A Conversation with a Cosmetic Dentist
“All cosmetic dentists are the same, right?”
“Wrong.”
“But don’t they all just look in your mouth, tell you to “say ah”, and poke around for a few minutes?”
“No.” [grin]
“Then how is one dentist different from another?”
If this sounds like a conversation you have had with your cosmetic dentist, you are ahead of the curve. But chances are good that you have not considered why one cosmetic dentist may be better able to fulfill your needs than another, much less asked how to choose a dentist.
If you are considering a multiple-procedure treatment like a smile makeover, which can create the smile of your dreams, it is especially important to understand how the right cosmetic dentist can make a critical difference in your outcome.
Every Detail Counts
You may think that excellence and expertise are only necessary if you are considering an extensive or expensive procedure, but every dental restoration can have a big impact on your life. For example, a tooth-colored filling may seem like a simple procedure, but one that is created or placed poorly can create and increase problems with that tooth in the future. Decay could creep beneath it; it could loosen and fall out; or it could be made the wrong color for your teeth.
Every licensed dentist must complete the required minimum training, but the pursuit of additional training is what makes one dentist stand out above the rest. For this reason, Dr. John Sarris has dedicated himself to extensive, additional training in cosmetic dentistry, and is now a graduate of the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI).
Understanding and Training
Today, many dentists offer some cosmetic dentistry because of the increased public awareness of it and its popularity. They may offer composite fillings or teeth whitening, but that does not mean they have completed the extra training to become qualified cosmetic dentists. This can lead to sub-par restorations that interfere with your bite, look less than attractive, or do not last as long as they should.
Finding a cosmetic dentist who offers truly metal-free restorations can save you the cost and danger of later having potentially hazardous materials removed from your mouth, like metal-amalgam fillings that are about half mercury, a known toxin.
A dental graduate school teaches a general dentist new skills, such as working with porcelain and a more preventive outlook, proactive rather than reactive. It provides rigorous theoretical training and hands-on experience. It helps each dentist develop their eye for color, balance, and facial shape, so that they can design effective and attractive smile makeovers and dental restorations.
