Here are four considerations to take in account when you are contemplating cosmetic dental procedures such as veneers, dental implants or teeth whitening.
1) Your primary care dentist may already offer cosmetic dental services. Contact your dental office to determine what services your current dentists provides and how frequently they perform the procedures. That way you’ll understand the experience level of your personal dentist and whether your provider performs cosmetic dental procedures daily or just a few times each month.
2) If you prefer a specialist, ask your primary care dentists for recommendations. You may also consult with friends, family members or colleagues to find out more about any cosmetic dentists they recommend in your local area.
3) Once you obtain recommendations, research potential cosmetic dentists you are considering. Many times you will find information on their websites such as the types of procedures performed, average rates and even before & after pictures. Check the qualifications and numbers of years in dentistry as well.
4) Research cost. Cosmetic surgery isn’t covered by insurance for many patients although some procedures are. For instance, some insurance companies cover veneers in order to reduce long-term dental care costs. Don’t assume. Call your insurer to find out what is covered by your policy, and also ask the dentist about payment options for those procedures that insurance will not cover.
The next step is to schedule a consultation appointment so that the dentist may go over your options and help you make the right decision for your needs.
