7 hours lecture credit - lunch included in all registrations
Designed for the entire dental team
You’ve taken the courses on adhesive dentistry, smile design, new
technology, etc. but are still not happy with your long-term
restorative results. You’ve listened to all the “gurus” who make it look so
easy but have found out it’s not – in fact some of techniques taught don’t
seem to work well at all. You’ve been told that metal in the mouth is not a
good thing and that all composite or ceramic restorations are the way to
go. You’re looking for the truth and some answers to your dilemma.
Using 33 years of clinical experience Dr. Small tells it like it really is and shows you
how to achieve the most consistent successful restorative results in an esthetic
manner as possible. With a combination of classic dental techniques and new ones,
he will lead you through restorative cases from a single tooth to full mouth
reconstruction including implants.
You will learn:
- How to motivate your patients for accepting excellence
- Evidenced based veneer preparations
- Nine principles of crown preparations
- Diagnosis and treatment of the worn dentition
- Tips and tricks for restorative dentistry – simple to complex – including implants
- Cast gold use in 2006 - When to use metal and when to use all ceramic restorations
Don’t miss this state of the art seminar and motivate
yourself for excellence.
