Two Days of Workshops

Dr. Ballard will guide you through an effective workflow that seamlessly transitions from a digital scan to a refined outcome within a single day, using precision guides. This technique empowers dentists to achieve beautiful results rapidly and with a healthy profit margin. This is not injection molding or unpredictable hand layering. You don’t need to be a Picasso to deliver stunning results with guided veneers!
