Abstract

Introduction: Enhancement of facial beauty is one of the primary goals of patients seeking facial rejuvenation treatment. The lower third of the face, which is affected by the dentoalveolar complex, has a major impact on the perception of facial esthetics. This article aims to educate cosmetic surgeons about the impact that cosmetic dentistry can have on creating facial harmony and esthetics. Methods: A simple method of bioesthetic dental evaluation of the patient and common cosmetic dental procedures are discussed. Discussion: The importance of a multidisciplinary and multimodality approach by both the cosmetic surgeon and the cosmetic dentist toward creating a more complete, harmonious facial esthetic is emphasized. Results: As demonstrated by figures representative of typical cases, a combined cosmetic surgery and cosmetic dental approach yields excellent esthetic results. Conclusion: The incorporation of fundamental principles of proper smile design and dental esthetics into a facial enhancement treatment plan can achieve excellent results on a consistent basis.
