Find The Right Treatment to Improve Your Smile
Most Americans are dissatisfied with the appearance of their teeth, whether that’s their shape, size, or color. Before any cosmetic dental procedure — also often referred to as a smile makeover — Dr. Sarah Latterell will need to assess the condition of your teeth with a cosmetic consultation.
The main types of cosmetic dental procedures she offers are veneers, bonding, dental crowns and bridges, teeth whitening, and more. Cosmetic consultations occur before treatment so you can discuss the best solutions to improve your smile.

What to Expect At Your Cosmetic Consultations Appointment
Your cosmetic consultations appointment is the time for you to discuss the best treatment options to improve the appearance of your teeth. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Assessment
Before starting any work on your teeth, it is important for Dr. Sarah to thoroughly examine the condition of your mouth and teeth. She will perform both an intraoral and extraoral dental exam to look at your teeth, gums, mouth, and overall oral health.
2. X-Rays
She will also take X-rays and can advise if there are any non-aesthetic issues with the teeth. This will allow Dr. Sarah to determine the health of not only the teeth but the jaw as well.
3. Dental Goals
Your cosmetic consultation is also your opportunity to clearly communicate your desired changes. A consultation is a time for Dr. Sarah to understand the changes you’d like and why, and to determine the type of procedures that will achieve your goals.
4. Preview Restoration
Prior to any permanent changes, Dr. Sarah can show you a preview or mock-up of what your desired changes may look like. If something doesn’t look how you expected, you can let her know and she can make adjustments before treatment.
