Digital developments are only one of many trends influencing dentistry today. Investments in new systems and high labor costs have accelerated the outsourcing of restorations. Who is outsourcing and why? Advertising has grown exponentially and the media/internet increasingly influences how patients select providers and services. Cosmetic dentistry continues to drive patients into dental offices asking for the “no prep, no pain veneer.” Understand the indications and limitations of thin veneers and alternative restorative options for these cosmetic, yet conservative, cases. Join the discussion of how these trends may impact your practice.
