Dentistry is an ever changing science. As new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in treatments are required. This paradigm shift in the field of dentistry comes along just in time to meet the felt needs and wants of patients who perceive an attractive smile no longer as a luxury but rather a necessary part of their life style. "Aesthetic Dentistry" enables the dentist to change the appearance, size, color, shape, spacing & positioning of the teeth. The allure of conservative preparations, the potential for excellent aesthetic results and gingival health has made this branch of dentistry very popular the world over. In a survey conducted recently, "Aesthetic Dentistry" was found to be the most actively increasing areas of dentistry during 12 years covered by survey. In today's world, looking good is a prime concern, appearance is closely linked to social acceptance and professional success. People still throng to the Louvre to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and her mystical smile. Dentists have been making beautiful smiles for centuries. Indeed, a dentist is an artist and esthetic dentistry an "Artistic Science".
