I love my dentist. He is great for cleanings, fillings, etc., but I don\u2019t trust him to do my cosmetic dentistry work. I asked him about training in cosmetic dentistry, but he really doesn\u2019t have much. He referred me to a colleague in a nearby town, but this dentist is way on the upper end for cost. I need too much work done to pay that much. I don\u2019t know any cosmetic dentists. I know I can do an internet search to find one, but do you have any suggestions on how I find an affordable dentist that really does great work? \u2013 Maya<\/p>\n

Maya \u2013 If you know friends who have had cosmetic dentistry, you can ask for recommendations for a dentist who does high-quality work<\/a>. You may also consider asking neighbors, workmates, or other contacts if they have recommendations.<\/p>\n

During your Internet searches, find out what training the dentist received in cosmetic dentistry, where it was received, and what credentials he or she has. Also consider how much experience the dentist has in cosmetic dentistry and whether or not he or she stays current through continuing education. Check for a smile gallery of before-and-after pictures on the dentist\u2019s website. These considerations will help determine if the dentist produces high-quality results.<\/p>\n

For your concerns about finding an affordable dentist, the website should indicate whether the dentist accepts insurance, or offers payment plans or financing. \u00a0He or she may offer to do the work in phases to make it more affordable for you. You can call the dentist\u2019s office for specific information.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that high-quality costs more. It\u2019s true of most goods and services, and that\u2019s often because it costs more for the provider of the services or goods to purchase or provide high-quality services or products. So even though the services you receive can be make affordable for you, expect to pay a little more than average if you want outstanding cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n

After you have a few dentists you would like to consider, schedule consultation appointments, to help make your final decision.<\/p>\n
