Making Your Dentistry More Fun and Profitable: The Magic of Laser-Assisted Cosmetic and Conservative Dentistry
Laser technology has become a rising star in the evolution of appearance enhancements. Dentistry has seen a huge breakthrough with the introduction of a combination of hard-soft tissue CO2, Erbium, and Diode wavelengths. The conservative nature of this technique has created a firm footing in the anti-aging trend that is spanning the globe. Among the many benefits of less invasive care and quicker healing responses, Dr. Flax has helped pioneer the “closed flap technique” that, in many cases, puts control of gingival and osseous contours into the hands of the cosmetic restorative dentist. Improved artistry has greatly reduced treatment times, enhanced income, and allowed patient satisfaction to soar better than ever. In addition, other uses of laser technology will be shown that will help doctors treat patients for ulcers, soft tissue anomalies/biopsies, and removal of decay—often without anesthesia.
Learning Objectives:
- Find out protocols which are both aesthetically beautiful and biologically healthy
- See the simple techniques that assure success for you and your patients
- Discover a guaranteed way to help your cases to finish at least 2 months earlier
- Learn updated techniques in posterior composites that are minimally invasive
Program: Half-Day, Full-Day, and Hands-On
The hands-on portion can be either laser dentistry or exquisite temporization focused.
Designing Smiles Can Be Fun--Predictable and Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry in the 21st Century
Cosmetic dentistry is no longer a novelty as it was in the 1980’s…it is serious business. Patient expectations are growing so that you must learn to master the art and science not only in the front but the back of the mouth. Fortunately, advancements in technology and materials have allowed dentists and their teams to be on the same page with the patient, lab, and specialist that help you create extraordinary results which are both predictable and profitable for the practice, and often affordable for patients.
Objectives:
- Learn critical factors in smile design that help you create beauty and “keep it real”
- See how veneer cases can be easy to do by always following four critical steps
- Discover how laser technology can make your cases aesthetically beautiful, biologically healthy, promote healing, and improve your bottom line–even two months faster in complex cases.
- Efficiently and effectively design smiles using minimally invasive preparation design and properly layering composite resin to achieve the beautiful and believable results
- Learn updated techniques in posterior composites that are minimally invasive and reliably efficient
Program: Half-Day or Full-Day
The full day is combined with The Magic of Laser Assisted Cosmetic and Conservative Dentistry
The Ultimate Masterclass of Successful Smile Design Secrets That Help Dental Teams Motivate Patients
Case acceptance and treatment success are highly dependent on team members understanding smile design and building confidence that will help patients know they are getting the best care available. Furthermore, partnerships with staff members allow them to enjoy their work and feel more loyalty to an advanced restorative environment. Ultimately the practice benefits immeasurably both financially and emotionally.
Objectives:
- Discover the key secrets to helping patients have the smile they’ve always wanted
- Understand how to help your patients and practice avoid failures in treatment
- Learn how to collect the right data to achieve beautiful and long-lasting results
- Learn new technologies to help patients see and experience their new smile–before spending a dollar
Program: Full Day
(this lecture could be full day training for staff as well)
No One Should Die With Their Teeth in a Glass: Predictable Approach to Immediate Load Implant Supported Overdentures
The public perception of losing teeth is rapidly changing. Replacement of missing teeth in traditional dentistry focused on restoring the lost tooth with dentures and bridges to provide chewing function. This approach, however, did not address the bone condition and prevent future bone loss. Oftentimes, that bone loss caused an “aging of the face”. Implantology has opened the door for people to look more attractive, be healthier, and live fuller lives. Patient demands for reaching those goals are increasing as well. They are looking for more lifelike results in a more affordable and efficient manner.With the evolution of materials and technology, a confluence of smile design, biomechanical engineering, and polymer chemistry have enabled dental teams (restorative dentists, surgeons, and lab technicians) to deliver better results than ever before. No longer does “guesswork” come into play for any immediate prosthetic restoration. Debilitation is no longer the norm. Rather, rehabilitation is the new standard.
Objectives:
- Using pre-treatment facial analysis, find out what are the critical factors in smile design and how to evaluate/capture those details in order to plan and perform full mouth rehabilitation
- Learn how to do treatment “by prescription” instead of by accident
- Discover how to use technology to not only place implants in better positions for retention and stability, but also to develop better aesthetics for alveolectomy guides and 3D printing
- Understand the options and techniques for final restorations after the implants and provisional have integrated
Program: Half-Day or Full-Day with Hands-On component (focusing on objective #1)
