A smile makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic service that helps you achieve the ideal appearance for your teeth and gums. In order for it to be successful, you need to choose an experienced and qualified dentist! Lots of providers offer cosmetic services, but not all of them have the same level of experience, training, and in-office technology. How can you find the right dentist for your smile makeover? This blog post provides helpful tips.
Experience & Training
The more experience and training a dentist has, the more likely they are to provide treatment that meets your expectations. At Sunrise Dental Service in Bohemia, Dr. Makadia has over three decades of experience and a wealth of training in both cosmetic and restorative services. He also regularly attends continuing education courses to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in his field and uses the latest technology to provide the best results for his patients.
Past Cases
You can learn a lot about a dentist through their past cases. You can look at online reviews to learn what other patients have to say about their experience. It is also completely appropriate to ask to see before and after photos of cases that are similar to yours. Many dentists have an online gallery where they show some of their best work and may also have more photos in-office that they may show you during your consultation. Browsing through these pictures can help you have a realistic idea of what can be accomplished through treatment and the quality of the dentist’s work.
Restorative Treatment
The primary objective of a smile makeover is to help you find new love for your appearance by enhancing your appearance. It is important to keep in mind that you might need some restorative care before you undergo treatments that are purely cosmetic. For example, you might need laser gum treatment, fillings, crowns, or tooth replacement. Choosing a dentist who offers restorative as well as cosmetic services can allow you to get all the treatment your smile needs in a single location.
Technology & Advanced Services
Most dentists offer basic cosmetic services, like teeth whitening and bonding. Others perform more advanced cosmetic services. For example, Dr. Makadia offers procedures such as no-prep Lumineers, veneers, crowns/bridges, and orthodontic treatment with clear aligners. He is also highly qualified in laser services, which is ideal if you want to undergo gum recontouring or crown lengthening.
Other Practical Considerations
In addition to looking for the above qualifications, you should ask yourself these questions before you commit to treatment with any particular dentist:
- Do I feel comfortable with the dentist and their team?
- Do they attentively listen to my concerns and thoroughly answer my questions?
- Do they offer a variety of cosmetic treatments and pay attention to the bigger picture of the mouth as a whole, or do they just offer patch-up options?
- Does the practice offer convenient payment options, like financing through CareCredit?
Choosing a dentist for your smile makeover is not a decision that you should take lightly! Carefully consider your options so you can move forward with confidence and get the smile you have always wanted.
