6 Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Questions and Answers

Dr. Jack Ringer, an Accredited Fellow with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, has been in the industry for over 30 years and has answered thousands of questions about cosmetic dentistry.

Below are some of the most common questions your cosmetic dentist in Anaheim Hills receives.

1. Will Dental Insurance Pay for Cosmetic Dentistry?

Most dental insurance plans offer low annual benefits, which usually offset dental checkup and restoration costs. However, most dental insurance companies will not cover cosmetic dentistry services unless it is essential for healthy teeth and gums. Carriers usually go for the least expensive restoration process instead of cosmetic dentistry that often offers the best solution.

There are many alternative financing options for cosmetic dentistry. Ask Dr. Ringer about alternative financing for cosmetic dentistry in Orange County.

2. Is Cosmetic Dentistry Beneficial?

A healthy and beautiful smile boosts your self-esteem and confidence. If you are happy about your smile, it improves your personal and professional life. People who have healthy and attractive grin are more likely to perform better in job interviews, while people who smile are more apt to find the love of their lives.

More than a pretty smile, cosmetic dentistry restores your teeth so that they function normally.

3. Why Should I See an AACD Dentist?

Because Accredited Members and Accredited Fellows of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry are passionate about cosmetic dentistry, they are mentored by fellow dentists and take continuing education courses in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Accredited Fellows with the AACD attain the highest levels of education and achievement in the world of cosmetic dentistry.

If you follow Dr. Ringer’s Blog, you will know that the American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry. This makes it possible for any dentist to advertise cosmetic dentistry service even if he or she hasn’t had additional cosmetic dentistry education.

4. What is Accreditation by the AACD?

Developed by the board of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry over 25 years ago, the AACD requires testing in cosmetic dentistry. Dentists who are accredited, including Dr. Ringer, have had to submit actual work cases and exceptional cosmetic dentistry work to examiners before being awarded AACD membership.

Dentists who are Accredited Fellows of the AACD require additional training and education before becoming an Accredited Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

5. Can I See My Smile Before Treatment?

Dr. Jack Ringer has the technology that allows you to see your smile before you have had any sort of treatment. Smile enhancement with digital imagery helps you and your Orange County cosmetic dentist choose the best smile for your personality and your face shape.

6. How Many Office Visits Will I Need for a New Smile?

According to your cosmetic dentist in Anaheim Hills, how many office visits you will need depends on what you are having done. In office tooth whitening and dental bonding, can both be completed in a day, while porcelain veneers can take up to three appointments. Same day dental crowns are also available eliminating time and money.
