“TECHSTHETICS” and
“WHICH PREP WOULD YOU LIKE DONE ON YOU?”
COURSE DESCRIPTION
There is a time-delay between the development of a technology and its widespread use; yet, many of us are confused about how to maximize our technologies, which to buy, what steps to take and the return on investment we can achieve.In addition to the describing the seamless digital visit, Dr. Freydberg will also show the relationship between technology and esthetic dentistry, or “TECHSTHETICS” which can enhance the acceptance and performance of esthetic procedures.
Achieving acceptance with technology and digital communication is accelerated when “pain” is eliminated from the equation. Dr. Freydberg will also examine the controversies of high-tech “no-prep” veneers and crowns vs. the “traditional” methods often used and taught today.
