The Fundamentals of Restorative Dentistry: A Masterclass. Presented by Jason Smithson

Are you ever faced with these frustrations in your daily practice?

“Where do I even start?” when managing worn, misaligned, or broken-down teeth?

Patients declining treatment despite your best efforts?

Chipped or failed veneers — even when you’ve followed every protocol?

Class II contacts that never quite come together?

Post-op sensitivity haunting even your simplest cases?

Struggling to match (or beat!) porcelain with your Class IV direct composites?

Unsure when to cover cusps or go indirect in posterior restorations?

Wishing your anterior crown preps made your lab — and your patients — say “wow”?

If any of this sounds familiar, this masterclass is built for YOU.

🎓 What You’ll Get:

A 3-day hands-on and lecture-based course designed to revolutionize your restorative workflow from diagnosis and planning to clinical execution and long-term success.
