Visiting a cosmetic dentist for the first time is an exciting step toward improving your smile, but it’s normal to feel unsure about what the consultation will involve. At our dental practice, the initial cosmetic dentistry consultation is designed to be informative, comfortable, and completely personalized to your goals.
Here’s what you can expect during your first visit.
A Conversation About Your Smile Goals
Your consultation begins with a discussion. Dr. Bowyer will ask what you’d like to change or improve about your smile. This might include concerns about tooth color, shape, alignment, chips, gaps, or overall symmetry.
Patients often bring photos of smiles they like, but that’s not required. The goal is simply to understand what you want and what results would make you feel more confident.
A Comprehensive Oral Examination
Next, Dr. Bowyer will examine your teeth, gums, and bite. Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about appearance. Your oral health must support any cosmetic treatment.
This evaluation may include:
- Checking for cavities or gum disease
- Assessing enamel strength
- Reviewing bite alignment and jaw function
- A digital scan of your teeth to create accurate impressions for dental prosthetics
Discussion Of Cosmetic Treatment Options
Based on your goals and exam, Dr. Bowyer will walk you through cosmetic options that may be right for you. These could include:
Each option will be explained to you in plain language. That includes benefits, limitations, and expected outcomes for each treatment. This helps you make informed decisions rather than feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Timeline, Costs, And Next Steps
Your consultation will also cover practical details, such as:
- Estimated treatment timelines
- Number of visits required
- Cost ranges and financing options
You’ll leave knowing what the process looks like and whether you’d like to move forward.
A Personalized, No-Obligation Experience
A cosmetic dentistry consultation is not a commitment. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, explore options, and decide what feels right for you. Dr. Bowyer focuses on natural-looking results and personalized care, ensuring treatments align with both aesthetics and long-term oral health.
