Esthetic dentistry is “emotional dentistry,” explains author Alexander Wünsche, CDT, because most treatments take several weeks to finish. During this time, the patient’s emotions are a very important factor.

Therefore, technicians have to ensure that the provisional restoration looks good, the placement procedure is running smoothly, and that all the necessary tools, guides, and other aids to place a temporary are in the correct place. This requires pre-treatment and outcome planning from the first moment.

In this eBook, Wünsche provides two detailed cases to show how proper treatment planning helps to arrive at a successful outcome, without stressing the patient’s emotions.
