Are you considering cosmetic dentistry for your smile? Are chipped or crooked teeth keeping you from showing it off? Maybe you’ve browsed our smile gallery and learned about the possibilities, but you still have questions. Today, we’re sharing a guide to what to ask your cosmetic dentist during your consultation.
Cosmetic Dentistry at Desai Dental Care
Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Desai may recommend one or more of these treatments to help you achieve your best smile:
- Professional teeth whitening — This may be all you need to enhance your smile, or it may be one part of a smile makeover plan.
- Composite fillings and bonding — Tooth-colored composite resin can be used for fillings and for bonding, a procedure that can address many of the same concerns as porcelain veneers.
- Porcelain veneers — Thin, customized layers of porcelain cover the front surface of your teeth and can change their size, shape, or shade for a complete smile transformation.
- Clear aligners with Invisalign® —A discreet way to straighten teeth without the hassle of braces.
- Porcelain crowns — Custom crowns cover the entire tooth and restore teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, or fractured.
How to Prepare for Your Cosmetic Dental Consultation
A little preparation helps you get the most from your consultation with your Langhorne cosmetic dentist. Bring photos of smiles you admire and a list of what you’d like to change. Then come ready to ask questions such as:
- Which treatments do you recommend for my goals, and why?
- What will the process, timeline, and cost look like?
- How long will results last, and how should I care for them?
- What alternatives exist, and what are the pros and cons of each?
- Can I see before-and-after photos of similar cases?
Be sure to share your dental history and any concerns, too. We want you to feel confident and comfortable before treatment begins. Contact our team to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Desai or request a visit online.
