Achieving esthetic excellence in single or multiple tooth restorations is one of the most rewarding tasks that dentists and technicians can undertake. We have the opportunity to provide the patient with a restoration that is biologically acceptable, functionally enduring, and tooth-like in appearance.
A comprehensive assessment and determination of the esthetic outcome prior to treatment is essential to treatment planning. Clinical procedures, the timing of different treatment modalities, and a systematic thought process will be described in detail. Participants in this course will have the unique opportunity to observe Dr. Winter demonstrating clinical and technical procedures. Participants will then be able to perform these techniques on simulation models. Diverse clinical situations will be simulated in addition to utilizing a variety of materials and methodologies.
Participants will gain a unique understanding of:
- Oral-facial and esthetic analysis as an integral part of diagnosis and treatment planning
- Comprehensive oral assessment, case presentation, and informed consent
- Functional analysis for occlusal considerations
- Appropriate treatment decisions based on tooth position, arrangement, and gingival harmony
