Course Description (Lecture Style Webinar)
Cosmetic dentistry is no longer a novelty as it was in the 1980’s...it is serious business. Patient expectations are growing so that you must learn to master the art and science not only in the front but the back of the mouth. Fortunately, advancements in technology and materials have allowed dentists and their teams to be on the same page with the patient, lab, and specialist that help you create extra-ordinary results that are predictable and profitable for the practice and often affordable for patients.
Objectives:
1. Learn critical factors in smile design that help you create beauty and “keep it real”.
2. See how veneer cases can be easy to do by always doing four critical steps.
3. Discover how laser technology can make your cases esthetically beautiful, biologically healthy that promote healing and improve your bottom line –even two months faster in complex cases.
4. Learn a system of building digital technology that gives your business more ROI.
5. Realize techniques to engage and excite your patients for more case collaboration and acceptance.
