Predictible Cosmetic Dentistry, day 1 report at the Dawson course
I just finished the first day of the "Predictable Cosmetic Dentistry" course in Denver. This course is put on by the Dawson Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Dawson Institute focuses on functional and esthetics when doing dentistry. When we, as dentists, work on front teeth there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration. Speech, color, tooth contours and having a correct bite are just some of the things we look at to make sure our patients are happy with their new teeth. One of the main things the speaker said was, "measure twice, and cut once." When doing dental work, we are cutting on teeth and it is very important to make sure we have the end in mind so everything is done predictably. Great course!
