title: Gateways to patient acceptance of cosmetic procedures.
abstract: Many clinicians have the desire to incorporate cosmetic dentistry into their everyday office procedures. It is often challenging to gain patient acceptance for these procedures. This review explores a way in which two services, tooth whitening and chairside esthetic mockups, can be used to introduce patients to cosmetic dentistry, to educate patients, and to increase happiness in the office while providing worthwhile services.
