I would like to share my experience with Malaysian dental surgeons. In my years in practising clinical dentistry I’ve come across so many instances of patients wanting to rush the end product without a reasonable idea of what it will be. I do my best with every case and try to envision what will please dentist and patient.
Guessing is a recipe for failure.There’s an old adage I’ve often referred to: ‘there never seems to be time to do things right, but there’s always time to re-do it’.
Now, by incorporating the digital smile design in my clinal routine,. I am able to eliminate guesswork. I can’t emphasis enough about the importance of having a ‘blueprint’ to achieve the desired result of cosmetic treatment.With digital smile design it makes so much sense .
Since attending several lectures , courses and applying the technique in all my aesthetic cases , I finally became the first to obtain Master in DSD in Malaysia and the first DSD Instructor in South East Asia .
Precision is the hallmark of every professional dentist. The objective must be to achieve a high degree of certainty. This will also enable both the patient and the dentist to know in advance what the final outcome in advance.
When things go awry from lack of planning and from the failure to work out details before starting an actual restoration, it may shake a patient’s faith in their dentist. To some, digital smile design seems time consuming and meticulous especially in treatment planning . However this was my missing link all these years . It is the secret to having a happy patient.
