Aesthetic Outcome

“The advent of dental implants has enhanced our ability to improve our patient’s quality of life through functional rehabilitation. These predictable treatments and outcomes are as a result of employing evidence-based treatment decisions and protocols. However, not all practitioners practice these principles.

Teeth4all.org offers a platform for patients to identify suitable treatment centres and practitioners, thus allowing them to make more informed decisions regarding dental implant treatment.”

“Implant-based dentistry should offer patients wonderful prosthetic outcomes to functional and aesthetic problems. The profession often fails to deliver these outcomes due to a combination of poor treatment planning and inadequate design. The Teeth4all Initiative is a welcomed contributor to the landscape, providing clinicians with a path to better patient treatment through better decision making.”

“Finding an implant provider can be a daunting task – the majority of our patients have no education on the various ways to critique the quality of dental implant work, and many are unknowingly drawn towards cheaper, lower quality treatment. With many outlets providing biased and misleading information, it is a breath of fresh air to be a part of a community that promotes dentists who prioritize high-quality, patient-centred dental implant treatment.

Teeth4all is extremely valuable in that it not only offers an independent platform to allow patients access to these quality implant specialists, but it also provides in-depth educational information to answer any question a patient might have about the implant processes. Additionally, being a part of a collaborative community where criteria for excellence and certification are agreed upon gives trusted, authentic dentists a platform on which to differentiate and promote themselves.”
