subject: Top 3 Cosmetic Dentistry San Diego Mistakes And How To Prevent Them [print this page]


San Diego County has a number of medical professionals who offer cosmetic dentistry, but many others are unhappy with the treatment they have received which has the potential to impact your confidence for years to come.

When considering cosmetic dentistry in San Diego, there are a number of mistakes or pitfalls to prevent and you can learn from other peoples experiences.

Concentrate On Your Primary Teeth First

You should only consider cosmetic dentistry when the rest of your teeth are in good condition. It is always tempting to go the cosmetic route to make specific adjustments to make your teeth look better but you will want to focus primarily on your teeth first to ensure you have taken care of decay, periodontal issues, and the beginnings of gum disease in other portions of your mouth.

We all want to save money these days and you do not want to make a financial investment in your mouth that can cause your mouth to deteriorate faster with the lack of proper regular dental work. Whatever cosmetic dentist you select should make it their priority to focus on your overall long term health over short term cosmetic upgrades.

Ask Questions Before Moving Forward with Treatment

Most people in San Diego are hesitant to move forward with cosmetic dentistry as they are not able to see the finished result before getting the treatment completed. This is a very natural concern to have given the permanent ramifications of the dental work.

Cosmetic dentistry is a substantial investment and a commitment, so be sure to collect all the information you can ahead of time when interviewing doctors and before cosmetic dental treatment starts. Even if you go through a few consultations to ensure you are able to select the perfect cosmetic dentist, take the time to do so. Experienced and professional dentists will take the time to discuss all aspects of your process.

Thinking Treatment Lasts Forever

The last bad assumption is to assume your treatment will last forever. It is extremely difficult to predict the lifespan of your dental work and is based on many factors including the quality of the dental work, materials used, the acidity of your saliva, your bite type, and diet or types of foods you eat.

Considering all the above factors will help you achieve the smile you want with cosmetic dentistry in San Diego and to get the best bang for your dollar.
