Why the Direct Resin Mockup IS Important
After thinking about a Smile Makeover for the last 5 years, you FINALLY decide that you are going to have it done. You go to a few dentist's websites and you make 2 or 3 appointments to talk to the dentist.
You also realize that you are used to looking at yourself in the mirror and see that huge space and you find it hard to imagine what you will look like with it closed.
If I was one of the dentists that you consulted with, I would perform a direct resin mockup so that you can visualize, in advance of actual treatment, whether you would like your new look. Many times when I hand my patient a mirror to see what a new smile would look like, they will say:
"It doesn't even look like me." and burst into tears of happiness.
Make your dentist step up and show his or her talents to you before you let them treat you so that you know what they are thinking . Both the dentist and the patient need to be on the same page with regards to treatment, expectations and outcome.
