Predictable Planning: Key to a Successful Smile
Journal Title: Journal of International Medicine and Dentistry - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Our goal in dental rehabilitation for all dental patients is to regain durable esthetics and masticatory function in conjunction and along with maintainable health of the total masticatory system. The demand for aesthetic restorations is phenomenal, driven by media as well as marketing strategies. This phenomenon is both a bane and boon to the dental profession. Media-driven treatment plans and over the counter products have resulted in patients demanding whitening, veneers and implants. While it is perhaps a good time to be involved in dentistry, it is also a challenging time. Consistent provision of predictable dental aesthetics requires the understanding of latest materials and precise techniques as well as and more importantly a commitment to the patients interest.
