2012-11-29

LAS VEGAS, NV, November 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Your cosmetic dentist is responsible for achieving the goals you have for your smile. Choosing a cosmetic dentist who can achieve these goals competently and skillfully is important to your overall satisfaction with your smile. An initial consultation with a cosmetic dentist is your opportunity to ask questions. You should also feel comfortable asking questions at any point in your care.

Some questions you may want to ask when choosing a cosmetic dentist include:

- How long have you been practicing dentistry?
- What are your qualifications as a cosmetic dentist?
- How routinely do you perform cosmetic dentistry procedures?
- What cosmetic dentistry procedure do you recommend for the issue I am concerned about?
- How much experience do you have with this procedure?
- Why is this the right procedure for me?
- Are there any alternative procedures I should consider?

You may also want to ask whether the cosmetic dentist participates in any ongoing education and training. Modern dentistry is an ever-evolving field, and you may want to choose a dentist who prioritizes staying abreast of the latest techniques, technology and knowledge.

Some patients are interested in knowing more about the technology the dentist uses. Lasers, soundless drills, and CEREC machines that create restorations on-site are some examples of state-of-the-art technology some dentists use.

If it is important to you, you may want to ask about amenities offered at the practice. Some cosmetic dentists provide music, beverages, or movies to watch. Some dentists offer pillows and blankets. If comfort is important to you, you may want to ask about such amenities.

Once you learn more about the cosmetic dentist, you may want to ask more questions specific to your treatment or proposed procedures. Such questions may include:

- Do you offer financing for this procedure?
- What are the possible risks, and how will you deal with them should they arise?
- What kind of results can I expect?
- How long is the procedure, and how many dental appointments will it require?

You should feel confident you are choosing the right cosmetic dentistry procedure. Asking questions about the procedure is a good way to gather more information and to think about alternatives.

Of course, this is not an exhaustive list of topics. Before your consultation, you may want to take a moment to consider what you want to know about your dentist, and ask questions you are curious about.
