We dentists spend a great deal of our time performing “simple” procedures, especially early in our careers. Crowns, inlays, onlays and direct restorations are by far the most frequently performed procedures in restorative practice.
When they go smoothly, they are enjoyable, profitable confidence builders. When they don’t go smoothly, the result is lost revenue, wasted time, poor clinical outcomes, and unhappy patients.
Today, we will focus on reliable techniques, tools and materials that lead to restorative excellence.
Best of all…. these techniques will elevate the quality of your restorations, while simultaneously decreasing the time needed to complete them, so they are helpful whether you work Fee for Service or In-Network, as an Associate or Practice Owner.
In this jam-packed hour, I will share some of the tips, tricks and valuable lessons I've learned from 30 years in clinical practice.
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain how you can easily make your composite restorations more beautiful and more durable
- Master bur selection and preparation design
- Discuss the 5 minute crown insert. Learn why some of your crowns and onlays just "drop right in" while others aren't even close (Hint, it isn't always the lab's fault).
- Identify the factors you should (and shouldn't) be using to select tools and materials for your procedures.
