Max's Es-Ca

The beauty of an esthetic dentistry lecture is that it applies to not only restorative providers, but specialists as well. Esthetic dentistry is a booming business and our patients’ expectations are increasing every day. This lecture will enable participants to review the fundamentals of dental esthetics with real life application and find ways to improve outcomes in their practice. It will also include information on how soft tissue, hard tissue, vertical dimension and intraoral and extraoral structures impact esthetics. Upon successful completion of this lecture, attendees will:

  • Understand trends in esthetics over time.
  • Identify fundamentals of dental esthetics.
  • Distinguish criteria that influence treatment success.
  • Comprehend the influence of multidisciplinary treatment on dental esthetics.
