Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures - Dental Minute with Steven T. Cutbirth, DDS

Dental Bridge Similar to implants and partial dentures, dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. Missing teeth affects appearance, can cause a change in bite, shifting of the teeth, risk for periodontal disease and a higher chance of tooth decay. Dental bridges have a price range from $1,000 to $3,000 per tooth. The same goes with putting in braces because your teeth will be moving and you need a strong body for it to cooperate with you. 3. Get ready for the pain You will be given anesthesia when you go through tooth extractions so don t worry. The kind of pain that you need to brace yourself with is when you get braces. Cosmetic dentistry do not just take care of the health of our teeth, it also takes care of the way it looks. This means that the procedures that patients of cosmetic dentistry have to go through do not just involve one or two simple procedures like cleaning and extraction, it might also involve whitening of the teeth and putting braces. So check it out before signing up. 3. Hospitals and medical organizations Because the industry is growing, chances are cosmetic dentists in the country have already formed their own organization. This organization can actually give you a referral on who among their members can do your teeth. Another way to finding a great cosmetic dentist is to go to hospitals and check their cosmetic dentists there. A great set of teeth will do wonders to a person s appearance. 2. Salespeople Their job is to sell products and part of the package of selling is to have a pleasing personality, someone who is fun to be with and yes, great to look at. Call it shallow but don t you want to talk to people who are pleasing to the eye? When it comes to your appearance, you really want something that will really give you the best smile. So if you are thinking of getting a cosmetic dentistry procedure, check with your friends and with hospitals for referrals. Look into the credentials and check for training and experience. Make sure also that the dentist has a license to practice and do the procedures.
