How can cosmetic dental treatments alter the appearance of my smile?
Cosmetic dental care consists of a wide variety of treatments, such as veneers and crowns, that treat issues with your teeth and help you put your best smile forward. When beginning their cosmetic dental treatment journey, some patients start to think about the cost, while others consider the time treatment will take. Still others consider if cosmetic dentistry is really worth it.
All of these are valid questions, and it is worth having a discussion with your dentist over them. Your dentist is the best person to give you advice on cosmetic dentistry and the right procedures for you. On that note, here are three worthwhile questions to ask yourself before fully committing to a cosmetic dental procedure.
Will I feel better?
One of the first questions you should ask yourself regarding any cosmetic procedure is if it will make you feel better. That is to say, will you gain enough self-confidence for the procedure to be worth it. For many people, self-confidence is the driving force behind even considering cosmetic dental treatment. Having great teeth could well be worth the investment. But make sure to be completely honest with yourself about how such a procedure will truly make you feel.
Am I unhappy with my teeth?
Whether or not a cosmetic dental procedure will make you feel better in the long run, you should also consider whether or not you're currently happy with the state of your teeth. Ask yourself, whether it's getting Invisalign treatment later in life or opting for professional teeth whitening procedures, if it's worth the investment when you smile at yourself in the mirror.
How much will it cost?
One of the first factors you should consider is if you have the money, or the insurance, to even have a cosmetic procedure done in the first place. Some dental clinics have options available for you if you don't have insurance, such as financing options and/or a dental savings plan to help afford treatment. Even if you don't have the money ready to go, the various options available to you should be an excellent jumping-off point.
