A smile makeover is actually a cosmetic dental procedure that is aimed at enhancing the beauty and appearance of a smile and the face. It is often done to straighten crooked teeth, whiten discolored teeth, replace missing teeth, and so much more.
If you are considering a smile makeover, here are the questions you need to ask first:
1. What about your smile do you think needs improvement? Examine your teeth and smile carefully. Determine what type of improvement you need and tell your dentist what you want to achieve. He can suggest ways to better achieve it.
2. What are the risks involved in the cosmetic procedure you are considering? Before going ahead in any treatment, ask the dentist first what can go wrong in the procedure and the health risks involved in it.
3. Do you have health concerns that may contradict the dental procedure? If you are taking medicines or have health concerns, it’s best to ask the dentist if it is alright to go ahead with the procedure. Sometimes, there are conditions that require certain medication before doing the treatment.
4. Are you comfortable with the dentist? It is important that you feel comfortable with the cosmetic dentist as the success of the procedure will depend much on it. It’s wise to ask for recommendations from friends to ensure that you are dealing with the best in town.
5. Can you afford the fee? Now, before getting comfortable in that dental chair, ask the dentist first how much the whole procedure would cost. Make sure there are no hidden fees, so you don’t get surprised with your bill in the end.
Once you are determined on getting a smile makeover, a brand new and brighter smile is just around the corner. But remember to do the procedure for the right reason. After all, a lost smile can never be regained.

Finally, for the first time this week I had a break from dental work. It can be really stressful at times to keep staring at people’s mouth. My fellow dentist in Newport Beach and best pal, Sarah, calls me a slave of the dentist’s chair. There’s never a time when I don’t ask her to call me back every time she calls at the clinic.
So anyway, since I had a free time, I started skimming through my copy of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol. His website explains that the book is a:
&nb sp; “. . .masterstroke of storytelling--a deadly race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths... all under the watchful eye of Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., The Lost Symbol accelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale.”
&nb sp;
I’m a huge fan of him. I have read his other four novels. I’m so gripped by his books, sometimes I forget to separate reality from fiction. But as long as I’m able to return back to reality at the end of my reading, I’m okay.
Oh well, the phone is ringing. It must be Sarah, again.
