Patient satisfaction with dental appearance is significantly influenced by tooth color. Many adults desire whiter teeth, highlighting the importance of esthetic considerations in modern dental care.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Aesthetics
  • Patient Satisfaction
  • Cosmetic Dentistry

Background:

  • Modern society increasingly values esthetics, shifting dental treatment focus from function to appearance.
  • Decreased caries prevalence allows greater emphasis on esthetic dental outcomes.
  • Patient satisfaction with dental appearance is a growing concern in contemporary dental practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate factors influencing patient satisfaction with their dental appearance.
  • To assess patient satisfaction with the outcomes of esthetic dental treatments.
  • To understand patient desires regarding dental esthetics and potential treatments.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 407 adult participants (mean age, 21 years).
  • The questionnaire assessed satisfaction with current dental esthetics and prior esthetic procedures.

  • Data analysis focused on identifying key drivers of dissatisfaction and treatment preferences.

    • Main Results:

    • 37.3% of subjects reported dissatisfaction with their dental appearance.
    • Tooth color was the primary concern for dissatisfaction (89.3% of dissatisfied subjects).
    • Despite previous orthodontic treatment, poor tooth alignment was a concern for some; however, tooth whitening satisfaction showed no correlation, yet 88.2% of dissatisfied subjects desired it.

    Conclusions:

    • Tooth color is a critical determinant of perceived dental esthetics.
    • A significant majority of subjects expressed interest in teeth whitening procedures.
    • Dentists must integrate esthetic goals with functional and biological considerations for optimal patient satisfaction.
