Introduction

• If you ever had a thought to enhance your smile,
  you have also been wondering how to choose a good
  cosmetic dentist for your needs. The answer is
  never simple, especially since the American
  Dental Association (ADA) doesn't recognize
  "cosmetic dentistry" as a specialized field of
  practice for dentists. Similarly, in most of the
  state dental boards, (the licensing and
  regulatory bodies) they don't have special
  regulations that are unique to practicing as a
  cosmetic dentist.
• The education required to become a dental surgeon
  (DDS) includes training on the discipline
  including the technologies associated with
  providing cosmetic dentistry services in a
  general way. Training programs that are held in
  the 90's and beyond are different from the ones
  in previous decades because of the growing demand
  for cosmetic dentistry services.
• So, let's turn to the 5 Questions that can help
  you make a wise decision.

3
1. How much experience does the dentist have?

• Dentists who have a focus on cosmetic dentistry
  generally offer these services
• Veneers and cosmetic bonding
• Teeth whitening treatments
• Orthodontics, such as braces and aligners
• Bridges and crowns
• Dental implants
• While looking at before and after photos can
  certainly be impressive, you should also
  specifically inquire about the depth of
  experience in any of the above areas that will be
  involved in your treatment plan. Functionality
  and oral health should never be compromised to
  achieve a great visual appearance. Learning to
  achieve all three comes not only from know-how,
  but also from extensive hands-on experience. How
  many patients has he or she treated with the
  specific type of treatment that you will require?

2. How and where did your dentist get his or her
experience?

• As with any profession, mentoring and training at
  the hands of experts can have a huge influence on
  how well and how quickly you can become highly
  skilled as a cosmetic dentist.
• Begin by looking for a graduate of a nationally
  recognized dental school - one whose professors
  are certain to be familiar with the latest
  technology and are recognized for their
  expertise.
• The DDS education program is not the end. Make
  sure to ask if the dentist has additional
  training from experts. Especially, look for
  experience in large university hospital settings
  that have departments of specialty related to
  dentistry and cosmetic enhancement. Those teams
  typically treat the most challenging cases, and
  hands-on experience gained there comes with the
  oversight of national experts. (These types of
  departments might specialize in craniofacial or
  dento-facial needs, or in orthodontics.)
• If you're looking for a special type of service,
  such as Invisalign "invisible braces," you should
  inquire about whether the cosmetic dentist has
  achieved preferred provider status i.e., a
  designation based on having provided those
  specific services to patients.

3. Does the dentist provide sedation dentistry?

• If you've ever experienced dental anxiety, have a
  hectic schedule, want quick results, or need
  extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures, you
  might want to look for a cosmetic dentist who is
  certified to perform sedation dentistry. It is
  sometimes possible to combine what might
  otherwise require two or three appointments into
  a single appointment by using sedation - without
  compromising your health or quality of the
  results.
• Not all states regulate the practice of sedation
  dentistry, although more states are starting to
  do so in order to ensure patient safety. There
  are also different levels of sedation dentistry.
  You can call your state dental board and find out
  if sedation dentistry is regulated, discuss
  different levels of sedation, and perhaps also
  obtain the names of dentists in your area who are
  certified.

4. How well does the proposed treatment plan suit
you?

• You must also make sure if your dentist is
  flexible in what he/she is offering. Many times,
  experience is not the only way out! The result is
  that the proposed plan might not be the best one
  for you - from the standpoint of your oral
  health, your desired outcome, or your budget. A
  cosmetic dentist who is adept and experienced at
  cosmetic dentistry can strike a good balance
  between outcome and budget, without compromising
  your oral health.
• If you're feeling discouraged because you were
  presented with a plan that was completely out of
  your budget (even with a payment plan), then
  don't be afraid to look for another qualified
  cosmetic dentist. You don't have to sacrifice
  quality in order to experience improvements in
  your smile. Continue to look for an experienced
  cosmetic dentist. Ask whether the dentist would
  be willing to work with you in devising a plan
  that suits your budget.

5. Are you offered flexible payment options?

• Do not be afraid to ask whether the cosmetic
  dentistry procedures you're interested in are or
  are not covered by your specific insurance plan.
  Because many procedures performed today are
  elective, your dental insurance may not pay for
  the procedures you want. That is why, asking
  about the available payment options can be wise
  when you are in need of extensive treatment
  plans.
• FLOSS Mcallen provides a wide variety of dental
  treatments.
