Esthetics in Dentistry

A unique collaboration between 17 internationally renowned women dentists has resulted in an inspirational textbook on esthetics in modern dentistry. Illustrated with over 800 figures, the book presents a thorough overview of various aspects of esthetics, including orthodontics and orthognathics, implant therapy, restoration, rehabilitation, materials, trauma, and surgery.

Each author also provides fascinating insights into her journey to become a successful female dentist in a male-dominated industry. The stories differ, but the results are the same - excellent patient care and excellent esthetics.

'My sincere hope is that, over and above its professional contribution to the dental community, this book will encourage both young and experienced women dentists to escalate their knowledge, wisdom, and artistic talent, and to have the impact on the dental community they so rightly deserve.' Dr Devorah Schwartz-Arad
