Which Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure Is Right for You?
There are a few factors to consider when considering cosmetic dentistry. Not all procedures will be appropriate for you, and if you have severe dental concerns that might eliminate a treatment from the start. Before any cosmetic dentistry can be performed, the health and integrity of your jawbone, your teeth, and your gums must all be evaluated.
For Burch Dental to begin creating your ideal treatment plan, we start with a consultation appointment. In this visit, we will complete several examinations to evaluate your mouth in its current state. These exams may include:
- A comprehensive oral exam.
- X-rays, the types ranging depending on your specific need.
- Impressions of your teeth.
- A bite analysis and a TMJ analysis.
- Radiographs
- Periodontal, gum, and oral cancer exam.
After the required exams are completed, Burch Dental will create a cosmetic treatment plan perfect for achieving your desired smile. You may require more extensive restorations due to a loss of functionality or the spread of disease or decay resulting in extractions.
If you have healthy teeth you may only be looking for a restoration option that covers abnormally shaped teeth or stains. When it comes to cosmetic dental procedures, every patient is unique. It is essential for cosmetic dental plans to be tailored to your individual circumstances of your case to achieve the best possible result.
