Occlusal and TMJ State of Play Report
What do most people want and expect from their own teeth?
Do you have the Special Interest to provide this to your patients before you begin your treatment?
Do you think an independent report will protect your patient’s complex treatment?
Quite simply, people expect to keep their own teeth healthy, comfortable, functional and aesthetic for their entire lives, which may well run to nine decades or more. That is quite a contrast to people fifty years ago who often expected to lose their teeth by their forties and spend the rest of their lives wearing plastic dentures.
