Overview:

In today’s world, the clinical practice of restorative dentistry is a very exciting and challenging endeavor for the “wet gloved practitioner.” Consistent, predictable, clinical techniques to create quality dental restorations in a time efficient manner form the basis of every procedure that we perform for our patients. Effective use of new technologies in dentistry will help create a more pleasant patient experience, allow you to add more clinical procedures for your current patient base, and differentiate your practice in the marketplace. Chair time, as always, is our most precious commodity, so profitability starts by working efficient, working smart, and expanding your current services that you provide. In this technique filled seminar, Dr. Lowe will teach you the skills you need to refine your clinical skills to a level that will help you create consistent quality. New technologies, such as dental lasers, computerized shade matching, and digital impression making will be discussed along with how implementation of these technologies can help the “bottom line” of your practice. A discussion regarding the latest dental materials and delivery modalities will help in treatment planning even the most difficult functional and aesthetically challenging cases. A new portion of Dr. Lowe’s lecture baseman his clinical articles will discuss Clinical Solutions to different challenges that we as dentists face at the chair every day.

Don’t miss this technique oriented seminar that is geared toward delivering useful clinical information that can be implemented in practice immediately having a positive impact on the “bottom line” of your practice!
