Packed with “how-to” checklists, red flags, and decision points, this book will guide you through a step-by-step process, including how to incorporate technology, in the most understandable guide to better smiles available today.

“Don’t be fooled by the title. Although this book does cover smile analysis it is actually comprehensive manual of how to properly analyse a patient and their dentition and how to record and analyse the information in a structured way to produce the diagnoses and treatment plan thereafter. It also covers presentation of the treatment plan to the patient.The book is easy to read, I read it in one sitting, and made a lot of highlights and bookmarks to refer back to that will improve my own documentation and planning. I have bought further copies for my team to improve our own patient journey. Even if you do not own or work in a practice like Elaine’s or similar doing more complex dentistry or digital smile design this book is a worthwhile investment as it will improve your examination and assessment skills as well as your record keeping. It is therefore an essential manual to have a your disposal from the time you leave dental school and start seeing patients.”
