Approach Smile Makeovers with Composite

Transitional Bonding: The Formula for Solving Complex Cases with Composite

Learn step-by-step techniques perfect for one-tooth cases or full-mouth rehabilitation.

$4,295

Course Overview

Thursday & Friday: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
AGD Codes: 184, 254 and 780

Learn a practical technique using composite that offers many advantages over traditional composite or porcelain restorations. Patients—including those that need extensive changes for function and esthetics—love conservative treatment, whether for financial reasons or just because they don’t want their teeth “drilled down.” Requiring virtually no prep even for smile makeovers and full mouth rehabilitation cases, long-lasting results can be expected.

A very practical approach to occlusion will address problematic cases. Patients with wear, recurring fractures, or other hard-to-solve problems aren’t always hopeless. Transitional bonding can provide another “tool” for us to help more people.

This course is very different than other resin courses. It is NOT about how to layer the resins, tints, and opaquers but covers additional information that will help any doctor master their composite bonding skills.

This course changed the way I look at cases. Very excited to try this.

Course Participant

This was “the best” course I have taken. The content directly reflected the technique and concepts that I wanted to learn. I would not change anything.

Course Participant

This course is going to change the way I practice.

Course Participant

This course was very good; it challenged how I look at cases. I’m very excited to try this. This course was very easy to listen to and follow, even though I don’t have advanced education in this, I didn’t feel overwhelmed.
