If you don’t really like the way your smile looks, you are probably overwhelmed with happiness at the thought of improving your smile’s appearance. However, just because you know cosmetic dentistry will improve your smile and the way you feel about yourself does not mean you plan on entering into treatment without asking a few questions first. We are always happy to help educate our patients, so they feel wonderful about the treatment decisions they make. If you find that you are struggling with some concerns regarding cosmetic care, we invite you to look over the following questions that we commonly receive from patients (answers are included, of course):
