This study collected information on various aspects of esthetic dentistry, including the time used and income produced while delivering treatment to noncarious teeth. A mail survey was sent to 521 randomly selected dentists in the six-state New England area (approximately 7% of the total active dentists in that region); the response rate was 74%. The results indicated that dentists are providing a substantial amount of esthetic treatment on noncarious teeth.
