At Sunrise Dental Service, Dr. Makadia and our Bohemia, Long Island, team love to help patients find new confidence in their smiles! That is why we offer a range of cosmetic services, including comprehensive smile makeovers. Before you commit to anything, though, we want you to feel well-informed about your decision to enhance your appearance. In this blog post, we share some questions that we would love to hear you ask.
Can I See Examples of Your Work?
Any good cosmetic dentist will be happy to show you before and after photos of previous patients. We even have a smile gallery on our website where you can see how we have helped other people to achieve healthier, more attractive teeth. These photos can give you a realistic idea of what can be accomplished through cosmetic and restorative services.
Am I a Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
Almost anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth can get a smile makeover. However, the process is more complex for some patients. For example, because we prioritize your oral health, you might need gum disease treatment or other services before you can undergo services that are purely cosmetic in nature.
How Long Will My Smile Makeover Take?
The timeline for a smile makeover depends on which services you undergo and a few other factors. We will try to give you an estimate of how long it will take to achieve your goals. If you have a special event coming up, and you want your smile to look a certain way before that time, let us know. If possible, we will try to work that into our schedule.
How Much Will My Smile Makeover Cost?
The cost of a smile makeover can vary greatly between patients. Our team will give you an estimate based on your unique circumstances, and we will make sure you understand our financial policies. Having this information upfront will help you plan your budget so it can accommodate your new look.
How Can I Make My Results Last?
With proper care, the results of cosmetic dentistry can last quite a while. Our team will be happy to provide personalized advice to help you maintain your new smile. For example, we can provide oral hygiene tips, tell you what foods to center your diet on, and more. We might also encourage you to quit certain habits, such as smoking or biting your fingernails.
Asking the right questions can set you up for a successful smile makeover journey! Write a list of things you would like to bring up during your consultation, and we will be happy to take time to address anything that is on your mind.
