Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dentist

When your smile is in need of a tune-up, you are in need of finding a good cosmetic dentist to perform the work. But before you run to the phone book and search for a “cosmetic” dentist, be aware that any type of dentist can refer to him or herself as a cosmetic dentist. There is no official oversight board that certifies dentists as specializing in “cosmetic dentistry”. So, if you’re shopping for a smile enhancement or seeking help in shining up your smile, here are few tips on what to consider:

Advanced Postgraduate Training:

Probably the most important criteria to determine whether your dentist is properly trained to perform cosmetic dentistry is to inquire whether they’ve received live patient treatment postgraduate training in aesthetic dentistry, also referred to as cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry is not taught in dental school, so advanced education and training is crucial.

Consultation Process:

Don’t settle for a dental practice where you are not given an opportunity to sit down with the dentist for a thorough discussion of what you can expect, especially with regard to porcelain veneers and smile makeovers. Ask the dentist how they would design a smile for you and if they offer the ability for you to preview, or “test drive”, your new smile.

Modern Equipment:

Dentists outfitted with the latest high-tech equipment are more likely to be up-to-date on the latest treatments. Diagnostic computerization, intra-oral cameras for example, are indicative of a progressive practice.

Comfort Quotient:

This may be considered “icing on the cake”, but, hey, who doesn’t want to feel more relaxed at the dentists’ office? Many dentists these days cater to their patients’ needs.

Teeth Whitening

Power Whitening:

Calgary cosmetic dentistry Calgary Smile Makeover Is a combination of in-office whitening and take-home trays. Your first appointment is a conditioning appointment that is done in the office with our Zoom2 curing light, followed by two weeks with the take-home trays, and then a final in-office boost procedure. The combination whitening process not only provides the whitest smile possible for you but also allows you to maintain your whiteness through the use of the trays.

Take Home:

With take-home teeth whitening, the custom made tray is usually worn for 10-14 days, until you reach the desired result. Even subtle changes in shading can make someone look years younger.
