What aspect of coronal polishing can lead to increased patient satisfaction?

A well-executed coronal polishing procedure can significantly enhance a patient's overall experience and satisfaction. When the procedure is performed effectively, it not only results in a clean and aesthetically pleasing smile but also contributes to a sense of well-being and confidence in the patient. The immediate visual outcome of a brighter, polished set of teeth can lead to increased self-esteem and make patients more likely to maintain good oral hygiene practices.

In contrast, while lower treatment costs, faster appointment times, and reduced insurance claims may positively influence patient satisfaction, they do not directly impact the patient's immediate perception of their dental aesthetics and health. The primary goal of coronal polishing is to improve the condition and appearance of the teeth, making the quality of the polish itself a key factor in enhancing patient satisfaction.
