On Teeth, Aesthetics, and Technology
Have you ever watched a jeweler polish a beautiful stone to set it in a ring he crafted? A dentist specializing in aesthetic dentistry needs similar qualities. It takes professionalism, a great deal of patience, precision, a well-developed aesthetic sense, and… imagination. Yes, imagination. Aesthetic dentistry is an art in which the raw material is teeth. And what about the patient’s experience? All this “art” must be created with minimal pain, with grace and kindness.
