We find that there’s something about the nature of cosmetic care that leaves patients feeling hesitant to ask certain questions. In many instances, patients fear seeming rude by asking their cosmetic dentist about different aspects of treatments and beautifying one’s smile. To help you feel more comfortable, so you can then feel fully informed and ready to make choices for yourself, let’s begin at the beginning. Consider questions that may make you cringe (but that we are happy to answer) and bring us your own additional inquiries.
Will Your Treatments Really Look Natural?
You might worry you are going to offend your cosmetic dentist if you ask this. After all, it’s as though you’re implying our practice might offer treatments that could provide better results than they do. Don’t worry, this is a question we receive all the time and it’s a very good one, too. We appreciate your attention to detail and understand you may wonder how we can achieve natural looking finishes. We are happy to discuss treatments, materials, and processes, so you feel confident about your future smile.
Why Can’t I Just Use A DIY Option?
Again, we find that patients feel they are undermining our efforts when they ask about DIY options. We understand that when it comes to budget and convenience, our world is becoming much more self-sufficient and informed. Feel free to ask your cosmetic dentist about why it’s so important to choose professional cosmetic care over do-it-yourself solutions (which are often not solutions at all). We will be happy to explain the distinguishing factors, so you feel wonderful about moving forward with professional treatment.
