When you smile at someone, it usually prompts that person to smile right back. But what if your teeth are cracked, chipped, missing, and/or discolored? It is doubtful that you will feel like smiling in the first place.

Now, with the help of cosmetic dentistry, you can make your smile shine like that of a celebrity!

The popularity of cosmetic dentistry really began to take notice with its growth in the celebrity market; and some of the most requested cosmetic dental treatments today include:

With the notable advance in smile enhancement technology, nearly everyone can undergo a smile makeover. Yet, the power of the perfect smile comes with a price tag. So if you are going to spend lavishly on cosmetic dental work, it is important that you know what to look for in a cosmetic dentist.

Some of the questions to find answers to during the initial consultation with an oral care provider are:

  • Has he or she received a Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training (CCST) from the General Dental Council (GDC) in a particular branch of dentistry (meaning that he or she can be referred to as a "specialist")?
  • Did he or she graduate from an accredited dental school approved by the American Dental Association (ADA)?
  • Is he or she board certified? (You can verify accreditation by visiting the ADA Web site: www.ada.org)
  • Does he or she have privileges in a hospital setting and/or in private practice?

Before scheduling an initial consultation with a cosmetic dentist, be sure to evaluate your goals and expectations with the particular procedure you desire. During consultation, a qualified cosmetic dentist can help you decide which solution will suit your needs.
