Our attention is limited, when you want to explain what a specific treatment is do not bring up too much noise to the conversation. An implant can be explained in 3 to 5 simple steps for example.
If you want to explain the difference between alternative treatments like Ceramic versus Composites you can use something like this:
Ceramic Veneers | Composite Restorations |
Excellent Esthetic result | Good Esthetic result |
Does not stain over time | Stains over time |
More resistant to fracture just like natural teeth | More prone to fracture than natural teeth |
May need some preparation of the tooth surface | Usually no tooth preparation is required. |
Do you need to complicate further than this when you are talking to the patient? No! You can specify the material used, the warranties and a few more differences on the written document but again, do not complicate what is actually simple unless the patient demands so. Use 3 points, maximum 5.
