Dental Visits for Cosmetic Dentistry can help you get that gorgeous smile you've always wanted. The best approach to determining the cost for your smile makeover is to schedule an initial appointment that will include computerized cosmetic imaging and a smile analysis. In this visit, we can meet each other and discuss your concerns and desired smile improvements. We will also provide an overview of how we might be able to help you reach the dental goals you feel are important. After we perform an examination, we will be able to discuss the specific treatment plan of action and the specific cost of the smile makeover that we have prepared especially for you. We'll also tell you about our no-money-up-front financing plan that we offer to all qualified patients. This makes getting a gorgeous smile more affordable than ever before!
There are a number of ways to analyze your smile. We regularly use two different approaches ?the emotional evaluation and the objective analysis. Below is a simple list of questions using each approach that you can do on your own in the convenience of your own home.
The Emotional Smile Evaluation
The emotional smile evaluation is based on each individual's subjective perceptions of his or her smile. The questions below are designed to help reveal a person's inner feelings about how their smile affects their self image, how it impacts interactions with others, and how it influences the quality of their relationships.
Do you love the appearance of your teeth and smile?
- Do you ever turn your face when smiling or hold your hand up in front of your mouth when talking to others?
- Have you ever found yourself looking at models or other people with beautiful smiles and wishing you had a similar smile?
- Have you figured out a way to use your lips to cover any aspect of your smile?
- Are you embarrassed to visit a cosmetic dentist due to the condition of your teeth or the length of time since your last visit to a dentist?
- How does your smile make you feel? Confident?
- Do you shy away from showing a full smile in front of other people, especially strangers?
- When taking pictures, do you tend to smile with your lips closed instead of flashing a happy smile?
- Have you ever held back a laugh because you felt uncomfortable about your smile?
- How would a beautiful new smile make you feel?
- What would you like to change about your smile?
The Objective Smile Analysis
For the objective analysis, the best thing is for you to stand in front of a mirror mounted on a wall. Now, smile at yourself using your "normal" smile. Next, look at the mirror and think of a hilarious moment in your life and give a big, laughing smile. This big smile is probably a much larger smile than you feel comfortable using much of the time if you are not happy with your teeth. When your smile is improved, however, your big smile appears much more spontaneously because you look (and feel) great! So let's figure out what's holding your big smile back -- what it is that bothers you about your teeth.
- Are all of your teeth brilliant white or are they somewhat yellow, dark, or stained?
- Are there spaces between any of your teeth?
- Are you missing any of your teeth?
- Do you have teeth that are crooked, uneven, or out of line?
- Do the biting edges of your upper teeth follow the curvature of your upper lip?
- Do any of your teeth appear short and fat or too small or too large?
- Do your teeth (as a group) slant one way or another?
- Is the midline of your two front teeth centered with your face and nose?
- Are the edges of your canine teeth too long, sharp, or look out of line?
- Do you grind your teeth or are any of the biting edges on your teeth chipped or worn down?
- Do you have a "gummy" smile -- showing too much gum tissue or having gums that are too thick?
- Are your gums even and in line and symmetrical or irregularly shaped -- higher on some teeth and lower on others?
- Have your gums receded or do they appear red or puffy?
- Do you have any gray, black or silver (mercury) dental fillings in your teeth?
- Do you have any old crowns that have dark edges at the top or that don't really look natural?
If you answered yes to ANY of the above questions, we can help give you a better, more beautiful smile. Read on to learn more about our cosmetic dentistry treatments available to you.
Sometimes called aesthetic dentistry, cosmetic dentistry can be described as any one or more dental treatments that improve the beauty of your smile. And a beautiful, more alluring smile can be the beginning of a more successful lifestyle for you.
Cosmetic dentistry can include a variety of techniques, from re-contouring the teeth or gums to placing veneers on a number of teeth. Although many general dentists may claim to practice cosmetic dentistry, it is truly an art form taking years of training, education and experience not taught in regular dental schools to master. It is grounded in the healthy enhancement, restoration and maintenance of a customized smile makeover. To obtain optimal results, it requires the application of advanced scientific techniques, skills, materials, and high tech equipment.
Since patient comfort is a crucial part of our cosmetic dental treatments, our clinical staff and doctors go the extra mile to make a visit to a Dental Visits Center for Cosmetic Dentistry a whole new positive experience. Of course, we offer nitrous oxide, movies, music, and a number of unexpected amenities, but most importantly "good ol' TLC."
