To ensure esthetic success, dental practitioners must respond to patient inquiries with a codiagnostic approach, allowing the clear identification of esthetic problems and the visualization of solutions. This structured approach involves a therapeutic mind set whereby a common esthetic language is established, and a communication triangle is formed between the patient, the dentist, and the technicians. The problem is clearly identified through the use of the esthetic evaluation form, diagnostic casts, and computer imaging. The solutions are visualized and treatment methods established through a diagnostic wax-up and computer imaging. This approach works by building a high-energy, high-trust relationship between the doctor and the patient, which serves to increase the probability of successful and consistent treatment and improves the dentist's general understanding of esthetic concepts.
