Porcelain Veneers

Westport, Fairfield, Darien and New Canaan, Connecticut

Choosing the Right Dentist for Your Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a fairly new procedure offered by modern cosmetic dental offices. Since television programs have publicized them along with smile makeovers, some general dentists have added them as an offering without much if any experience.

Principle #1

• Choose a dentist with at least a decade of experience in cosmetic dentistry for your porcelain veneers. Otherwise you may have to undergo a second procedure to correct the first one.

Porcelain veneers involve art as well as science. A dentist performing cosmetic dentistry must have a good eye for proportion and balance. When doing your veneers, Dr. Worthington will consider your entire facial shape, your coloring, the way your lips move when you smile, and even the way you move your head.

Principle #2

• Expect good communication

Typically, a dentist performing cosmetic dentistry places a high priority on patient education. If you are scheduling consultations with any potential dentists for your veneers, notice each dentist’s willingness to answer your questions. Does the dentist seem to have time for it? Does he or she give clear answers? You would want to choose a dentist who explains your dental procedures to you clearly before performing them.

Principle #3

• The best dentists take a preventive approach

They do not just respond to dental emergencies or problems, but work to prevent them. For example, as the patient of a experienced dentist, you would not wait until you had a toothache or a loosening tooth to schedule a visit. Your routine check-ups would detect these things before even a naked eye could see them and before you might be feeling them.

Please see our page on What Makes a Good Cosmetic Dentist? for some more details on this.

Dr. Worthington is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry among other professional dental associations and has given bright new smiles to a variety of drama and movie stars.
