As in any situation, trust yourwhat your gut is telling you and don't fall into a state ofwishful thinking! Apart from having the innate sense that you can trust thecosmetic dentist, he or she should also be able tothoroughly answer the following questions in a clear,concise and thorough manner.

If so do youuse a certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist(CRNA)??What type of anesthetic or anesthesia is required forthe procedure - twilight or full anesthesia? ?What medications must I stop taking prior to surgery??How long is the average recovery time for this procedure??How will any bruising, bleeding, swelling orinflammation be treated??Will I have to take antibiotics after or before theprocedures??Will there be pain afterwards??What type of painkillers or medications will I beprescribed for pain??Are any of these medications dangerous or addictive? ?What are the side effects of these medications??How soon after this procedure can I resume eating??If the work fails in anyway will you redo the work at noextra expense? If not what is the expense??Are postoperative visits free or is there a charge forthem?It is also a good idea to bring someone else along withyou on your consult so that they can also help you assessthe situation and keep you grounded in reality.
