CHOOSING A COSMETIC DENTIST

Dr. Villadiego is an accredited cosmetic dentist and member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.”

When your smile looks great, feels great, and works perfectly, you’re naturally inclined to have a more youthful appearance.

How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist

Wondering how to choose a cosmetic dentist? Over the past few years, there has been a dramatic influx of “cosmetic dentists” into the field so much so that in the industry, being a “cosmetic dentist” is almost a cliché . . . passé’. Why? Because these days, any general/family dentist who does things as simple as whitening teeth, can claim to be a cosmetic dentist.

Unlike many other medical specialists, dentists are not required to have any advanced education or training to practice cosmetic dentistry. In fact, the requirements for practicing Cosmetic Dentistry vary from state to state. As a result, some cosmetic dentists may not have undergone any advanced training (see also, corporate dentistry vs private practice).

A Guide To Help You Find A Cosmetic Dentist

The confusion to find a cosmetic dentist has grown out of the American Dental Association’s choice not to consider cosmetic dentistry as an approved ADA specialty like oral surgeons, orthodontists, periodontists, and so on. Additionally, there is no professionally required course of study

that dentists must complete before being allowed to advertise themselves as cosmetic dentists! For this reason, selecting a cosmetic dentist can be a difficult and confusing process. To make things easier, we offer some tips we believe will help the selection process.

Tips On The Selection Process

Selecting a cosmetic dentist can be a difficult and confusing process. However, if you want to achieve the results you desire, choosing the right cosmetic dentist is crucial! So, take your time when considering any cosmetic dental procedure. Then, set your goals and determine the best options available for achieving them.

Check for Credentials

Search for a dentist who has post-graduate education and training in cosmetic or restorative dentistry from a reputable institution. Next, check to see if they have a membership in professional associations, such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. The AACD website is an excellent information source for reliable answers to cosmetic dental questions. In addition to this, you can easily locate an accredited member.

Why This Matters

Accredited Members of the AACD have completed extensive advanced training and education in cosmetic dentistry, and have successfully passed the rigorous Accreditation Board Examination. These credentialed members have demonstrated a very high level of clinical excellence and ability in cosmetic dentistry.

Experience & Training

Excellent cosmetic dentistry requires the utmost attention to detail. So, make sure the dentist listens to what you want and has a clear vision of what is possible. This can only be achieved through experience and training. So, if you are considering a smile makeover, you should ask exactly how many smile designs the dentist has completed.

Finally, Ask to See Before & After Photos & Videos

To verify the experience of the cosmetic dentist, ask to view before and after photos of cosmetic dentistry that have actually been performed by that dentist. That’s because many dentists display commercially available photos and albums that show the possibilities for cosmetic dentistry. For this reason, you want to make sure you are seeing actual work by the dentist you are considering. In addition to this, make sure that the photos you look at are also cases similar to yours. You might even ask to speak to one or more of his or her patients, or see their reviews.

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Bernie and his team! Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the kindness I received throughout my visit. Going to the dentist can sometimes feel stressful, so being around people who help you feel comfortable makes a big difference. Dr. Bernie was kind, patient, and easy to talk to. His calm and reassuring manner helped make the appointment a positive experience. When choosing a dentist, feeling comfortable with the person caring for you is so important, and I appreciated being treated with warmth and respect. The staff deserves recognition as well! Their friendly attitude helped make the visit pleasant. There is something special about an office where you feel welcome and where the little things, like a kind greeting and a patient approach, are part of the experience. I also appreciated receiving a message after my appointment—it was a nice personal touch. Thank you, Dr. Bernie and your entire team, for making my visit such a good one. I appreciate the care and attention you give your patients. I would happily recommend this office to friends, family, and anyone looking for a dental team that makes them feel comfortable and cared for!

I have had the most amazing experience with Dr. Bernie! He fixed my smile after multiple dentists were unable to after years of back and forth. I could not recommend him more for veneers and/or crowns. I had a pretty difficult situation to correct with a root canal that was discoloring one of my front teeth, and you’d never know when looking at my teeth now. Thank you so much to Dr. Bernie and his whole staff who was incredibly welcoming and caring throughout the entire process. I’ve moved all my dental needs to this office moving forward.
