Q: Who can benefit from cosmetic dentistry?
A: Just about anyone who is concerned about his or her appearance can achieve an exciting new look with cosmetic dentistry. From simple tooth reshaping and whitening to full smile rehabilitation, cosmetic dentistry can whiten teeth, close gaps, realign crowded, crooked teeth and create a dazzling new smile that is all yours.
Q: What type of dentistry do you perform the most?
A: While we provide a full range of general dental services, we get the most satisfaction when we can help our patients to achieve the beautiful, healthy smile that they have dreamed of having.
Q: When are you too old for cosmetic dentistry?
A: The simple answer is - never. In fact, cosmetic dentistry is ideal for reversing the effects of wear and aging. Teeth darken with age and even simply whitening your smile can knock years off your appearance. One of our patients, an 87-year-old woman, was unhappy with the effects of time on her once beautiful smile. We discussed various treatment options and she said that she would think about it. A few weeks later she returned for the treatment, which helped to restore a more youthful smile. She was ecstatic with the result and later confided that she had discussed the treatment with her grandchildren who had advised her "Granny, go for it!"
Q: Why should I consider cosmetic dentistry?
A: If you are concerned about any of the following aspects of your smile, cosmetic dentistry can have a powerful, positive effect:
Dark, stained teeth
Chipped or worn teeth
Gummy smile
Hidden teeth |
Gaps between teeth
Crooked, crowded teeth
Unsightly, old silver fillings |
The dentist should be willing to talk to you before beginning any treatment to discuss your problems and concerns. At Wynford Dental Arts we provide an initial half-hour consultation at no charge.
Q: How do I begin?
A: Your first, and most important, step is to choose the right cosmetic dentist to do the work for you.
Q: How do I choose?
A: Although many dentists perform cosmetic dentistry, you have to be sure that the dentist you choose will be right for you. You should look for a dentist with experience and demonstrated skill. The answers to some or all of the following questions should help you to decide:
- How long have you been doing cosmetic dentistry? (Experience develops skill)
- What credentials do you have that recognize your skill in cosmetic dentistry? (Recognition by professional organizations can indicate demonstrated skill)
- Can you show me before and after pictures of treatment that you have performed? (Seeing photos or slides of the dentist's actual work is a good indicator of their skills.
