I\u2019ve been going to the same dentist for years, and I trust him, at least with the work he previously did. I recently decided to get a smile makeover, so I figured he could do it. I\u2019m wearing my temporary veneers now, but I don\u2019t like them. He\u2019s made several adjustments, but it just looks worse to me now than when we started. Can I switch and find a real cosmetic dentist? I wish I had found out about this and did my research before I asked him to do the work. \u2013 Kristin from Mississippi<\/p>\n

Kristin \u2013 You\u2019re right. It\u2019s best to select an artistic cosmetic dentist for a smile makeover. A lot of patients don\u2019t realize that cosmetic dentistry is truly an art that few dentists practice. And it requires training in the techniques needed to give you a beautiful smile makeover.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not comfortable with your temporary porcelain veneers<\/a>, you can insist that you are able to closely examine them before they are bonded to your teeth.<\/p>\n

It may add to your expense, but you are able to switch to a cosmetic dentist in the middle of your case. Some of the work will need to be duplicated, though. According to the ethical standards of the American Dental Association, the dentist who started the work must cooperate with the transition by providing notes, x-rays and other material to help your case succeed with the new dentist.<\/p>\n

If you need help selecting a new dentist, mynewsmile.com is a website that is run by an accredited cosmetic dentist. The site provides nation-wide recommendations of cosmetic dentists whose training, experience and pictures of smile makeovers have been carefully reviewed to help ensure that you will truly receive a beautiful smile makeover.<\/p>\n
