Right Cosmetic Dentist
A cosmetic dentist can do miracles with your teeth and smile. A perfect set of teeth is an asset which can make you confident. Your beautiful pearly whites are the first thing to be noticed when you smile. Your smile and your teeth make up a good percentage of your facial beauty, so it is reasonable to say someone with a gorgeous smile is considered “attractive”.
What is cosmetic dentistry and what does a cosmetic dentist do
A cosmetic dentist is someone who is trained in cosmetic procedures from teeth whitening to full mouth reconstruction or a complete makeover. Cosmetic dentists have special training in improving the esthetic look of your teeth and smile. They have the enhanced ability to see what is the best tooth shape, size and color for your face. Their profession is intermingled with artistic ability. Cosmetic dentistry is any procedure to enhance your smile and appearance. These consists of several procedures including teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, porcelain or ceramic crowns, Invisalign, tooth-colored fillings, dental implants, straightening and alignment of teeth. Now, even though these procedures are considered “cosmetic”, most of them also are used for restoring health and function as well. So for example, if you have a broken tooth, you may need a crown to restore it. So yes the crown is used to restore the function and health of your tooth in order to save your tooth, but at the same time, it needs to look good too. So sometimes general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry go hand in hand.
Characteristics of a good cosmetic dentist
You may wonder, how do I choose a good cosmetic dentist? Here are some ways you can make sure you find the right cosmetic dentist for you. Then make sure you have written a list of all your questions and concerns to go over with them.
- Artistic. This trait is very much needed for a good cosmetic dentist. He or she must possess the right eye to catch or visualize the end product of his or her work. They must be able to foresee the right fit for your face that will restore your teeth’s perfect condition, or even further enhance its appearance.
- Experienced. A good cosmetic dentist must have gained a lot of experience. This way, they are not prone to trial-and-error. This part makes you worry-free that you will get the best results.
- Skillful. The hands of a cosmetic dentist must be very skillful. They need to know how to handle their patient’s needs and make them feel comfortable. Their hands must also be light and gentle during these procedures.
- Well-equipped. Cosmetic dentists must be well-equipped. There certain procedures that require special equipment in order to get nit only the perfect esthetic but also that it will give you the health and function necessary to last a long time.
- Good listening skills. Your cosmetic dentist should be able to listen to you and understand what you goals are and what you are trying to achieve. Go over the list of questions and concerns you have. You should not feel rushed, make sure all of your questions are answered. Avoid going to a dentist who can’t or won’t take the time to listen to you.

I need a dentist badly!!! My bad teeth are keeping me from smiling as much as I once did. I have a close friend who also needs a dentist as well. It’s very hard for us, because of the payments and everything… We really need dental help though! :-( But thanks to your tips, we have already began to find help! :-)
Tori, you are very welcome. I am assuming, you are not in Los Angeles! I wish I could have helped you and your friend! Well, I hope that you find the right dentist and if you need more help or have any questions, please ask me.
I looked around at other people’s teeth and everybody had them. I think he said, something like they help chew and grind our food.The dentist would probably recommend a crown for this desire.
I had cosmetic dentistry when I was 18 in order to “smooth out” the bottom of my teeth. Unfortunately the person I went with ended up chipping my bottom tooth a little bit, so definitely research ahead of time and choose a quality provider!
Abbie, sorry to hear that!
I never realized that there were so many things I needed to look for in a cosmetic dentist. Honestly I thought most dentists were the same. Very informative, makes me a little nervous to what else I am not aware of.
No, all dentist are definitely not the same. It is very important that you do your research before choosing one.
Wouldn’t dentures be considered cosmetic surgery as well? I can use this, my smile needs a huge improvement as well.
Latifah, Dentures on their own, no. But if there are extractions to be done and so theat can be considered surgical. Then also if you combined dentures with implants, that also is considered as surgery. Please let me know if that makes sense or if you have any other questions.
If we’ve need a dental cosmetics we must go to the Dentist Clinic which have a good Artistict feeling operator, have enough Experienced about dental cosmetics, Skillful to applied cosmetic material, also the equipment must up to date and hygienic and have good listening skill operator
I previously had some work done on my teeth and was not satisfied with the results. After reading this article I know exactly what I should be looking for. You touched on the questions and concerns one should have and ask. Thank you for the great advice.
Rose, sorry to hear your results you had was not satisfactory. I am glad my advice can be of help to you in the future.
I hadn’t really considered a cosmetic dentist much in the past but have been pondering it lately. This article, with it’s information on what cosmetic dentists focus on, will be a good resource in considering this. I hadn’t considered that they could help with straightening and alignment of teeth.
This gave me a whole new perspective on cosmetic dentistry. I really appreciate the information and advice.
Omar, you are welcome and thank you for visiting my blog.
A friend of mine got her teeth whitened few days ago. I also want to get for my teeth but I really worried If it would be perfect for me or not. After reading about cosmetic dentistry I learn lots of new thing. I think it is very important for healthy teeth. Thanks for the article!
TAnia, you are welcome. I think teeth whitening is good for everyone, but just make sure if you have sensitive teeth, I wouldn’t suggest the in-office teeth whitening.
Throughout the years I’ve been amazed on how my local dentist, or in this case, Cosmetic Scientist has greatly improved my son’s teeth. We all know how rough our little men can get, and our dentist fixed him up for a “fair” price. They gave him a thing called a “cap” which replaced the missing tooth until it grew back. I myself, didn’t notice any difference when he smiled so I was really pleased of the cosmetic scientist’s attributes.
I have had bad teeth for many years and am always self conscious of smiling around others. Thanks to this info I believe I might actual be able to look for a outstanding cosmetic dentist to help!
Yes Roy, you shouldn’t feel self conscious about your smile anymore because there are so many different cosmetic dental procedures that can be done for your individual needs.
Thanks, this post help us to finding best services for our oral care.

There would be fewer celebrities if it wasn’t for cosmetic dentistry. Glad this article is teaching the importance of having a healthy smile.

Many people I have talked to have said that the first thing they notice about a person is their smile. A smile is contagious and can allow people’s true beauty to shine! Great article!!
Yes, Kara. You are absolutely correct. Thanks for your comment.
I just quit smoking and my teeth are in need of some work. This was great to read and now i am very informed of my scenario and my options.
Hi Mike. It’s great to hear that you quit smoking:) I am glad my article was helpful to you.

That is good post…MY teeth are discolored from cigarettes…so I lost my smile. can you do whiten them????
Yes, Jefferson. You can definitely whiten your teeth and if you are in my area, I would be happy to do it for you.
I hadn’t actually considered cosmetic dentistry as “art” – but you are right, it is! I am curious though, how much experience does one have to have to be “experienced”??
Hi Kate. I would say it is different from denist to dentist, but on average atleast 5 years.
It seems like there are always new ways to fix up your teeth! I have been interested in Invisalign for quite awhile, but I also have brittle teeth. Seeing as they are crooked, I’ve always opted for porcelain fillings when I can. And from the other work I’ve had done, I honestly feel like a dentist who cares how you look understands the importance of comfort and appearance of the work done. I’ve more crowns than royalty! :)
Katheyn, thanks or your input. Plus, now you can say you are royalty!
