“Envision the end before you begin!” These are Dr. Peter Dawson’s profound words of advice.
With over 500,000 units of experience from which to draw, we welcome the opportunity to participate as part of your pretreatment planning team, especially with implant, combination fixed/ removable, and complex restorative cases. The time to develop a complete plan for treatment is before a case is started.
Today’s elective cosmetic dentistry requires a comprehensive understanding of dentofacial esthetics with a multi-disciplinary approach. Minor perio or ortho may be needed to reach the desired results. These additional treatment considerations may take only a few weeks, but can make the difference between acceptable and exceptional results.
We are glad to provide suggestions for preliminary mouth preparations to improve esthetics, the choice of materials, case design, and diagnostic wax-ups to facilitate fabrication of provisional restorations.
