Cosmetic dentistry is an incredibly broad and sophisticated field of dentistry, with a wide variety of treatments under its umbrella. If you’re interested in changing the way your smile looks, understanding everything that the field has to offer can be incredibly difficult.

If you have a cosmetic dental consultation coming up, that’s your opportunity to learn more about both the dentist you’re talking to and the field as a whole. Here are some questions that you may want to ask at one of these consultations.

What Treatment Works Best For Me?

One of the most overwhelming things about a cosmetic consultation is understanding each of the different treatments and how they’re used. Thankfully, you don’t necessarily have to do that. All you need to do is understand those treatments that are relevant to you.

If you have something that you don’t really love about your smile, bring it up to your dentist. They’ll be able to give you an idea of what treatment is best suited to you.

What Work Have You Done In The Past?

Of course, another thing that you can do at a dental consultation is to understand your dentist a little bit better and to see what they’re capable of. Most dentists take promotional photos of their work for this reason.

If you want to see what your dentist is capable of or what any given treatment looks like, these kinds of photos will be enormously helpful. A good dentist who takes pride in their work will be happy to show them to you!

How Long Will Treatment Last?

Once you have a fairly good idea of what treatment you’re interested in, you should ask your dentist what the details of the procedure will actually look like. One of the biggest parts of that is understanding how long you can expect the results to last.

Some cosmetic treatments, like veneers, are irreversible and will need to be replaced when they’re damaged. It’s best to know that sort of thing before getting them so you know what you’re in for.

You can ask your dentist these and any other questions that may come to mind—they’ll be happy to tell you anything you need to be put at ease!
