How to Choose the Best Cosmetic Dentist for Your Needs

There are several things to consider as you look for the best cosmetic dentist for your own unique needs and goals. It’s important to remember that a cosmetic dentist is one who can not only perform general and restorative treatments, but also has extensive training in cosmetic dentistry techniques and procedures that can improve smile aesthetics—such as porcelain veneers, Invsalign®, dental implants, and more. Experienced cosmetic dentists typically make aesthetic treatments a strong focus of their practice. Like Dr. Clay, they also usually hold membership in organizations such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Here are a few tips on how you can narrow down your options when it comes to selecting your cosmetic dentist:

Review the Dentist’s Background and Credentials

One of the best ways to learn more about a prospective dentist’s professional history is by looking closely at his or her list of credentials. You can learn a great deal about their experience, skill levels, and commitment by identifying factors such as: the number of years they’ve been practicing dentistry; organizations for which they hold affiliations or membership; community involvement; honors, awards, and recognitions they have received; and their areas of special focus. Biographical information is typically available on the practice’s website, and you should feel free to ask the practice directly for any additional information you would like.

Take a Look at Patient Reviews and Testimonials

You can often get a general idea about the type of service you can expect from a particular dentist by reading about other patients’ experiences. Patient testimonials and dentist reviews, available either on the practice’s website or on third-party review sites, can serve as resources that offer a variety of opinions that can help you in your research.

Review Before-and-After Photos

A “Smile Gallery” can give you a great deal of information about the skill level of a particular cosmetic dentist. Before-and-after photos typically feature images of patients who have been treated at the practice. These images showcase specific procedures that may include a treatment you are considering, which can help you see the results that the dentist is capable of producing. If a Smile Gallery is not available on a dentist’s website, feel free to ask to see before-and-after photos at the office.

Questions to Ask Your Dentist

Never be hesitant to ask questions of your prospective dentist. If you are thinking about contacting a dentist to schedule a consultation, there are several questions that can help you learn more about them and decide whether they are the right fit for your needs. Here are a few options:
