KEEP IT SIMPLE PLEASE
8 or 10 units of maxillary anterior veneers or a combination of
veneers, crowns, bridges and composite bonding.
You are looking for a case that presents with light discoloration, fluorosis, small diastema
closure, worn dentition and
minor rotations.
Each dentist will have an AACD accredited member to guide
you through the preparation to the insertion of your case. The focus
will be on treatment planning, smile design, preparation design,
use of preparation guides, impression techniques, temporization and the art of recountouring.

presentation skills will be taught.
Patient Selection
Our experience has shown to be the
easiest patients to use in a learning environment is a staff or
a family member that is in need of 8-10 veneers. If a staff
member is used as your patient this member will have a
beautifully restored smile and will aide you in showcasing your
cosmetic abilities to future cosmetic patients.
