Modernizing Composite Veneers In Your Practice: Using Technology to Make You Love Seeing These On Your Schedule
Educational Objectives
After watching this webinar, the viewer should be able to:
- Outline an efficient and effective case selection, record-taking, and consultation protocol that sets patient expectations and improves case acceptance for composite veneer treatment.
- Explain the role of digital smile design in translating a treatment plan into a predictable, guided chairside outcome.
- Instruct a chairside composite veneer technique using a pre-designed digital matrix and summarize alternative systems.
- Select composite materials appropriate for veneer cases based on physical properties, strength, esthetics, and polishability.
Abstract
For many dentists, composite veneers carry a reputation earned in an earlier era: tedious and time consuming freehand sculpting, unpredictable outcomes, and a procedure only the most patient and most artistically inclined providers choose to execute. That reputation is outdated.
This course reframes composite veneers as an efficient, predictable, beautiful, and profitable-- a procedure you'll be glad to see on your schedule, rather than dread. Attendees will learn a complete, technology-driven workflow that takes this additive procedure from an unpredictable freehand exercise to a guided, repeatable clinical protocol that appeals to both doctors and patients.
Participants will walk through the full patient journey: record taking and consultation strategies that set expectations and streamline case acceptance, digital smile design principles that translate directly to a chairside outcome, and the placement techniques that make it all possible. The course also covers contemporary composite material selection for strength, esthetics, and polishability, along with practical tips and case selection strategies gathered from real-world practice.
By the end of this course, attendees will have a clear, actionable framework for offering exceptional composite veneers with confidence, dramatically reducing chair time and design uncertainty, while consistently delivering outcomes patients seek and love.
