According to a recent study conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 92% of adults feel that an attractive smile is a positive social asset, but unfortunately only 50% are actually happy with their own smile. A key factor in processing a beautiful smile is recognizing that the appearance of your smile is only a reflection of its relative health. In other words, if your smile is healthy in form and function, then it will be esthetically pleasing. If there are blemishes or developing irregularities, it is mostly likely the sign of some biological and health related reason why it is un-esthetic, and it’s time to seek the recommendations of your dentist.
Here are some tips in achieving and maintaining a great looking smile:
Choosing a Cosmetic / Restorative Dentist
-Search for a cosmetic dentist in your area that has the talent and training who can accomplish your smile enhancement predictably.
-Visit their facility; does their décor and technology reflect the level of commitment to cosmetic dentistry that is appropriate for the treatment you want?
-Talk to the staff. Are they courteous and polite? Will they make you comfortable for the procedures you will have completed?
-Talk to the doctor. Does he have the level of passion and enthusiasm to stay committed to your treatment goals? Will he listen and understand what you want to accomplish? What has he done to dedicate himself to continuing education in this field?
-Finally look at his work. Does he have before and after photos of treatment he has actually completed that is similar to the treatment you are seeking?
