Anterior Tooth Veneers: A Digital Protocol for Fabricating Functional and Esthetic Restorations
Veneers on anterior teeth: a digital protocol for manufacturing functional and aesthetic restorations
Course overview
Jan Hajtó, the world’s leading expert in the application of digital technologies in aesthetic dentistry, will present a comprehensive guide on how to create aesthetic and long-lasting veneers using modern digital protocols.
During the course, you will learn:
How to use digital technologies for diagnosis, treatment planning and veneer fabrication
How to take functional aspects into account when designing veneers
How to create accurate models of patients’ smiles using modern digital tools for dental scanning and modeling.
The lecturer will share valuable practical insights on the design and creation of veneers, including material selection, how to achieve coordinated shape and color, and how to address bonding challenges. You will discover how to achieve a harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality for optimal results.
