OCCLIA / AESTHETIC COMMUNICATION
A shared vision.
A better conversation.
Bring the patient, practice and laboratory onto the same page.
Listen before you plan
Ask what your patient likes about their smile and what they hope to change. Record their preferences clearly without promising a particular result. Aesthetic treatment decisions require individual clinical assessment.
Share the right context
Discuss the patient’s goals, relevant clinical findings and the intended scope of treatment with your laboratory. Agree a consistent approach to photographs and shade communication before the case is submitted.
Keep the conversation open
A useful laboratory prescription is the beginning of collaboration, not the end. Confirm any uncertainties with your lab team rather than leaving assumptions in the case notes. This overview does not disclose the lab’s proprietary aesthetic methodology.
