The Fundamentals of Restorative Dentistry: A Masterclass. Presented by Jason Smithson
Do you often think “where do I start” when a patient presents with teeth which are not in the ideal position or are worn?
Do your patients often say “no” when you present treatment plans?
Do your ceramic or composite veneers chip or break soon after placement?
In your daily practice life do you struggle with getting great contacts with class 2 directs?
Do you get post-operative sensitivity?
Would you like to create class 4 directs that rival or even exceed porcelain aesthetics?
When you restore posterior teeth do you struggle to decide when to cover cusps and when to go indirect?
Would you like to prep anterior crowns which are simply “wow” ?
If you have answered “yes” then this may be the class for you.
A brand-new class for 2026 sharing 30-years of practical clinical experience: success and failure and everything in between.
