In dental practice, by controlling the illusion, teeth can be cosmetized so that they appear wider or narrower, small or large, short or long, old or young, masculine or feminine.

Patients are advised to be concerned with a “natural appearance”, so that they feel good when they look at their own image. The dentist must be aware of the diversity of social and cultural categories that require specialized treatment and adopt an attitude appropriate to each case (according to Dale).

The materials used can be enhanced by respecting their clinical-technical indications, respecting aesthetic principles and through direct and continuous collaboration between the patient, the doctor and the dental technician.
Computer performance makes it possible to simulate different therapeutic stages on the computer, in order to evaluate aesthetic results. The most important thing is not to sacrifice function to the detriment of aesthetics, but to use function as a basis for aesthetics and vice versa.
