Default Qualifications

What sort of qualifications should you be looking for when choosing a cosmetic dentist for veneers?

Hi

most dentists are more than happy to display certificates and diplomas from courses they have attended. These are guides to their postgraduate experience and also indicate that they do keep up to date with modern technologies and advancements.

Also look at their before and after cases, as this reflect the quality of the work and the experience in the field.

I hope this helps

Kind Regards

Raha

It's very difficult to answer. I would ask to see his/her before and after cases at the consultation appointment.

At our practice many of our new patients ask to see before and after cases and we also give them the opportunity to meet some of our past patients to see the treatment they have had.

Best of Luck

Raha

I agree with Dr Sepehrara, a competent dentist will be happy to display their certificates and show you examples of their work. If you find a dentist who is unable to show you examples of their work, it will be impossible for you to see the quality of their work.
