How would you like to see the outcome of your cosmetic dentistry treatment before you commit to a procedure?
With our digital treatment planning software, we can address this concern precisely. Many patients visit our San Diego office unsure about committing to cosmetic treatments because they’re uncertain about the outcome. Often, they’ve saved up for these procedures and are hesitant to commit without seeing results first. Cosmetic imaging eliminates the guesswork, allowing you to see exactly what you’ll be investing in.
Visit Dr. David Eshom for a free cosmetic consultation and explore all the possibilities with cosmetic dentistry treatments. Instead of just viewing others’ results, you’ll see how bonding, Bioclear veneers, porcelain veneers, and cosmetic whitening will look on your smile.
Cosmetic Imaging Improves the Process for Patient and Doctor
Sometimes there can be a disconnect between the patient and the doctor when discussing aesthetic goals for cosmetic treatment. Patients and doctors often use different vocabulary, and a word like “line” can mean different things to each. With a subject as emotionally charged as appearance, we want to ensure perfect understanding to provide the most conservative treatment to meet your goals. We know different patients have different concepts of the ideal tooth shape and desired whiteness. Some love the uniqueness of their smile while others seek perfection.
Digital treatment planning ensures you and Dr. Eshom are aligned when planning cosmetic enhancements. Using our cosmetic imaging tools, you can point out features on the digital images you wish to change, and he will show you what each treatment can realistically accomplish for your new smile.
How It Works
When you visit Dr. Eshom’s San Diego office for a cosmetic consultation, we will use a digital or intraoral camera to capture a picture of your smile and scan your mouth’s surfaces. Several images of your smile and teeth will be displayed on the computer screen, allowing you to point out the flaws you wish to correct. As Dr. Eshom discusses possible treatments, he will modify and image to show the potential changes with each treatment. If you don’t like what you see, let him know, and he’ll start over with a different approach or treatment. During your session, Dr. Eshom will strive to understand your cosmetic dentistry goals and work with you to create the smile you’ve always wanted.
Cosmetic Imaging for Porcelain Veneers and Bonding
With treatments like porcelain veneers, Bioclear veneers, and bonding, several visible features can be altered. These treatments can change the size, shape, angle, color, and translucency of the teeth. Some patients prefer a uniformly squared edge, while others prefer natural variety in tooth shape. If only two teeth are being treated, you’ll want to see the projected shape of the treated teeth to understand the overall effect on your smile. Some patients choose to undergo whitening treatments before bonding two teeth to ensure harmony between the old and new teeth. Additionally, with porcelain veneers, there is some variation in how closely the teeth will meet after treatment.
For treatments that can give you a completely new appearance, it’s crucial to see all possible configurations to ensure satisfaction with Dr. Eshom’s plan. All variables will be explored to ensure you get the desired results.
