One of the most important things to do when undergoing a smile transformation is to take the time, with your dentist, to review all of your treatment options. Rushing into treatment isn’t advisable; by just taking a little time thoroughly plan your treatment process, you’ll ensure that you end up with ideal results for you.
Our Novato cosmetic dentists prioritize a number of factors when building treatment plans with our patients. Here are some key things to consider:
Timeline
If you are trying to achieve full results in time for a special event, like a wedding or a reunion, then you may want to limit your treatment options to include those that deliver results in a short period of time. Certain treatments, like dental bonding and veneers, for example, can completely transform your smile in just a few appointments.
Upkeep Required
Another thing to consider is what type of post-treatment maintenance you’re comfortable with in order to maintain your cosmetic results. Let’s say, for example, that you want to whiten and lighten the appearance of your smile. If you choose to whiten your natural teeth with professional teeth whitening, you’ll need to repeat this process once or twice a year in order to keep your teeth looking fresh and bright. On the other hand, if you cover your teeth with porcelain veneers, you won’t have to do much afterward, as veneers are naturally stain-resistant.
Investment
Our dental team makes a point to offer aesthetic options at a range of price points so that we can help all kinds of patients achieve their dream smiles. Dental bonding and professional whitening, in particular, are quite cost-effective. When you meet with our Novato dental team, talk to us about how much you want to invest in your smile; we’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of all of your treatment options.
