20066 Esthetic dentistry 1 is the marriage between the ‘art and science of dentistry’. The simultaneous application of technical and artistic skills enables a practitioner to achieve outstanding esthetic and functional results. The importance of diagnosis and treatment planning prior to any procedure cannot be over-emphasized, remembering that oral health and function are integral to successful esthetic dentistry. To practise successful esthetic dentistry, the dental team must understand the relevant principles, notably those of smile design, and be aware of the different inter-disciplinary treatment modalities that are available. They should also possess an intimate knowledge of the different esthetic materials available, and their clinical indications, application and limitations in practice. Additionally, as discussed in other chapters in this book, effective communication within the dental team, with the dental technologist and, in particular, the patient is of paramount importance to ensure that the goals of esthetic dentistry are achieved, including patient satisfaction and the avoidance of unmet, possibly unrealistic, expectations. All these elements underpin and provide the foundations for successful esthetic dentistry.
