This book is inspired by a passion for the natural principles of esthetics in dentistry. The author emphasizes the importance of such factors as the proportions of the face and mouth, the shape of the teeth and their relationships in the dentogingival complex, and the numerous facets of natural colors and surfaces in the esthetic rehabilitation of patients as well as in the diligent placement of implants and the careful selection of materials. The case studies presented document the success of this approach and give clinicians interested in esthetic dentistry useful suggestions to implement in their own practice. This extraordinary book creates an opportunity for the reader to see esthetic dentistry through new eyes.
