What would you like to explore?
Color, shape and the appearance of a smile are possible topics for a cosmetic conversation. A dentist should assess your oral health and explain whether a particular option is appropriate.
Look beyond one possibility
Ask how an option compares with alternatives, including doing nothing. Find out what maintenance, follow-up and costs may be involved before making a decision.
Questions to bring
What is being recommended, and why? What are the limitations? Who would provide the care? What does the complete cost include? Clear answers matter more than a dramatic promise.
