  • Title: Strategies for successful esthetic dental treatment.
    Author: Snow SR.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2007 Jul; 35(7):475-84. PubMed ID: 17915590.
    Abstract:
    The foundational principles of esthetic smiles reveal the direct influence of individual tooth alignment on dentofacial relationships. The use of clinical photography is an essential means to identify esthetic problems. Smile design provides an opportunity for effective communication to discuss treatment alternatives with the patient in the consultation process. The scope of treatment can be determined, and treatment limitations can be explained. Smile design findings influence preparation design, material selection, and laboratory communication for enhanced predictability and improved treatment success.
