How Much Will It Cost?

Knowing the cost of the procedure is an important part of the decision making process. If money is a major concern, talk to your dentist about what options you have within a price range you’re comfortable with.

How Long Will It Take To See Results?

Another important factor is knowing how long it will take to see the results you are hoping for. With some things, there will be multiple procedures required to get the desired results. This may also be a factor for you when weighing your cosmetic dentistry options.

How Long Will It Last?

Of course, if you’re spending both time and money on these procedures you’ll want to know how long you can expect the results to last. This will vary between different types of cosmetic work and will be different for each person. Make sure to ask your dentist what you can to do to help the results last as long as possible.

Can I See Before And After Images?

If you’re still on the fence about a specific treatment, consider asking your doctor if you can see before and after images. Seeing the transformation of someone with a similar case to yours can help you get an idea of what you’ll see with your own teeth.
