Minimizing Negatives

Many patients do not want or need a full smile make over. They do want to improve their smiles but they either do not want to spend the money OR they only want to  treat that part of their smile that they do not like. I have coined the phrase, "Minimizing Negatives" to describe these kind of cases where a relatively small amount of treatment yields tremendous improvements at a relatively small cost.
I am thrilled that my patient decided to 'minimize her negatives' and treat only 4 teeth.
Her gorgeous smile and youthful lips are the perfect example of what we, as dentists, can do for our patients. No one says that a patient must have a perfect smile. What  we do think needs correction are glaring problems in their smiles.

I truly love this smile.
