What to expect at your cosmetic dental appointment - A typical first visit.

A Thorough Dental Examination.

We believe a comprehensive first exam is the best way to begin the process of obtaining a healthy, beautiful smile. In order to ensure success in our cosmetic dental procedures, we take the necessary time to fully and thoroughly evaluate your present dental condition. Our goal is to give guests the necessary information and education so that they may continue to enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile for years to come. Here is what to expect.

We will take any necessary dental x-rays with digital radiography (which uses 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays).

We will perform a full-mouth periodontal probing to determine if you have any signs of gum disease. We will also create a full chart of all your teeth and the restorations presently in place and note areas of disease, bleeding and other problems.

We will perform a cancer screening intra-orally checking the tongue, cheeks and surrounding soft tissues.

We will perform a complete cavity check tooth-by-tooth.

We will begin a thorough evaluation of your occlusion (how your teeth meet).

Your Second Visit:

Typically a week or so after your initial cosmetic dental exam (unless your visits have been combined into one visit), we will schedule a follow-up visit. You will have your teeth hygienically cleaned. After this, you will meet with one of our cosmetic doctors.

Your Third Visit:

After we have provided a complete examination, hygienic cleaning and presented a treatment plan, you may want to get going right away on getting a beautiful new smile, you may want to have restorative work done, or you may want to think about it. Whatever you decide, we’re here to work with you and help with getting a healthy beautiful smile that you are proud to show others.

Although most patients do come for cosmetic work, we also perform general dental procedures, including hygienic cleanings, fillings etc. The difference is that we practice dentistry with the final results in mind, so we place an emphasis on making you look great.

As for costs and whether they are more than other cosmetic dentists, our fees are comparable to those at premier dental boutiques nationally. If you are price shopping for cosmetic dental care, bare this in mind – just like all restaurants, cars or hotel rooms are not the same and you would never purchase one because it was the cheapest one you could find – all cosmetic dental offices are not alike. With such a high level of artistry, technology and science needed for optimal results, there are at least two healthcare professionals you should not skimp on – your brain surgeon and your cosmetic dentist. This is not to say that our office is necessarily higher on the specific treatment you may need. In fact, depending on the procedure, our fees may be lower than other dental practices. We encourage you to experience what separates us from other cosmetic dental practices, before making a life-altering decision based on price alone. We are confident you will agree that our services are value-priced.
