Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, looking for a mechanic to repair your car, or hiring someone to do landscaping in your yard, you always want to find the best person for the job. When it comes to finding a good cosmetic dentist, the stakes are a lot higher—your smile is one of the first things people notice about you! The right cosmetic dentist can make the difference between teeth that look boxy and unnatural and a beautiful smile that simply looks like a new, improved version of your own.
Here’s how to find a good cosmetic dentist near you.
Make Sure They Offer the Services You Need
Cosmetic dentistry is an umbrella term that includes a number of different procedures. Most general dentists offer services like teeth whitening and bonding, but not all dentists offer Invisalign and veneers, so simply looking for the term “cosmetic dentistry” on a website isn’t enough—you’ll need to look for the specific treatments you have in mind.
If you’re like most patients, you probably don’t want to have to go to separate dental practices for your cosmetic dentistry and your regular dental check-ups and restorative treatments. For this reason, we recommend simply choosing one comprehensive dental practice that offers a wide range of services. This way, you’ll never have to worry about coordinating care between multiple providers.
Look for Testimonials and Reviews
We have testimonials from our patients available right on our website; we also have links to reviews on social media so you can easily browse through what our patients have to say about our services on other platforms too.
When you’re looking for a good cosmetic dentist, be sure to search reviews for important keywords so you can hone in on the reviews that are relevant to your needs. If you’re looking for a cosmetic dentist for Invisalign, reviews about gum disease treatment or root canals won’t tell you much about their Invisalign services!
It’s also a good idea to look at before and after photos when you’re searching for a cosmetic dentist. Most dental practices have before and after photos of patients available if you ask to see them. Be aware that some before and after photos on dental websites are stock photos, not pictures of real results from actual patients.
Check for the Right Credentials and Experience
Ask any potential cosmetic dentist about their experience and education. For example, Imperial Dental Associates is a Platinum Plus Invisalign Provider, a status given to dentists who complete at least 200 cases each year, which means we have extensive experience working with this Orthodontic system.
A commitment to continuing education is important as well. Our team keeps up with the latest technologies and research to ensure that we offer our patients the best possible service. Cosmetic dentistry changes rapidly, making continuing education a must.
