Abstract
Early in my career, I realized that to achieve lifelike restorations, one needed to introduce the same excellence into the laboratory that exists in a high-end esthetic dental practice. I discovered that the foundation for excellent esthetics begins with good communication between the dental technician and the dentist. To establish good communication, one should acquire knowledge of the requirements and limitations encountered by both the technician and the dentist. Once meaningful communication is established between the two disciplines, esthetic excellence will follow.
