Smile, a person's ability to express a range of emotions with the structure and movement of the teeth and lips, can often determine how well a person can function in society. Of course, the importance given to a beautiful smile is not new. Dentists today face exciting times with the advancement of smile design treatment planning options. Adaptation of a streamlined smile design process to ensure predictable aesthetics and function is a reality of the capacity of digital dentistry. Our patients are growing more sophisticated than ever and expect reliable treatment outcomes that can be visualized prior to proceeding with treatment. Although traditional analog treatment planning for comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitation is predictable with a hand-fabricated diagnostic wax-up, patients can become more involved from the beginning of treatment planning with a digital diagnosis and workflow. As a Prosthodontist, the smile we create should be esthetically appealing and functionally sound too. It is our duty to carefully diagnose, analyze and deliver the best to our patients.
