Abstract

Dental aesthetics in an era where the customer is king

Aesthetics is a very important concept in Dentistry, that greatly affects the quality of life of an individual. In fact, most people who end up at a Dental clinic in Ghana are motivated by either pain or aesthetics. It is however a very subjective concept being influenced by the individuals' perceptions, beliefs, preferences, culture and
sociodemographic factors. In contemporary dentistry therefore, the aesthetic needs of patients need to be considered for dental treatment to be considered successful.
