Are You a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Some people associate cosmetic dentistry with the full smile makeovers made popular on such television programs as Extreme Makeover, believing that a trip to a cosmetic dentist will yield only dramatic results. In the care of experienced cosmetic dentists such as Dr. Clifford Degel and Dr. Carmen Every-Degel, however, patients can achieve results as subtle or as comprehensive as they wish. To be a suitable candidate for cosmetic dentistry, you must start with a desire to improve the aesthetics of your smile. From there, Dr. Degel or Dr. Every-Degel can help you identify the treatment or treatments that are perfectly suited to you, customizing them to reflect your unique needs and goals.
In addition to wanting a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile, good candidates for cosmetic dentistry at our practice serving Manhattan and all of New York City include those:
- With realistic expectations of the results possible with such treatments as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and porcelain crowns
- With the understanding that most dental insurance plans do not provide coverage for cosmetic dentistry procedures; however, financing options are available
- Who are inquisitive and vocal during their initial consultation to ensure that their treatment plan is perfectly tailored to their needs
- In good overall health to undergo certain cosmetic treatments, such as dental implants, which requires oral surgery
