You may be ready and excited to move forward with your cosmetic dentistry treatments only to hear from us that it’s not time yet. What could cause this to happen? How long are you going to have to wait? Is your future, dazzling smile forever out of reach? Fortunately, when something puts your care plan on hold, it’s an issue we can help take care of. Regarding the particulars of postponement and what you need to know, we are happy to share some insightful details. Rest assured, a beautiful smile is still in the cards.
You Might Need Preventive Or Restorative Care
There are some issues that can crop up, which will cause us to postpone your cosmetic dentistry treatment. This is because it’s always our priority to protect the health of your smile. When something is wrong, going ahead with cosmetic treatments can become detrimental to your oral health. Instead, we treat the problem first and then address the esthetics of your grin. Here are some issues that can come up:
- You might show signs of bruxism. We will suggest bruxism treatment to ensure future cosmetic care isn’t damaged.
- You may have tooth decay or gum disease. We will suggest treating these issues, restoring your oral health, and then going ahead with cosmetic changes.
What You Should Know
It’s important that you recognize something: Our dental practice offers comprehensive dental care. If it turns out that you are not ready for cosmetic dentistry treatments just yet, we can quickly help you prepare by offering the preventive or restorative care you need for a healthy mouth. As a result, you can become ready for whitening, bonding, contouring, or veneers!
