procedures such as dental implants, veneers, or orthodontics, you may be looking at a longer time frame to reach your desired results.
How white do you want your teeth?
A common cosmetic fix is to achieve whiter teeth, but just how white is white enough? While some patients prefer that “Hollywood” white, the brightest you can get, others prefer a more natural looking white. Keep in mind that there is no “wrong” shade of white. The dentist will have a shade guide to help you choose which shade is best for you.
What is it about your smile that you don’t like?
Simply saying that you do not like how your smile looks, or it is not attractive enough doesn’t really pinpoint the issues. Be specific about what you do not like when it comes to your smile. Are your teeth uneven, dingy, crooked, or misshapen? Is your smile too “gummy,” meaning you show too much gum and not enough teeth when you smile? These are all aspects about your smile that can be changed, as long as you point them out. Be sure to address all of your concerns with the dentist during your consultation. This way, you can reduce the chance of needing repeat visits.
