Many patients visit dental practices solely for esthetic enhancements. Cosmetic
dentistry has evolved into an integral element of contemporary dental practice.
Dentists must develop the ability to evaluate existing cosmetic deficiencies and
recognize patient expectations to design proper procedure for smile improvement.
Dr. Smith will discuss the factors that make up smile design and decision making for
the best treatment options for the patient. Current preparation techniques for crowns
and veneers will be presented as well as material options with regard to esthetics
and function. This presentation will outline restorative techniques from diagnosis to
completion. Preparation techniques, provisional techniques, longevity and cementation
recommendations for various materials will be discussed.
