“Photoshop esthetics” and the increased patient demand for the “perfect smile”
6-7 September 2019 in Baden-Baden, Germany
Esthetic dentistry is developing into a key driver. Patients who are increasingly informed and inspired by the media are proactively seeking esthetic dental care by the practitioner of their choice – with all the corresponding implications, both positive and negative. We asked seven top experts in the field if they are sensing increased patient demand in their practices for the “perfect smile” (in alphabetical order): Woo-Ttum Bittner, Kai-Hendrik Bormann, Chris Chmielewski, Vincent Fehmer, Gabor Tepper, Kay Vietor, and Julia Wittneben. Learn more about the Esthetic Days in our event review.

It’s time for the beautiful things
In every one of us lurks a beautiful smile just waiting to be revealed. In future, the visual appearance of teeth will increasingly become a focus of attention – hence the importance of esthetics. A beautiful smile is a key feature for attractiveness and well-being. Prevention, modern therapeutic techniques and the increased awareness of oral hygiene have meant that, in future, the emphasis will be on optimization rather than repair, preservation rather than replacement. Initiated by Straumann and implemented by M:Consult, the Esthetic Days even now provide a congress format for dental professionals in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, that will enable them to make a successful start in this future scenario. Or, put simply: it's time for the beautiful things! https://www.estheticdays.dental
