About the Course

Course Description

In this course, you'll learn an efficient and repeatable workflow for managing cosmetic rehabilitation and veneer cases. You'll discover how to use your provisional temporaries not just as placeholders, but as essential tools in guiding conservative—or even prep LESS—veneer designs.

We’ll dive into the biomechanics and design considerations behind successful cases, and show you two different approaches to temporization that enhance lab communication and improve case outcomes. With a focus on leveraging the materials and tools you already have in your practice, this course will help you master your smile design visits with predictability, precision, and profitability.

Learning Topics

  • Discover a practical and unique cosmetic rehabilitation workflow using materials already in your practice
  • Learn how to properly document and plan cosmetic cases for predictable, repeatable outcomes
  • Understand why temporaries are the most critical part of smile design—and how to optimize their design and material selection
  • Master communication with both your laboratory and your patients to ensure aligned expectations and successful results
