The Prosthodontist treating a patient can do much to improve the appearance and natural beauty of the face. The position, shape, form, surface texture, and color of the teeth, effect the look of the entire lower half of the face.

The success of prosthodontic treatment for improved facial appearance is directly related to good treatment planning. The goal of modern implant dentistry is to achieve integration of dental implants and restorative treatment which replaces a missing tooth or teeth and lost supporting structures, as well as to restore proper aesthetics and function. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary for the patient and dentist to be able to visualize the final prosthetic results, prior to implant/restorative treatment. Therefore it is essential for the dentist to have a thorough understanding of all phases of treatment in order to diagnose, treatment plan, and restore natural appearance.
