Who Should Consider Cosmetic Dental Services

Who Should Consider Cosmetic Dental Services from Alan S. Levy, DDS in Tarzana, CAAlmost anyone who wants to improve their smile can benefit from cosmetic dental services. Today's technology allows dentists to improve teeth' shape, color, and alignment and even fix imperfections in the enamel and gumline. If there is something you want to change about your teeth, chances are you can. Discover the potential of cosmetic dentistry services and learn if you are a good candidate.

Overview of cosmetic dental services

There is a procedure to remedy almost any cosmetic dental concern. Choosing the right procedure depends on what the patient wants to change. Here are some common cosmetic procedures and what they can address:

  • Teeth whitening. Applying chemicals to the teeth to reduce stains and brighten teeth.
  • Teeth straightening. Using braces or clear aligners to align the smile.
  • Gum contouring. Reduces excessive gingival display or a “gummy smile.”
  • Dental bonding. Using tooth-colored composite resin to fix imperfections in teeth.
  • Dental veneers. Applying tooth-colored shells to the front of teeth to produce a bright, white, and uniform smile.

These procedures can be performed alone or as part of a smile makeover plan. The dentist works with each patient to determine which cosmetic dental services fit their goals.

Who should consider cosmetic dentistry?

In addition to wanting to enhance the smile, the following qualities make someone a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry:

Good dental health

Anyone considering cosmetic dental services should ensure their teeth and gums are healthy. Many procedures require patients to resolve any gum issues or tooth decay before beginning treatment. The dentist will discuss with the patient what kind of dental work they need before the procedure.

Realistic expectations

As with any cosmetic procedure, people tend to have expectations. The patient must clearly understand what results they can expect from the procedure. Having unrealistic expectations can lead to dissatisfaction with the procedure.

Compliance with before and after instructions

There are typically a certain amount of things the patient must do to be ready for a procedure. In addition, after the procedure is complete, there are instructions to follow as well. Adhering to these instructions can impact the results. Therefore, anyone considering cosmetic dental services must follow instructions to avoid side effects and get the most out of their procedure.

Commitment to dental health

Overall, a commitment to dental health is also a commitment to doing what needs to be done to maintain the results of cosmetic dental procedures. That is why the best candidates for cosmetic dental services are often those who already take good care of their teeth. Those who follow the basic dental hygiene guidelines and the guidelines required to maintain the results of their cosmetic dental work tend to be the happiest with their results.
