Description:

Esthetic dentistry concepts dominate the practices of most general dentists. However, there are so many products competing for use that the field is extremely confusing and frustrating. Although the techniques are relatively simple, selection of the most adequate concepts and devices is a challenge that directly relates to clinical success. Share Gordon's product evaluation expertise and long-term clinical experience to determine the BEST techniques and materials for the many esthetic dentistry procedures.

This two-day course provides a comprehensive, highly pragmatic overview of the major areas of esthetic restorative dentistry from diagnostic activity to treatment planning and treatment. It will include how to educate and motivate patients toward esthetic procedures for dental caries, sealants, preventive resin restorations, bleaching, microabrasion, composites (class I-VI), tooth-colored inlays and onlays, veneers (direct and indirect), all-ceramic indirect crown restorations, practice management, and how to receive the maximum benefits from third-party payment companies.

Participant Objectives:

At the completion of this course participants should be able to:


  • Go home excited about the potential for esthetic restorative dentistry in their practice

  • Motivate patients toward acceptance of esthetic restorative dentistry procedures

  • Describe the most adequate materials, devices and techniques for direct and indirect esthetic restorative dentistry

  • Compare materials and devices used for esthetic restorative dentistry procedures

  • Discuss, compare and list techniques for bleaching teeth in and out of the dental office, bonding with resin-based composite, direct resin-based composite restorations (class I-VI), indirect tooth-colored inlays and onlays, all-ceramic crowns and fixed prostheses, veneers, and others

  • Accomplish the described procedures in your practice

  • Be motivated to evaluate fees and practice management polices in esthetic restorative dentistry

1. I was very dissapointed with this course. I took the course at scottsdale center. I know Dr. C is highly respected in the field, but this course is very basic hands on (mod prep, onlay prep, very basic stuff). If your just out of school, or do not have any knowledge of dental materials take this course. I thought they were more worried about promoting their videos more than actually teaching the techniques. "Buy the videos then you'll see the technique". For $2500 I would expect more from this educator. On a positive note we got lots of samples of dental products. Added 07-11-2008

10. The program was right up there with the best and most informative I have ever attended. I was especially appreciative that no one was trying to sell me any particular product or service. The information at the Practical Esthetic Solutions course was extremely relevant. It applied directly to my everyday clinical experience and clarified issues about clinical scenarios encountered everyday in practice. From an ethical standpoint, I was grateful that it was more about research-based facts rather than being a hyped-up informercial. Added 04-01-2008

11. Program content, pace, and lecturers among the best ever. Drs. Christensen and Heymann present an extraordinarily large body of material in a coherent, well-organized way that is fast paced but easily followed by the audience. The extremely comfortable environment of the Scottsdale Center is like no other, and the collegial interaction between lecturers and audience contributes significantly to the educational experience. Added 04-01-2008
