The most important place to start when considering cosmetic dentistry treatment is with your cosmetic objectives. Why do you want cosmetic dentistry treatment? What about the appearance of your teeth would you like to change? Perhaps you want a more symmetrical appearance to your teeth. Maybe there are some noticeable grooves or gaps between teeth. If you want a whiter, brighter smile, then you may consider professional teeth whitening. Creating an objective list with your dentist helps you pick a place to start.
Once you have your list of objectives in place you’ll want to consider your budget as well. How much are you able to spend on these cosmetic procedures? Maybe you want to complete cosmetic treatment in phases. Your dentist can help you accommodate specific budgets and timelines for treatment. Perhaps you’re wanting to complete cosmetic treatment by a certain date, say, before a wedding. Letting your dentist know about these factors can help them set up a timeline.
An often-overlooked factor when creating a cosmetic treatment plan is your oral health. While cosmetic procedures focus on the esthetics of your smile, you still need healthy teeth to work with. If your teeth are suffering from tooth decay, infection, or you’ve developed gum disease, your dentist will want to treat these issues first before moving forward with cosmetic treatment. Nothing is more important than the health of your teeth!
