It is the first thing that people notice about you, besides your eyes, which influences how people perceive you. A bright smile is associated with good health, confidence, and happiness, which essentially draws people to you and makes you more successful in your personal and professional relationships. This truth is why any patients visit a cosmetic dentist to learn more about how they can enhance their smiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Preparing for the Initial Visit\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking to restore or improve the health and appearance of your teeth, the first step would be a free cosmetic consultation at a cosmetic dental practice near you. To ensure the best results from your cosmetic dentistry consultation, you should have a good idea of what you want &#8211; your ideal smile &#8211; before approaching the dentist. Generally, you should know:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What shade of white you would like your teeth to be &#8211; natural, ultra-white, in-between\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want your teeth to be in perfect alignment or slightly varied?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you think your smile is toothy, gummy, or awkward in any other way?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What defects do you want to be fixed? &#8211; missing tooth, crooked or misaligned teeth, fractured teeth, stained teeth, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to technological advancements, dentists today have access to tooth-colored dental materials that help to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results. Modern techniques are also less invasive, allowing you to preserve a greater portion of your natural tooth structure during restorations. And with 3D software, your dental team can design your smile and show you the expected results of your treatment plan on a screen before the procedures start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Consultation Process\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A typical cosmetic dental consultation is a brief appointment with the dentist to discuss any issues that you have with your teeth and smile, as well as the various treatments available and the best options for your case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your dental visit will also include a physical examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and dental imaging so the dentist can have a clear look at your teeth. Next, you will establish clear treatment goals based on your needs and concerns. This provides a great opportunity to ask other specific details about procedures you\u2019re interested in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please contact your dental team to learn more about available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markluzaniadds.com\/services\/cosmetic-dentistry\/\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> treatments, and to schedule your appointment. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Your smile plays a big part in your appearance.
