Course Outline

Smile design has entered a new era. No longer limited to traditional porcelain veneers, today’s clinicians have multiple pathways to deliver esthetic outcomes—ranging from additive direct composite techniques to digitally designed and 3D printed restorations.

This program explores the evolving spectrum of veneer therapy and how to select the right approach based on biology, function, esthetics, and patient expectations. Through clinical cases and workflows, participants will learn how to plan and execute veneers using three approaches: direct composite, printed resin, and porcelain.

Emphasis is placed on minimally invasive philosophies, digital planning, material selection, and communication with laboratory partners. Clinicians will leave with a practical framework to expand treatment options and deliver highly esthetic, predictable results.
