They happen to be one of only brands known by name because of that. While they are okay, you can do better. Plus, there is a much more important consideration than the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Important than the Brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some brands are better than others, you can use the absolute best brand and the results would totally depend on the skill of the cosmetic dentist using that brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The skill of the dentist is the number one determining factor in whether or not your smile makeover ends up stunning or sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding an Expert Cosmetic Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You want a dentist who has invested a lot of post-doctoral time in cosmetic training. Smile makeovers aren&#8217;t taught in dental school. Instead, a dentist has to intentionally take the time to study its theory and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like not all painters have the same skill level, neither do cosmetic dentists. One dentist will have a more artistic eye than another. So, how do you know if you&#8217;re getting a Michelangelo or a Mickey Mouse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way is to look at their smile galleries. This should be a brag book of sorts showcasing their best work. You&#8217;ll want to make sure it is their actual work and not just stock photos they are posting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you&#8217;ll likely be safer looking on the mynewsmile.com website. This site examines both the technical skill and artistry of dentists who wish to be listed. They can&#8217;t pay to get on. They have to have the requisite skill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Be Surprised if they Don&#8217;t Suggest Lumineers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An expert cosmetic dentist will know the strengths and weaknesses of each brand of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"porcelain veneers (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\">porcelain veneers<\/a>.
