Lecture Description

Practical Tips for the Everyday Practicing Dentist

This lecture is for the dentist who needs to be efficient in order to be profitable.  Many lectures will show you beautiful cases that are not achievable in a normal practice when you are checking multiple hygienists. Cases will be shown in real time from an everyday practicing dentist who has over 36 years of practice. In office videos of techniques will be shown of different procedures. Clinical cases of direct composite veneers, class 4 restorations, diastema closures and more will be presented.  How to diagnose and treat the worn dentition will be described and a technique to stage cases over time for greater treatment acceptance will be highlighted. Knowing when and how to open the vertical dimension will be taught. If a patient is going to lose an anterior tooth, what is the best treatment? How do you schedule with your surgeon for optimal results? Provisionalization using the patient’s own tooth immediately after implant placement on the abutment will be shown in detail. What to do if the implant is not stable? How to prevent sensitivity when doing composite restorations. These and many more questions will be answered in this fast-moving lecture. The procedures you learn can be incorporated immediately into your practice Monday morning for increased profitability and predictability.

Learning Objectives:

• How to create the invisible class 4, direct resin veneers and diastema closures
