2Introduction
- If you ever had a thought to enhance your smile,
you have also been wondering how to choose a good
cosmetic dentist for your needs. The answer is
never simple, especially since the American
Dental Association (ADA) doesn't recognize
"cosmetic dentistry" as a specialized field of
practice for dentists. Similarly, in most of the
state dental boards, (the licensing and
regulatory bodies) they don't have special
regulations that are unique to practicing as a
cosmetic dentist. - The education required to become a dental surgeon
(DDS) includes training on the discipline
including the technologies associated with
providing cosmetic dentistry services in a
general way. Training programs that are held in
the 90's and beyond are different from the ones
in previous decades because of the growing demand
for cosmetic dentistry services. - So, let's turn to the 5 Questions that can help
you make a wise decision.
31. How much experience does the dentist have?
- Dentists who have a focus on cosmetic dentistry
generally offer these services - Veneers and cosmetic bonding
- Teeth whitening treatments
- Orthodontics, such as braces and aligners
- Bridges and crowns
- Dental implants
- While looking at before and after photos can
certainly be impressive, you should also
specifically inquire about the depth of
experience in any of the above areas that will be
involved in your treatment plan. Functionality
and oral health should never be compromised to
achieve a great visual appearance. Learning to
achieve all three comes not only from know-how,
but also from extensive hands-on experience. How
many patients has he or she treated with the
specific type of treatment that you will require?
42. How and where did your dentist get his or her
experience?
- As with any profession, mentoring and training at
the hands of experts can have a huge influence on
how well and how quickly you can become highly
skilled as a cosmetic dentist. - Begin by looking for a graduate of a nationally
recognized dental school - one whose professors
are certain to be familiar with the latest
technology and are recognized for their
expertise. - The DDS education program is not the end. Make
sure to ask if the dentist has additional
training from experts. Especially, look for
experience in large university hospital settings
that have departments of specialty related to
dentistry and cosmetic enhancement. Those teams
typically treat the most challenging cases, and
hands-on experience gained there comes with the
oversight of national experts. (These types of
departments might specialize in craniofacial or
dento-facial needs, or in orthodontics.) - If you're looking for a special type of service,
such as Invisalign "invisible braces," you should
inquire about whether the cosmetic dentist has
achieved preferred provider status i.e., a
designation based on having provided those
specific services to patients.
53. Does the dentist provide sedation dentistry?
- If you've ever experienced dental anxiety, have a
hectic schedule, want quick results, or need
extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures, you
might want to look for a cosmetic dentist who is
certified to perform sedation dentistry. It is
sometimes possible to combine what might
otherwise require two or three appointments into
a single appointment by using sedation - without
compromising your health or quality of the
results. - Not all states regulate the practice of sedation
dentistry, although more states are starting to
do so in order to ensure patient safety. There
are also different levels of sedation dentistry.
You can call your state dental board and find out
if sedation dentistry is regulated, discuss
different levels of sedation, and perhaps also
obtain the names of dentists in your area who are
certified.
64. How well does the proposed treatment plan suit
you?
- You must also make sure if your dentist is
flexible in what he/she is offering. Many times,
experience is not the only way out! The result is
that the proposed plan might not be the best one
for you - from the standpoint of your oral
health, your desired outcome, or your budget. A
cosmetic dentist who is adept and experienced at
cosmetic dentistry can strike a good balance
between outcome and budget, without compromising
your oral health. -
- If you're feeling discouraged because you were
presented with a plan that was completely out of
your budget (even with a payment plan), then
don't be afraid to look for another qualified
cosmetic dentist. You don't have to sacrifice
quality in order to experience improvements in
your smile. Continue to look for an experienced
cosmetic dentist. Ask whether the dentist would
be willing to work with you in devising a plan
that suits your budget.
75. Are you offered flexible payment options?
- Do not be afraid to ask whether the cosmetic
dentistry procedures you're interested in are or
are not covered by your specific insurance plan.
Because many procedures performed today are
elective, your dental insurance may not pay for
the procedures you want. That is why, asking
about the available payment options can be wise
when you are in need of extensive treatment
plans. - FLOSS Mcallen provides a wide variety of dental
treatments. -
