You’ve decided that your house needs a new coat of paint. It’s a great house that you’ve carefully taken care of, but the outside doesn’t necessarily reflect that. What do you do? Do you go to the hardware store, find your favorite color, and instantly break out the roller? Of course not. You want a professional to take care of it so you know that you will get the best possible result. If you’re going to have to look at it every day, it should be perfect. The exact same can be said for making your smile more beautiful. While many dentists in the area offer cosmetic services, not all of them have the training and experience you need. There are a few key things you should look for when choosing a cosmetic dentist in Denver, and here are the 5 main ones.
1. Consider the Doctor’s Experience
Of course, when considering a cosmetic dentist, you want to go to someone who has been there and done that. Fortunately, Pearl Dentistry has two doctors that have the exact kind of training and experience that enable them to truly transform your smile.
Dr. Jayme Glamm always considers an entire patient before performing any kind of treatment, and only does what she truly feels is in their best interest. She received her DDS degree from the Ohio State University School of Dentistry in 2007, and went on to teach at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, where she remains a part-time instructor to this day.
Dr. Stefanie Walker got into dentistry because she felt it was the best way to help the people around her. She received her DMD degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 2006, and strives to improve herself with continuing education so she can better serve her patients every day.
2. Check Out Their Services
You should consider exactly what you want to be improved about your smile. Do you want the color to be brighter? Are your teeth slightly crooked? Do you want to fix cracked or broken teeth? You need to make sure the dentist you go to can handle all of these issues.
Dr. Glamm and Dr. Walker happily offer a wide variety of services that can mask and fix a large array of cosmetic flaws. You can take years of stains off of your teeth with in-office or take-home whitening, or repair damaged teeth with all-ceramic restorations and tooth-colored fillings. If you are looking for a complete makeover, porcelain veneers can make your smile picture-perfect in as little as two visits, and you can even get your teeth straightened without the look or hassle of metal braces thanks to Invisalign. No matter what your smile needs, they can provide it.
3. Look for Continued Education
After a dentist has left school and gotten their license, they are required to take a certain number of hours of continuing education courses, which are intended to provide extra training and help dentists stay on top of the most current practices. Most dentist do their minimum amount of hours and call it a day. Both Dr. Glamm and Dr. Walker regularly take much more than the required hours, and also do them at some of the most prestigious institutions in the world, namely the Dawson Academy of Continuing Education and Spear Education. This means they frequently get trained by top dental professionals, which enables them to provide you the highest-quality of care possible.
4. Read the Reviews
Cosmetic dentistry is largely subjective, so you’ll want to hear from other patients who have had treatments performed at the practice. Are they happy with the results? How was their experience at the office?
You’ll see that Dr. Glamm and Dr. Walker’s patients have taken the opportunity time and time again to talk about how they ended up with the smile they’ve always wanted. They walked into Pearl Dentistry hoping to regain their confidence, and left with so much more.
5. Look at Their Smile Gallery
A practice’s smile gallery will give you the chance to see the kind of results they can produce first hand. You’ll be able to see with your own eyes just how big a difference each treatment can make. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so a quick look at their smile gallery should help make your decision easy.
