Dr Christopher ORR - The role of aesthetic dentistry in restoring a youthful appearance
We live in a society that is becoming more and more aesthetically aware as developments in healthcare mean that our patients are living longer and being more active for the whole of their lives. Dentistry has moved forward from purely treating dental disease towards a more electively-driven model of practice.
Many of our patients undertake elective dental treatment to make themselves look and feel younger. This presentation will focus on a discussion of the effects of the passage of time on the appearance of the smile, and also how we can make our patients look younger through appropriate dental treatment.
Learning objectives
By attending this presentation participants will gain an understanding of
- the effects of the ageing process on a patient’s smile
- planning the desired aesthetic outcome to make the smile look younger
- the range of treatments available to achieve this, from the minimally-invasive to the more comprehensive approach
