While you have been working from home and binge watching Netflix shows for the past several months, you have had a lot of time to think about fixing your teeth. Whether you have cracked, gapped, or discolored teeth, your smile is not what you want, but when you try to make an appointment with your dentist, they recommend using virtual smile design for your consultation. Why, when most businesses and practices have reopened, would they suggest this? Here are some reasons to explain!
You Do Not Know Which Treatment You Need
Although you realize that your teeth need work, you may not be sure about which procedures can help you achieve the smile you want. During your consultation, you can talk with your dentist about your goals and needs, and they can guide you to the treatment(s) that give the right results. In many cases, your dentist can tell you what the problem is with a quick evaluation and explain your treatment options. Then, they can provide you with a clear idea of what
You Are Not Confident about Treatment
After you know what procedure your teeth need to look and feel their best, you may still be hesitant about moving forward. Will this treatment really transform your smile? Is the difference really worth the investment? These questions can be answered with virtual smile design, a software system that allows the dentist to alter an image and show you how your new and improved smile can look—all without touching your teeth. This manipulated image gives you an idea of what the finished product will look like so that should you decide to undergo treatment, you already know you will love the results.
You Are a High-Risk Patient
If you are more vulnerable to illness, you may need to be extra diligent in keeping yourself healthy, especially now with the threat of COVID-19 still present. The good news is that you can have a consultation with your dentist virtually, preventing the unnecessary risk of accidentally getting sick or passing on infections through in-person interactions. Obviously, in order to get treatment, you must go into the office, but the consultation does not have to put your health at risk.
You Want to Stay Home
Perhaps you are the type of person who would rather stay home instead of going to the practice. Sometimes, that is perfectly fine. A virtual consultation allows you to accomplish the same tasks even though you are not physically in the office.
Meeting virtually and using virtual smile design can help you know exactly how you can achieve your dream smile before you even leave the house. That is certainly a reason to smile!
