Why Facial Rejuvenation?

Today, the sophisticated patient has access to unlimited information, with the result that there are increasing aesthetic/cosmetic demands from patients. There is a critical tie-in between facial soft tissue contours and the dental smile design. We are seeing more cases where the aging soft tissue aspects associated with the smile, if addressed prior to the definitive dental cosmetics, can dramatically change the final restorative approach.

The benefit of being able to treat the dentofacial aesthetics as a whole rather than piecemeal is of increasing importance to today’s patient. This change is similar to when we began to incorporate dental implants into the general practice in the 80’s. Today, implants are an integral part of general dentistry. The ability to successfully treat all aspects of a cosmetic case, start to finish, is key to achieving ideal aesthetic results.

As with dental implants, it is crucial that you have the knowledge to incorporate these areas into your treatment plan. You may elect to take the courses and perform these procedures yourself, or you may refer the implants or facial treatments to other dentists or practitioners. An understanding of the concepts are important in either case in order to provide state of the art dental smile design for your patient.
