Need a cosmetic dentist? Here's what to look for.

With the explosion of dental services on the web it seems a good time to identify what to look for in a dental practice. This is the dentist a friend might send you to, a competent doc with decades of experience. 

The keyword is experience, defined as "active participation in activities leading to the accumulation of knowledge and skill".

Something happens after years of practicing extends into decades. Completing literally thousands of procedures, top dentists learn to anticipate problems before they happen. He doesn't just know how to fix things, he knows the best overall solution.

Experience alone isn't enough. The complexity of dentistry requires ongoing education. The combination of experience plus continuing education is what makes a great dentist.

A layman's tip for figuring out how much ongoing education the doc has is the string of letters that appear with his/her name. 

The longer the better though MAGD (Mastership from the Academy of General Dentistry) is good. Having Academy Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry listed in the doc's bio is even better. There are only a few hundred of these type dentists in the world.

You deserve nothing less than the best, don't settle for less. There are many great docs out there.
