A recent survey from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) finds 99.7% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset, with 74% believing an unattractive smile can hurt a person's chance for success. This belief is engrained in the American culture. Patients should research cosmetic dentists before undergoing any procedure like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, or dental implants.
Since 2006, teeth whitening procedures have increased by 300%, and porcelain veneers by 250%. According to Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, he’s noticed that more and more patients undergo cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening, or multi-phase dental procedures and full mouth restoration.
Research and knowledge is the best tool patients can use to ensure quality service and pleasing outcomes. Patients who research procedures, cosmetic dentists and prosthodontists beforehand end up being happier in their dental treatment experience and being happy with the results of their smile makeover. When patients are engaged and invested in making decisions, in addition to checking dentists’ experience and credentials, the results are generally better.
As the AACD study highlights, more patients are undergoing cosmetic dentistry because they believe their smile is important, both in their social and professional lives.
