So, you’ve taken the next step toward achieving your dream smile by scheduling a cosmetic dental consultation – how exciting! To ensure you have the best experience, it is important to use the days or weeks leading up to your appointment to prepare. By getting organized, conducting more research, and planning financially, you can ensure that you have an experience as flawless as your future smile! If you aren’t sure where to begin, then keep reading.
#1. Prioritize Your At-Home Oral Care Regimen
Whether you are brightening your teeth with a professional whitening treatment or undergoing a complete smile makeover with porcelain veneers, your oral health must be in pristine condition. If neglected, the integrity of your teeth and gums can interfere with the procedure and lead to less than impressive results. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize your oral care regimen before, during, and after your procedure for optimal results.
#2. Prepare a List of Questions Ahead of Time
From your first Google search to the morning of your appointment, it is natural to have numerous questions along the way. Whether it is regarding something the practice posted on their social media, a concern you have from something you read online, or just about anything in between, it can be helpful to write all your questions down. That way, you won’t kick yourself after your appointment when you remember all the questions you forgot.
#3. Find Pictures of Your “Dream Smile”
No two smiles are exactly the same. However, finding “inspiration” pictures of smiles you love can give your dentist a deeper insight into the issues you are looking to address and the end-result you would like to achieve. Plus, seeing the components of what makes your dream smile will allow them to provide you information on what treatment (or treatments) would be best.
#4. Be Ready to Talk Money
When it comes to talking about money, many patients feel uncomfortable. However, it is important to discuss the financial component of the treatment openly so there are no surprises along the way. At your consultation, make sure to discuss the deposit required to book, payment plan options, and additional expenses involved.
#5. Get Excited!
Whether it is crooked, misaligned, or discolored teeth that have you feeling insecure, your consultation is a major step toward restoring your confidence! It is an exciting opportunity to speak directly with an expert, get insight into treatment options, and make an informed decision about upgrading your smile. Plus, by using the above tips, you can feel prepared and ready before heading into your first appointment!
