Dentists have been providing beautiful smiles for centuries. Traditionally, clinicians have sought to develop techniques which achieve maximum therapeutic objectives with minimal trauma. Toward this end, lot of progress has been made, and changing patterns and concepts are the current trend. Today a dentist is an artist and esthetic dentistry is an "artist's science". The focus of dentistry in the present times is not only on prevention and treatment of disease but on meeting the demands for better esthetics. Thus, dentistry has evolved from a curative to a creative science in a very short span.
