Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions regarding their treatment options. Patients may wish to ask their dentist the following cosmetic dentistry-related questions:

1. Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
   
   
2. Are my gums and teeth healthy enough to withstand this procedure?
   
   
3. What type of cosmetic dentistry is best for me?
   
   
4. What is involved in this procedure?
   
   
5. Will you need to refer me to a specialist, such as an orthodontist?
   
   
6. How much of an improvement is this procedure likely to produce?
   
   
7. How long will this procedure take?
   
   
8. Considering my current health and condition, should I postpone cosmetic dentistry until a later date?
   
   
9. When should I make an appointment for a follow-up?
   
   
10. What if I don’t like the results?
