If there is such a thing. I have a crown and veneers that are slightly mismatched and mishapen. I have never been happy with them (understatement) and would like to have them redone. Can my regular dentist do the work or should I see a "specialist?" How do I find someone who truly specializes in cosmetic dentistry? I live in New York City and there's a dentist on every corner and they all advertise as "Costmetic Dentists."

It's up to each individual dentist to seek out as much post-graduate training in cosmetics as he or she desires. I would suggest you research the amount of training and experience that any dentist you are considering has. Is he or she at least a "sustaining member" (as opposed to "general member") of the American Academy...
