Any dentist who has graduated from a dentistry school can call him or herself a "Cosmetic" Dentist...

In other words, dentists don't have to any special training in Cosmetic Dentistry in order to legally call themselves "Cosmetic Dentists."

But! There ARE dentists out there who have been trained specifically in cosmetic procedures...

These dentists are TRUE Cosmetic Dentists who possess a winning combination of a foundation in general dentistry and the artistic training to give you the Plano smile makeover you're looking for.

One of the major differences between a "general" dentist and a Cosmetic Dentist is this: A Cosmetic Dentist has a strong esthetic eye, and is committed to leaving you looking as beautiful as possible.

General dentists, on the other hand, tend to be much more concerned with making sure everything works rather than making sure it looks fantastic too!

So how can YOU tell the difference between the two so you can make sure you don't end up with a less qualified Cosmetic Dentist?

Here's how:

In addition to asking for before-and-after photos and checking references (as we mentioned above), check to see if you Cosmetic Dentist is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).

The AACD is an organization of Cosmetic Dentists who are committed to the highest levels of education and advancement in the area of Cosmetic Dentistry.

In fact, the AACD is made up of an elite, highly-trained group of more than 300 Cosmetic Dentists from around the world!

If you can find a Cosmetic Dentist who is a member of the AACD, chances are they specialize in Cosmetic Dentistry, which means it most likely makes up the bulk of the treatments they provide...

And full-time Cosmetic Dentists will have performed many procedures that will have allowed them to hone their skills and perfect their techniques -- leaving you with ideal results!

Here’s another secret!!  Make sure you find a Cosmetic Dentist who is a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry! This advanced certification proves that your Plano Cosmetic Dentist has spent hundreds of additional hours of continuing education to deliver the best cosmetic dentistry.

One other important tip

This will be hard to find!  If you can find a cosmetic dentist who has graduated from Levels 1,2,3,4 of the OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry you will know that you have found a dentist who has had the most intense and thorough training in the world! An authority on esthetics and occlusion (bite) .

The reason this is so important is that in my opinion a majority of cosmetic dentistry performed on worn or chipped teeth is actually only a cover-up for undiagnosed occlusal (bite) disharmony.  You have got to find a dentist that knows how to predicable solve these problems.

O yeah!, Last but not least, it could be essential to you that your cosmetic dentist have an advanced understanding of orthodontics because some cosmetic cases require tooth movement with or without braces to give you that WOW smile!

Sincerely,

Steven P. Thompson, DDS, FAGD
