The blogger answered the question well, we thought. A lot of people don’t understand that cosmetic dentistry is art, and the culture in dental school is actually, unfortunately, often anti-creativity. And that’s probably how it should be. The first task of a dentist is to learn the technique and in doing so they need to learn standard procedures. They could get into all kinds of trouble by encouraging creativity.
