Dr Asif Chatoo of LLOC along with Dr Zaki Kanaan and Dr James Goolnik Spotlight the Patient Experience At the BACD Fifth Annual Conference 2008.

Dr Asif Chatoo of the London Lingual Orthodontic Clinic (LLOC), along with Dr James Goolnik and Dr Zaki Kanaan, will put the spotlight on the patient, explaining how a well managed practice team can meet and often exceed patient expectations at the At the British Academy of Dental Surgery (BACD) Fifth Annual Conference in Birmingham next month.

The aim of the presentation, dubbed 'The Aesthetic.Orthodontic Interface? But Not Ads You Know It!', aims to examine how the team approach to orthodontics can give patients another dimension to conservative and aesthetic dentistry if approached in the right way.

The trio will examine interdisciplinary management of the patient, who may require several disciplines within dentistry to correct or solve the problem.

Dr. Asif Chatoo, dentist and co-Founder of the London Lingual Orthodontic Clinic explained "We will aim to show how patients can be managed successfully in a friendly environment where there is good communications between clinicicians, to meet and even exceed patient expectations. We will look at the limitations of treating a patient with one discipline of dentistry and show how the sum of our clinical skills can provide a better result than we may have achieved individually".

The presentation will focus on team work and how communicating the problem to the patient and the various dental disciplines can lead to a better result than the patient ever dreamt of. The dentists will outline the importance of treatment planning, phasing treatment and how to look at the various dental options available for a patient. In addition, the trio will explain how and why orthodontics work.

The BACD Fifth Annual Conference, dubbed 'The A to Z of Cosmetic Dentistry: From Beginner To Winner!' takes place at The Hilton Metropole, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, West Midlands from November 13 2008 to November 15 2008.
