Patient Preferences and Satisfaction in Aesthetic Restorative Treatments: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

This research aims to explore patient preferences and satisfaction with aesthetic restorative treatments through a qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with a diverse group of patients who have undergone such treatments. Thematic analysis will be used to identify key themes related to patient expectations, decision-making processes, treatment experiences, and overall satisfaction. This study will contribute to a better understanding of patient perspectives on aesthetic dentistry, potentially informing clinical practice and enhancing patient-centered care. Aesthetic dentistry has experienced a remarkable surge in popularity, driven by evolving societal standards of beauty and the increasing accessibility of advanced dental technologies. As patients become more informed and discerning, their expectations for aesthetic restorative treatments have become more sophisticated. Consequently, understanding patient preferences and satisfaction is paramount for dental practitioners to deliver optimal care that aligns with individual needs and desires.
