This course is for the dentist with a basic understanding of esthetic restorative procedures who wants a system to take esthetic diagnosis and treatment to the highest level. It builds upon the UCLA Aesthetic Continuum with advanced hands-on training. Multi Unit anterior cases are tricky because the dentist has to set up the case, use good smile design, properly prepare the case, and work with the lab to get the highest esthetic result.
This is the only course that teaches dentists the following in a hands-on workshop:
- How to design, treatment sequence, prepare and deliver (you will do all of these cases in the workshop):
- multi-unit direct composite veneer case with life-like translucency and polish
- multi-unit porcelain veneer cases
- all-ceramic crowns that match existing teeth
- diastema closure and complex bonding with invisible margins & perfect match
- anterior bridge using metal-free frameworks and life-like pontic/tissue adaptation
- How to contour restorations and temporaries to look like natural teeth (taught with a specific exercise)
- A system of Smile Design analysis that will make sure you cover all the bases and get the best results
- How digital photography will get better results from the lab and communicate effectively with your patient
- How to take excellent multi-unit impressions (without cord) that show every margin
- How to do a mock-up and understand why it is the most essential tool for predictable esthetics
- How to keep veneers from breaking, and how to use “the contact lens effect”
- How to make exquisite TEMPORARIES with great margins and high esthetics
- How to use a special matrix to speed up direct composite bonding and get better results
- How to bond restorations with “ZERO” sensitivity and high bond strength
- How to make a “flat bottom” pontic and why it gets a better result than an ovate pontic in most cases
- How to find a good lab, and how to work with a technician/ceramist to produce superior esthetic results
- How to pass AACD Accreditation and see cases like an “Examiner”
- How to build good occlusion into your cosmetic cases, and how to treat bigger cases
- Strategies for structuring fees in your community, in your practice
This is an all-hands-on course taught in a very supportive and caring environment. ALL SKILL LEVELS WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE AND RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION. Each participant will work with specially designed typodonts that help dentists work through specific esthetic problems encountered in everyday general practice. Dentists will have laboratory work completed by the lab that they use and should expect to work hard during the course. Dr. Morley will teach methods for setting up and sequencing cases that he uses in his own successful esthetic private practice. Total hands-on experience and critique will be used to prepare participants for success in selecting, diagnosing and treating patients within their own practices. Skills learned in this course will allow participants to reach a higher level of performance in cosmetic dentistry whether or not they plan to present for AACD Accreditation.
