Smile Design and Ceramic Restorations in Restorative and Implant Esthetic Dentistry - Dr. Christian Coachman

The goal is to design a smile that fits the patients functional and emotional needs. Modern techniques and materials can be useless if the final outcome doesn’t achieve the patient esthetic expectations. The protocol proposed will improve the esthetic diagnosis, communication and predictability of dental rehabilitations.
