I want to get a smile makeover. My problem is I can’t spend a fortune. My sister just got her smile done, but it cost her $35,000. I don’t have that kind of money. Personally, I think my sister was overcharged. She tends to want to only go to the top of the line for anything. My question is how can I find a highly qualified cosmetic dentist without spending an unreasonable amount of money? Oh, my dentist says I have a problem with grinding. I don’t know if that will affect my makeover. FYI, I don’t trust my dentist for cosmetic work. He’s a good regular dentist though.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to find a great cosmetic dentist. One is to go on the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD.com) website and look for someone who is accredited with them that practices in your area. There is a difference between accreditation and membership, so make sure you are looking up the right thing. Another avenue is to look on the mynewsmile.com website and see who they recommend in your state.<\/p>\n

For a smile makeover you generally do porcelain veneers<\/a> or porcelain crowns<\/a>. Sometimes a mix of both. \u00a0Because of your grinding issue, I’m guessing the dentist you choose will recommend mostly porcelain crowns. \u00a0It is good you are not just going to your family dentist to get your work done, because you would end up out of a lot of money as well as disappointed in the results. \u00a0Not all highly qualified cosmetic dentists charge a fortune, but they won’t be cheap either. I would make a list of potential cosmetic dentists from those two sources, then call and ask them how much they charge for porcelain crowns. You’ll probably be able to find one who is both qualified and reasonable in their fees. \u00a0I hope this helps.<\/p>\n
