There are many criteria for choosing a great cosmetic dentist.First, go to their website. Look especially for examples of before and after photos so that you can see if you like their style of cosmetic dentistry.Next, see what kind of post dental school advanced training they have had? There are a number of institutes that teach advanced concepts in cosmetic dentistry. The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies has an extremely good reputation, and one that I personally attended.Also, what cosmetic dentistry organizations are they a member of? AACD and ACE are good cosmetic dentistry organizations.You should ask how many years they have been in practice?How many veneer cases have they done?What lab they use?If they have achieved any advanced cosmetic dentistry accreditation?But most of all, use your "gut feeling". Do you trust the dentist? Does he listen to you very carefully? Is he going to involve you in the design of your veneers and allow you to choose the color, or is he dogmatic and expect you to just do everything "his way"?You might want to look at the blog below for more information.
Definititely the before/after pictures will give you a very good idea of how the dentist works. He should have experience in cosmetic dentistry and if he or she does, then they should have documented pictures of their work. I hope this helps. Thank you.
