A leap in self-esteem due to an improvement in Dental Aesthetics.
J Pak Dent Assoc Jan ;14(2):116-8.

A patient presented at New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD), reporting that he did not want to open his mouth. He had been emotionally traumatized by the unaesthetic appearance of his smile, which displayed two open-faced metal crowns on his maxillary central incisors. While removal of caries and restoration of gingival health was achieved, the most important triumph for this patient was the immediate improvement in his self-esteem after completion of the aesthetic treatment.
