Using Digital Dentistry for Predictable Comprehensive Care

December 1, 2017 @ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm

Presented by Dr. Kevin Kwiecien

Sponsored by Patterson Dental and Centric Bank

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

True or False? Comprehensive dentistry is too hard. CAD/CAM dentistry is for one-tooth dentists. Historically, most dentists believe one or both to be true. Today, CAD/CAM dentistry is facilitating and even complimenting the comprehensive approach to patient care. From treatment planning esthetic, occlusal, structural and biological outcomes, to more efficient and reliable restorative results, the blending is not just a concept anymore. This course will help the modern practitioner see the benefit of digital and comprehensive care and how together they can create a practice that is fun, comprehensive, predictable, and efficient.
