The most important thing in regards to elective cosmetic dentistry is to have a system in the practice that allows the patient to discuss things they want to include in the treatment plan. The Dawson Center is against promoting dentistry that a patient does not need, but many people want elective dental work. Digital pictures open up an opportunity for a patient to see the potential for his smile through before and (digital imaging) afters. You can show people where they are and what’s possible. You usually don’t even have to bring up cosmetics because they see it for themselves. It’s important to let the patient decide for himself.
