Lecture Description

Part 1: Flawless Flow: Mastering Your Veneer Preparation Workflow

You will learn an efficient workflow for your cosmetic rehabilitation/veneer cases. You will gain an understanding of how to use your temporaries as a guide for conservative or prepLESS veneers, proper design and biomechanics, and how to approach temporization in two different ways. Temporaries are the most important part of your smile design and laboratory communication, so gaining knowledge on the symbiosis of preps and temps will help you master your smile design visits.

Learning Objectives:

• A unique approach to cosmetic rehabilitation case workflow using
  materials you already have in your practice
• Documentation and planning of your cosmetic cases for predictable
  outcomes
• Why provisional temporaries are the most integral part of smile design
  and how to adopt and implement key material choices to support this
• Effective communication and expectations with both the lab and patien

Part 2: Strategic Smiles: Dive into Treatment Planning Excellence

Getting twisted up trying to create comprehensive treatment plans for your
patients?

You’re not alone—and you’re not wrong for feeling overwhelmed. As dentists, our responsibility goes far beyond just fixing teeth. It’s about building a system to care for the whole patient. But let’s face it, that’s easier said than done.

It’s time to say no to being basic. Drilling and filling isn’t enough. Step up to comprehensive dentistry and learn how to design treatment plans that address the full spectrum of your patients’ needs.

Learning Objectives:

• Elevate your hygiene team: Learn how to effectively diagnose and treat
  periodontal disease—the most underdiagnosed dental condition globally— and integrate your hygiene team into the treatment planning process.
• Understand occlusal disease: Grasp the fundamentals of diagnosing occlusal disease so you can catch issues early and treat them before they become complex.
• Master biomechanics and restorative strategies: Review the principles of
  biomechanics and gain confidence in treating mild to moderate tooth disease with smart, predictable solution
