Make sure you find the dentist that has “been there, done that” and not a novice fresh off the boat. Find out if they have any specialties, or extra certifications, what continuing education do they take advantage of, etc. They may have a “smile gallery” showcasing the work they’ve done for similar patients that needed a little tooth repair like you do. Take a look at that for insight. If you want to learn more, ask for an interview. Any dentist worth their salt would be pleased to have you come in for a free evaluation and sit down.

Next, be sure that the cosmetic dentist you are looking into can perform all the procedures you might want. Not every dentist is trained or offers every option available. Your particular interest may only be offered by an orthodontist, etc.

Finally, read reviews about your dentist from previous patients. There are all sorts of review sites, and the dentist themselves should have lots of information on their own website. Take advantage of modern technology!

If you’d like to come in for an interview and evaluate our cosmetic dentistry services, call our helpful team at Elite Cosmetic & Family Dentistry. Phone: 513-771-5212, or come by our office in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In a situation like this you might want to schedule a consultation with a dentist like Dr. Alexis Mai to understand your options for improving the appearance of your teeth.

In some of these cases, she will recommend cosmetically restoring the appearance of your teeth by installing dental veneers. This treatment process will effectively replace the face of each tooth with a thin shell made from either dental grade porcelain or composite resin.

If one of your teeth has a significant physical defect, she might recommend restoring the tooth with a porcelain dental crown. This could be related to an untreated dental fracture, active cavity, existing dental filling, or misshapen tooth enamel.

Your dental veneers and any other necessary dental restorations will need to be created in a dental lab. You will need to return to Elite Cosmetic & Family Dentistry when they are ready. This installation can typically be performed in a single outpatient appointment.

If you live in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area and you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, you should call 513-771-5212 to set up a consultation with Dr. Alexis Mai.

Dental veneer treatment
Your dentist, Dr. Alexis Mai, will start treatment by numbing your tooth and possibly the surrounding gums. This will help you feel comfortable throughout the appointment. Then, she will shave a section of the front surface of the tooth to make room for the dental veneer. If she doesn’t trim the tooth, the veneer will make the tooth look bulky. Next, she will make an impression of the tooth and will send it to a dental lab where technicians will carefully craft your personalized veneer. When it’s ready and sent to our office, your dentist will cement it over your tooth.

Dental veneer care
Caring for a dental veneer is simple and easy. All you need to do is care for it like your other teeth. Just make sure to brush twice a day, floss and rinse daily, and visit your dentist every six months for your checkup appointments.
