Anterior veneers can be one of the most challenging restorative procedures we tackle. Every step of the process is more technically challenging and more complex than when we utilize full coverage restorations. In this program, we will discuss systems and technical tips as well as techniques that will transform how you think of veneers. Although it may be hard to imagine, making the provisionals will be easier than for full coverage preparations. 

Although implant dentistry is highly predictable, achieving optimal anterior implant aesthetics can be challenging. This program explores how to differentiate high risk and low risk anterior implant cases and optimize esthetic outcomes. Attendees will learn surgical and prosthetic treatment planning, pre surgical augmentation, fixture positioning and surgical management to create the optimal anterior implant site. The course will also examine advanced prosthetic techniques and fabrication of custom implant provisionals to help make anterior implant success more predictable.

Have you ever wondered why, after prepping a second molar for a crown, the occlusal of the prep is in contact with the opposing tooth? Altering a tooth’s chewing surface impacts the entire stomatognathic system and can affect restorative success, comfort and patient trust. This session explores everyday occlusal challenges and how appliance therapy can support diagnosis, treatment and predictable restorative outcomes. Attendees will identify signs of occlusal disease, explore centric relation and anterior guidance and learn bite splint treatment protocols and strategies for managing occlusion in restorative practice.
