Once you’ve made the decision to have a smile makeover, the next task on your list is to find the right cosmetic dentist in the local Phoenix or Scottsdale area. When it comes to straightening, brightening or otherwise perfecting the smile you have always dreamed of, it’s important to find a skilled practitioner. In this post, we will cover some of the factors you should consider when choosing the right cosmetic dentist to fit your particular needs.
Professional Training and Memberships
While all dentists receive cosmetic dentistry training as part of their education, the individual dentist must choose to obtain any additional training beyond his or her core education. Never hesitate to ask any dentist you are considering using whether he or she has obtained advanced cosmetic dentistry training and experience. Any cosmetic dentist you consider working with should also maintain a membership in a professional cosmetic dentistry association.
Types of Available Services
Prior to embarking on a treatment plan, it’s also important for you to investigate the types of services offered. The cosmetic dentist you choose should offer all of the services you need so that you do not need to seek assistance from an outside specialist, which could lengthen your overall treatment plan.
Case Studies
Perhaps the best way to gain an idea of the type of results you can expect to receive is to see examples of before and after images from past work. Most professional cosmetic dentists provide such before and after images to let prospective patients know exactly what they can expect in their own case.
Reviews from Real Patients
Check out the office’s online reviews to read through feedback from prior patients. If the office does not provide links to online reviews, you can usually find such information on sites like Facebook, Yelp, and Google.
