How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist

How do you select a cosmetic dentist?? Is it based on education, before and after photos or a referral from a friend.

I found one that Im impressed with Dr. Michael Boyce from Arden Dental Care in Sacramento California. Dr. Michael Boyce D.D.S. has been practicing cosmetic and general dentistry in Sacramento for over 21 years. He is a Member of the American Dental Association - Member of the California Dental Association and a Member of the Sacramento District Dental Association.

Lots of experience and some great before and after photos. Id like to know how you would find a cosmetic dentist in your area and what things you would look for in making an informed decision. What is most important to you in selecting a cosmetic dentist?
