Synopsis:
Have you ever been overwhelmed with by all of the incredible smile design cases posted online and you’d like to incorporate more esthetic dentistry into your practice but you’re not exactly sure how to get started?

Maxillary anterior teeth have both functional and esthetic components. These teeth are what people see when we speak and smile. There are countless concepts addressing all the intricacies of anterior teeth, and its easy to get lost in the details.

This CE course focuses on a systematic approach using classic concepts. Once we understand the foundational concepts of tooth morphology, smile design and function, then its easier to add the details that make our restorations esthetically pleasing and long lasting.

  • Understanding the principles of visual perception and how to alter the appearance of anterior teeth to suit individual cases

  • Understand the refinement phase of anterior restorative dentistry and how to correct for asymmetric smile displays, and how to camouflage in less than ideal situations
