What is cosmetic dentistry?  The simple answer is making teeth more attractive through shaping, whitening or even re-contouring.  For the dental consumer this results in a more youthful, attractive appearance.  Truth be told that for many years enhancements to teeth in the dental profession were viewed as unnecessary. In fact, some dentists thought it actually might caused harm to the public. Even as little as 20 years ago the materials used to glue tooth structure were considered risky and experimental.  Years later television shows like ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” revealed the positive impact of cosmetic dentistry.  The result; public demand for a more vibrant smile exploded.  Today it is difficult to find a dental office that does not offer some form of cosmetic dental procedures.  Today some dentists even claim to “specialize” in cosmetic dentistry even when the American Dental Association  does not formally recognize it as a dental specialty.

 Cosmetic Dentistry-Finding The Right Dental Home

As a dental consumer often it is difficult to find a good cosmetic dental office.  Finding a great cosmetic dental home comes down to three basics.  First, look at the dental team offering the experience which includes the dentist.  Are their teeth and smiles reflective of the desired result?  Second, photo galleries showing actual cosmetic dentistry cases performed by the specific dental team.  Qualified cosmetic dental offices have before and after photos of their work NOT stock photos showing examples.  Digital photography is used by ALL cosmetic dentists and also by the Team at McCreight Progressive Dentistry.  Third and probably the MOST important is to ask for a list of satisfied cosmetic dental clients.  Again every qualified cosmetic dental office has a list of satisfied clients that you can call.  Also look at online reviews via Yelp, Google or Facebook.
