If you’re considering a smile makeover, you're on the right track to not just enhancing your appearance, but also potentially shaving years off your look. Beautiful white teeth and a refreshed smile will transform your entire demeanor. It’s life changing to be proud of your smile again, and not to worry about what you eat. Here’s a guide to picking the right specialist to rejuvenate your smile.
Understand What You Want:
First things first, understand what bothers you about your smile. Is it the color, the alignment, or missing teeth? Or perhaps it's the length or shape of your teeth that seem to add years to your appearance. Do you have trouble chewing? Aging isn't just about wrinkles; your smile plays a huge part too. A good cosmetic dentist can address these concerns and help identify what might be bothering you. He’ll look at your whole face and determine how to fashion your smile so it fits in perfectly to enhance your whole look.
The Doctor’s before and after Gallery:
A picture is worth a thousand words, especially in cosmetic dentistry. Any seasoned cosmetic dentist will be proud to show off their work. Ask for before-and-after photos during your consultation. This will give you a clear idea of their skill level and how they’ll be able to transform your teeth. A great cosmetic dentist has an artistic eye, and you’ll see this reflected in the results!

Of course, there are many more such photos we have if you’re interested.
Ask for a consultation:
Never underestimate the power of a consultation. This is your opportunity to talk to the dentist, assess their skill, and see if you click. This can be in person, or, these days, via video conference call. During the consultation, a good cosmetic dentist will listen to your concerns, discuss your options, and explain the procedures. They should also discuss how to maintain your results, as a great smile is a lifelong commitment.
Technology, Technique, and Materials:
The field of cosmetic dentistry is always advancing, and so should your dentist. Ask about the technology and techniques they use. Modern equipment offers better results and a more comfortable experience, and of course, materials are all-important to ensure your beautiful smile lasts a long time. Titanium implants, Zirconia Crowns and Porcelain (also called Ceramic) laminates or veneers are all state-of-the art. A dentist who keeps up with these advancements is someone who will likely take good care of your smile!
Comfort and Communication:
Your comfort and communication with your dentist are paramount. You want someone who understands your needs and can communicate clearly about treatment options and expectations. A good rapport will make the whole process smoother and more enjoyable. At Medical Tourism in Colombia, our dentists speak at least some English, but we can always have bi-lingual interpreters available to ensure all communication is crystal clear.
Reviews and Testimonials:
Lastly, don’t forget to read reviews and testimonials. These can provide insights into other patients’ experiences, the atmosphere of the clinic, and the quality of service and results. However, take them with a grain of salt; everyone’s experience is unique.
Here’s a video testimonial from Donna, who had a complex and complete smile makeover from our dentists for about a third of what she was quoted from her doctor in rural Pennsylvania. It’s a bit long, but note her enthusiasm, the quality of her smile, and the difference it’s made in her life!
Final Thoughts:
Choosing the right cosmetic dentist for your smile makeover is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be a daunting one. Take your time, do your research, and listen to your gut. Remember, this is about more than just your teeth; it’s about rejuvenating your entire look and how you feel about yourself!!
