title: Enhancing the success of a dental practice through patient satisfaction.
abstract: After careful case planning and communication, this case presented a great result for the patient who was pleased to no longer consider herself as having a villainous smile (Figures 7 and 8, page 17). With successful teamwork and planning, the dental auxiliary is able to help determine the outcome of a successful treatment plan. Listening to patients' desires helps to map out a plan of action to exceed the expectations ofpatients, which allows the potential for referrals and future growth for the practice.
