Abstract

We live in an era where our patients know exactly what they want. Not only, they wish for an aesthetic solution to their dental problems but also seek solutions that require “no touching” or “minimally touching” of remaining tooth structures. As we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In this dental course, we, as dentists, will understand how to customise the smile in a "smart" way to make our patients happy. I will introduce you to a different approach to communicating. Additionally, I will describe ways of presenting the initial design to the patient in 3D, before the treatment will start. I will showcase photographs and videos for all the stages of the treatment.

Learning Objectives

Describe the cornerstones of Smart Smile Design: evaluation, design, provisionalisation
Explain how to manage aesthetic challenges of smile design
