San Francisco and Marin CA
Are you dissatisfied with the way your teeth look? Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth by using advanced techniques performed by a highly-skilled dentist who has state-of-the-art technology and beautiful materials at their disposal. Many dentists offer cosmetic dentistry services, but choosing the right one for you is a major decision. The team at Glen Park Dental is here to help. That’s why, today on the blog, she lists some factors to look for when choosing a cosmetic dentist in San Francisco.
Training: Many dental practices offer cosmetic services, but a true cosmetic dentist has trained in this discipline, which is not taught during normal dental school. Cosmetic dentists working at the forefront of their field undergo post-graduate education in the specialty, but also pursue continuing education so they can remain up to speed on the latest techniques and technologies that evolve and develop. Our cosmetic dentists have a passion for the field and regularly seek new education in the latest technology and treatments of the field.
Materials: It takes beautiful materials to produce beautiful results and Glen Park Dental uses high-quality materials on all of our cosmetic procedures. Many of our restorations are made with dental porcelain, a beautiful and durable material that is resistant to surface stains. Our dental porcelain also reflects light in a similar fashion to natural tooth enamel.
Picture perfect: When meeting with a cosmetic dentist whom you are considering, you should request to see before-and-after images of past patients. Any cosmetic dentist should be happy and willing to show off previous examples of their work. Looking at these images will give you a better idea of what to expect in the visual results of a cosmetic procedure. You also might consider asking for the contact information of former patients, so that they can provide firsthand accounts of their experience with that dentist. At Glen Park Dental, we are glad to show any prospective patient photos of some of our previous success stories.
One-stop shop: We strongly suggest you choose a cosmetic dentist who can fulfill any of your other dental needs. At Glen Park Dental, we pride ourselves on being able to serve any of the dental needs of any of our patients in Oakland, Marin, San Francisco or the surrounding communities in the Bay Area of California. In addition to offering general dentistry services, we provide diagnosis and treatment of TMJ disorder as well as obstructive sleep apnea.
