Rejuvenating a smile can be one of the most rewarding procedures for a patient and their dentist. However, the high emotional stakes involved, also make it one of the most challenging. Many dentists find it difficult to consistently fashion restorations which create a smile that is natural looking and harmonious with the patient’s facial features. Without a systematic approach to case selection and the delivery of treatment, success cannot be assured. Fortunately, with the right training and methodology, creating a beautiful, natural looking smile using composite resin can be achieved predictably.
