This is a comprehensive, four-day, hands-on, live-patient treatment course in the conservative restoration of posterior teeth using the latest aesthetic materials that respect the principles of function.

This comprehensive and highly focused program will provide an educational experience to generate immediate in-office results. Performing better dentistry is more rewarding for patients and dentists, and results in more prosperous practices.

Advanced Functional Aesthetics:

You will not only benefit from personal instruction on you own case, but you will view and help diagnose over 300 restorative units from the other attendees.

Find the key to happiness in dentistry through the adaptation of a better way to practice dentistry. Excellence in functionally aesthetic restorations can be achieved simply and predictably when you know what to do and how to do it. Creating beautiful smiles is only the icing on the cake. The real thrill is your newfound enthusiasm for dentistry and that you, your team, and your patients are all winners.

Do not miss this course - it may just change your life and practice forever!

Comprehensive Aesthetic Reconstruction:

This program will open your paradigms to your power as a dentist. You will handle more complex cases (bruxers, restoring vertical dimension, restoring severely dark teeth without subgingival margins, creating biologic pontics that appear to be growing out of tissue, etc.) treating function as well as aesthetics. You will learn subtle porcelain contouring and chairside customization both before and after final placement that will take a case from good to outstanding.

You will further understand neuromuscular dentistry and occlusion that will allow you to rehabilitate full mouths instead of just six to eight teeth. Your experience will include how to maintain an accurate bite even when working on full arches (allowing the laboratory to create cases that seat with minimal adjustment). Perhaps the most important aspect of the program is you will comprehend not just why cases succeeded, but why they failed and how to eliminate that failure before it happens. You will also realize why so many people need this type of treatment.

At the end of this course, you will be able to offer your patients an even greater scope of treatment possibilities not limited to aesthetics, but also function. You will show your patients exactly what their new smile will look like through the advanced case presentation techniques and deliver beautiful restorations that literally will change your patient's life. For those that have been concentrating too hard on the little picture of clinical details, you will be opened to the big picture of success that will catapult your practice to a new level you've only dreamed possible, a practice where your patients will get the best possible treatment they can in your area and you will gain the respect you deserve. And that is what makes it all worthwhile!
