Cosmetic dentistry has evolved with the advent of more robust porcelain materials and ever-stronger bonding agents. This series of three articles aims to provide a practical overview of what is now possible both functionally and cosmetically from the preparation of a small number of teeth, through a whole smile, to full mouth rehabilitation. A complete diagnosis is the starting point to planning any cosmetic or functional changes. Guidance is given on the techniques used but adequate training must be considered essential before embarking upon modification in occlusal schemes or even minor adjustments in smile design. Understanding vertical dimension and how and when it can be changed has always been a challenging prospect for the general dental practitioner. This article aims to discuss the rationale behind changes in vertical dimension and demonstrate how it can be achieved in general practice assuming adequate hands-on postgraduate training has been completed.
