Transform Your Smile with the Best Perth Cosmetic Dental Team
What to look for in a cosmetic dental team
There are so many Perth cosmetic dentists available these days, so it can make the decision on who you should spend your hard-earned money with extremely difficult. Finding a cosmetic dentist you trust is crucial to maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing major problems while they are still easier (and cheaper!) to fix. Some patients may feel apprehensive about cosmetic procedures, so it’s important to find someone you are comfortable with.
The devil’s in the details
Cosmetic dental procedures can also be complex, so you want to make sure you have a cosmetic dentist who is qualified and experienced to give you the best smile makeover. Many cosmetic dentists use modern advancements and technology to enhance smiles. For example, the use of digital impressions is fast becoming the norm and accepted practice in cosmetic dentistry. The application of cosmetic dental treatments is tailored to the individual’s needs.
Our Claremont cosmetic dental team
At our Claremont dental clinic, our cosmetic dentists have combined experience of over 35 years. We love working together with patients to achieve a smile transformation that gives them new self esteem so they no longer feel self conscious of their smile. Don’t let dental problems like crooked teeth, a missing tooth, chipped teeth or a gummy smile hold you back.
Here are our top 8 tips on what to look for in your dental team
Do your research
Do your research online before you even step foot at the practice. Check out their google reviews (watch out for reviews that are just done by existing staff members or family and friends. You want to look for reviews done by legitimate patients. And don’t forget to look at the low scoring reviews too.)
Check that the cosmetic dentist you want to see is an expert in the cosmetic dentistry services you may be interested in. These could vary depending on whether you are interested in dental implants for missing teeth, teeth whitening, porcelain or composite resin veneers, dental crowns, dental bridges, digital smile design, crown lengthening (removal of gum tissue), or teeth straightening with clear aligners.
Check out socials
Check out the practice’s website and social media. Get a feel for the team, the ethos of the practice and their practice philosophies. If the latest technology is important to you, check that the team keeps abreast of the latest developments in dentistry. If you value a team who contributes to the community and does charitable works, look for that too. We suggest you take a look at before and after photos to show you what kind of results others are getting from their cosmetic dentistry procedures. If you’re impressed by what you see, you are on the right track to finding the dentist for your aesthetic dentistry needs.
Give them a call
If you contact the practice via telephone, what is the person you speak to like? A fantastic front office co-ordinator will make you feel welcome, be knowledgable and able to answer your questions, and have an attitude of wanting to be as helpful as possible. Beware of someone who sounds dismissive and just gives you one word answers.
What’s the vibe at the cosmetic dental clinic
How well do the team get along and what’s the vibe in the workplace? If you feel there’s tension or someone seems to be belittled or treated badly, this may be a red flag. A cohesive and professional team can help to positively impact your dental care.
Fee transparency
A fantastic dental team will be clear and transparent when it comes to the costs involved. If they are hiding costs or simply spring the costs on you when you leave the treatment room, beware! You may be in for some nasty bill shock. Part of duty of care means that a cosmetic dentist should give you a personalised treatment plan for the work that has been discussed to achieve your smile makeover objectives. Part of making an informed decision will be finding out what the smile makeover cost will be.
If you have other general dentistry needs aside from your cosmetic dentistry procedures, you may need to have these dental treatments completed first before you commence the smile makeover process. These could include treatment for gum disease or restorative treatments due to tooth decay. Most cosmetic dentists can also perform cosmetic and restorative treatments on all teeth.
Communication
A great dental team will spend the time with their patients to adequately explain a problem or problems in a way you can understand without unnecessary jargon. You should leave an appointment being clear about your situation and what needs to be done to improve it. Feeling confused may be a sign to try a different cosmetic dentist.
Time
If you’re feeling like you are rushed out of the room and didn’t get all your questions answered, this could cause future problems. You want to feel like you are the most important person in the room to the dental team. The Perth cosmetic dental team should give you personalised care and help you feel confident in achieving your smile goals.
Proactive prevention
Is the dentist proactive about prevention of problems? Or do they tend to wait ’till it becomes a problem’. This kind of thinking can be problematic for you in the future, because once a small problem starts becoming a big (and often painful) problem, treatment can often be more expensive and more complex. Check if the cosmetic dentist can perform minimally invasive treatment that can help to preserve your natural teeth. This will help you maintain a healthier smile for much longer.
