Are you looking for the best cosmetic dentist? How do you pick the right one? This can be an overwhelming process, especially since most dentists claim to be “experts” in the field of cosmetic dentistry. You need to arm yourself with knowledge and the right questions to ask in order to help choose the best dentist for you. Don’t be afraid to go after the attractive smile you’ve always dreamed of having.
Dr. Kezian is very knowledgeable in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Below are some guidelines and tips for you to use as you explore your options.
Many dentists predominantly do routine dentistry and only a few actually do cosmetic work. Find out from a dentist, what percentage of their practice involves solely in cosmetic dentistry such as porcelain veneers or other cosmetic techniques. Don’t be afraid to ask for specific percentages or annual case volumes. Take charge!
Most dentists like pictures and take a lot of them - be curious and ask to see them! Most cosmetic dentists have albums of before and after pictures that you can look through. If you don’t see photos, go somewhere else!
Unfortunately most dental schools don’t spend a lot of time on cosmetic dentistry. There are many post-graduate programs that offer expert training specifically for cosmetic dentistry. In addition, there are many membership associations that a cosmetic dentist will affiliate with to keep up with the most up to date technology and techniques. This information should be easily obtainable and visible in the dentist’s office.
Many cosmetic dentists will happily provide you with a list of former patients you can call. Be ready to ask questions and address any concerns that you may have.
