3 Things to Look for When Choosing a Cosmetic Dentist

No matter what your health issues are, whether you have gum disease or a crocked overbite, if you’re considering cosmetic dentistry then you want to find the best. At California Dental Group we are confident that you will find the experience, service, and quality you’re looking for. We also understand that you may want to consider all your options. Read on to learn the three things we believe you should search for in a cosmetic dentist and then contact us at (800) 407-0161 with questions or to schedule an appointment.

  1. Ask for referrals
  2. If you have parents, friends, or co-workers who have had great experiences with cosmetic dentistry then you can always ask them for their opinion. Ask them not just what their experience was like but what they both liked and didn’t like about the dentist they saw. Then check review sites to see how companies are rated. Once you have an idea, you can also cross reference the dentist with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, which requires very high standards.

  3. Ask to see previous work
  4. You can always ask a dentist to see examples of their previous cosmetic work. You’ll find that most dental offices are more than happy to show you before and after photos of patients who’ve agreed to have their photos shared. If you want previous work from California Dental Group, just give us a call and ask at (800) 407-0161.

  5. Inquire about what services they can offer
  6. Not all cosmetic dentists can help you with every possible service. For example, if you are looking for composite fillings, then find a dentist who has experience with them. If interest involves porcelain fixed bridges, then follow a dentist who can help. If you’re searching for porcelain veneers, then you should choose a dentist who works with them frequently. No matter what procedure you’re considering, whether it’s teeth whitening or something more complicated, experience matters.

Other factors to keep in mind

While the above three issues are specific to cosmetic dentistry, there are of course other practical concerns to keep in mind. For example, is the dentist you’re considering conveniently located for your work or home? The good thing about California Dental Group is that we have many offices so we’re almost always convenient to our patients.

You’ll want to consider which dentist makes you feel comfortable, and which have flexible hours and flexible policies. You’ll consider what insurance they accept, if they have payment plans available, and if they have special coupons available for cosmetic dentistry.

If you’re ready to learn more about your cosmetic dentistry options then we urge you to contact California Dental Group at (800) 407-0161 right away. We will begin with a complete exam and cleaning. Once we have taken a good look at the issues and listened to what you want, we can come up with a treatment plan to get you where you want to go. It all starts with a phone call so call us today!
