Initially when the term cosmetic dentist was being bandied about, I was pretty skeptical. I thought, “Isn’t every dentist supposed to prepare his fillings cosmetically? All fillings are supposed to look good right? So what’s the big deal of being a cosmetic dentist?”
Well, that’s where almost every one goes wrong. Dentists do need to be artistically inclined to get the tiny procedures they do to be really accurate. In fact many dentists are really good with different artistic hobbies. But not every London dentist is a cosmetic dentist.
The situation is also slightly difficult with no professional degree as such awarded to only cosmetic dentists. Well here are a few ways by which you can recognize a professional cosmetic dentist from a general dentist.
1. Most cosmetic dentists carry specific recommendations or Dental Continued Education Degrees on their clinic walls. Make sure you take a look at them check out specialties. Ask for recommendations from friends and family who have had really good cosmetic dental stuff done.
2. Cosmetic dentist has to address the patients needs for the job .So patients needs do come first. A good cosmetic dentist will discuss the patients’ needs completely before even taking a look at the patients’ teeth.
3. Smile design is a really important study as related to cosmetic dentistry .For most dentists learning about tooth opacity and reflections of tooth color can take up to ten years of clinical experience. So it’s not just enough to attend lectures, clinical experience is a must. Ask the dentist you have selected for references and pictures before you star with the work.
