What Questions Should You Ask Your Cosmetic Dentist?

• Am I a good candidate for this cosmetic treatment?

3 Tips to Prepare for Your Smile Makeover Consultation

Here are some additional tips to help you prepare for your consultation and smile makeover.

Keep Up with Your Oral Hygiene

Before you are able to get cosmetic dental work, your mouth needs to be in optimal health. If you don’t have ideal oral hygiene now, you could develop an issue that could keep you from getting the procedures that you are hoping for. Prioritize your oral hygiene regimen before, during, and after your treatment to get timely results.

Bring Photos

The final result of your treatment will be personalized to you, but it is a good idea to bring some inspiration photos to your dentist. This will give them a better idea of what exactly you are wanting your smile to look like in the end. They will also be able to discuss all the different treatments that you could potentially benefit from.

Consider Your Financial Options

Talking about payments and financial options probably isn’t your favorite part of the consultation, but it is necessary while planning your smile makeover. During your consultation, this is the perfect time to talk about any required deposits, payment plan options, and expenses that are involved in the procedures that you are looking to get.

Getting a smile makeover is exciting, but there is still a lot of preparation involved. By asking questions now and using the tips above, you will be showing off the smile of your dreams in just a matter of time!
