Cosmetic dentistry is no longer a novelty as it was in the 1980’s……it is serious business. Patient expectations are growing so that you must learn to master the art and science not only in the front but the back of the mouth. Fortunately, advancements in technology and materials have allowed dentists and their teams to be on the same page with the patient, lab, and specialist that help you create extra-ordinary results that are predictable and profitable for the practice and often affordable for patients.

Objectives:
1. Learn critical factors in smile design that help you create beauty and “keep it real”
2. See how veneer cases can be easy to do by always doing 4 critical steps

With the advances with predictability of CAD/CAM planning and success of immediate loading of full arch prosthetics, the quality of life for the patients with terminal-dentition or edentulous patient is better served with an immediately loaded fixed, cross-arch stabilized prosthesis versus a 2-stage procedure with a delayed loading protocol. This can lead to decreased treatment times and comorbidities. We will review indications & workflows comparing and contrasting classical vs contemporary surgical and restorative workflows to provisionalize and restore the full arch All-On-X patient .

Objectives:
• You will understand the various treatment planning considerations and contraindications to qualify a patient for full arch treatment.
• Understand various prosthodontic requirements and its influence on surgical considerations
• Visualize various conversion techniques with chrome guided protocol vs conventional in office workflow vs hybrid new technologies
• Appreciate the advantages of a fully guided workflow and potential benefits on practice efficiency, revenue health, and case acceptance.
• Appreciate the biomechanical considerations influencing surgical and prosthetic success; including but not limited to implant macro/micro geometry, alveolar bone characteristics and anchorage techniques and designing the case with optimal placement and design .
• Gain an appreciation for comparison of contemporary vs classical approaches to restoring full arch restorations

The wave of DIY dentistry is starting to swell. We see the effects in our practices and hear about it through marketing campaigns, but how does dentistry respond? Being knee-to-knee with our patients, we can combat the rise of do-it-yourself dental treatments. Dentistry’s movement forward will address the desires of our patients for straighter smiles that are both functional and beautiful. We will commit to educating our patients about the importance of controlled, professional orthodontic treatment and its vital role in the stability of functional smiles that can last a lifetime.
