Unfortunately, any dentist can call himself a cosmetic dentist
. Because cosmetic dentistry has become so popular, many dentists now offer cosmetic dentistry procedures with little or no training in how to perform them, and often use substandard materials. Cosmetic dentistry is an art. In order to deliver beautiful results, your cosmetic dentist must have extensive training and experience. When choosing a cosmetic dentist, always ask about his training and credentials and make sure that he has attended a recognized school such as the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), not just a weekend seminar on cosmetic dentistry.
