Questions to Ask Your Cosmetic Dentist

The process of choosing a cosmetic dentist can be difficult. Having a list of questions to ask potential cosmetic dentists prior to your consultation can help you stay focused on your goals and ensure you receive the answers necessary to make an informed decision.

In assessing your cosmetic dentist’s experience, some questions you may want to ask include:

• Where did you receive your dental training?
• Did you receive additional training from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI)?
• Do you specialize in specific procedures?
• Can I view before-and-after photos and patient testimonials?

You will also want to make sure you feel comfortable with your cosmetic dentist and that you receive a thorough understanding of your procedure and associated risks. Some questions you might want to ask are:

• How long will my procedure take?
• What exactly does the procedure involve?
• What is recovery from my procedure like?
• Are there any risks or complications associated with my procedure?

The decision to get any cosmetic dental procedure is a big one, and you need to feel good about your choice to help ensure a satisfactory experience.
