Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
A good candidate for cosmetic dentistry is someone unhappy with their smile because of imperfections in their teeth. Ideally, they should be in good oral health with no signs of tooth decay or gum disease.
Additionally, patients with severely damaged teeth are more suitable candidates for restorative dentistry. While we can address minor chips and cracks, discoloration, gaps, misaligned teeth, and even alter their shape and size, if a tooth is severely cracked or broken, you may require dental crowns or even root canal treatment.
A cosmetic solution alone will not be enough to restore your teeth to health. That being said, cosmetic dentistry often offers restorative benefits for minor tooth damage.
You should have realistic expectations of how much of a difference cosmetic treatments can make to your smile. While we can certainly improve the cosmetic appearance of your teeth, a total transformation can be costly and dental insurance does not cover purely cosmetic procedures. The only way to know if you are a candidate is by coming in for a consultation. We are located in Austin, TX, but we proudly serve surrounding areas such as Steiner Ranch!
