Transform your experience of practicing dentistry and increase predictability, profitability and fulfillment. The Pankey Institute's Essentials Series is the key, and aesthetic and functional treatment planning is where your journey begins. Following a system of risk assessment, patient ownership and risk management creates technical excellence and predictability. Practice dentistry the way you want, doing the procedures you enjoy most with patients who value and appreciate you and the exceptional care they receive. This course is built on an exam, diagnosis and treatment planning system based on five key areas: aesthetics, occlusion, restorative, biology and the patient. You will leave proficient with this process and ready to incorporate it into your practice the very next day.

Anterior veneers can be one of the most challenging restorative procedures we tackle. Every step of the process is more technically challenging and more complex than when we utilize full coverage restorations. In this program, we will discuss systems and technical tips and techniques that will transform how you think of veneers. Although it may be hard to imagine, making the provisionals will be easier than for full coverage preparations. 

Materials and techniques in dentistry evolve at an incredibly fast pace. In this program, we will look at some new materials and techniques to make esthetic dentistry more predictable, efficient and effective. We will cover new direct composite materials, a new category of dual-cure resin cements and the newest generation of dentin adhesives.
