Top Three Challenges Dentists Face with Porcelain Veneers

1

Achieving Natural Esthetics

Ensuring that the veneers seamlessly match the surrounding teeth in color, translucency, and texture can be difficult.
2

Managing Tooth Prep and Conservation

Preparing teeth without over-reducing enamel is critical for veneer retention and longevity while maintaining structural integrity. 
3

Ensuring Bonding Success and Longevity

Proper bonding is essential to prevent debonding, marginal leakage, or fractures. 

Meet your patient's needs with flawless porcelain veneers.

You'll learn and practice the step-by-step techniques for creating stunning porcelain veneers in this two day workshop.

the Cost

Combine the convenience of online CE with the advantage of hands-on courses.
Dental Online Training has truly made me a better dentist and significantly upped my game. I’m also much more confident with treatment planning now. In some courses, there are so many people that you feel like just a tiny person in a big room, and you don’t always get your questions answered. But that’s not the case with DOT.
