An Affordable Solution for Today’s Modern Practice
In today’s economy, many patients are seeking and choosing a more affordable solution for esthetic and functional treatment. Composite resin and new techniques can be used to provide esthetic results with excellent clinical performance. Those dentists who perfect their skill with direct composite resin will surely be busier than those who don’t.
At The Nash Institute, you’ll learn about modern materials and techniques for placing all types of direct composite restoration in this two day HANDS-ON composite course. Hands-on exercises will be completed by each participant for preparation, placement and finishing for Class I, II, III, IV and V anterior and posterior restorations. We will emphasize the use of direct composite resin veneers for elective smile enhancements in combination with restorative dentistry using innovative techniques. All materials and instrumentation will be provided. Participants need only to bring loupes, if they wish. This direct composite dentistry training course is designed for dentists with all levels of experience. Dentists, EFDAs and Chairside Assistants will benefit from this comprehensive program.
Course Description:
This course is designed for dental professionals seeking to master the art and science of composite restorations. This comprehensive program focuses on modern techniques, material selections, and advanced layering strategies to achieve highly esthetic and functional outcomes in anterior and posterior restorations.
