In my opinion, we are in a golden age of dentistry. The materials we have at our disposal are incredibly esthetic, increasingly durable, and can be placed with minimal to no removal of healthy tooth structure. So why are we so stressed out all the time?

There is a feeling of immense satisfaction when you complete an esthetic case, and the patient cannot stop smiling because you have delivered exactly what they had envisioned. It can be challenging for a patient to communicate what it is that they do not like about their smile, leaving the possibility that the clinician does not completely understand what procedure to perform. It takes active listening, restating, rephrasing, and follow-up questioning to clarify what vague description of dislike for their smile may be.
