- Improves Communication - Improves communication about what is achievable, or what may need further treatment
- Less Re-Dos And Stress - Less re-dos and stress when carrying out cosmetic dentistry - the patient already knows what to expect.
- Close Cosmetic Cases Easily - Helps you close cosmetic cases easily.
- Helps Bridge The Gap - Helps bridge the gap between what dentists know and what patients understand.
- Planned Completely - Treatment is planned completely and shown to the patient, meaning it is less likely they are unhappy with the final result.
