Instructor:
Corky Willhite, DDS
Dr. Corky Willhite has been awarded Fellowship by the Academy of General Dentistry and the American College of Dentists. He is one of only 42 Fellows of over 8,000 American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry members worldwide and has served on their Board of Governors (currently American Board of Cosmetic Dentistry) and spent years as an Examiner for Accreditation.
This two-part course illustrates a frequently underused and underestimated type of dentistry. Direct composite resin restoration is often a second thought when one considers the treatment modalities available to them. Given the conservative nature of direct bonding many patients will select it over veneers or other options.
Some consider it a lost art over taken by a faster more durable form of cosmetic dentistry. However, Dr. Willhite shares his philosophy on why it should be considered and shares information regarding the longivety and strength of direct resin. This course covers conservative preparation design, adhesive placement techniques, cosmetic contouring and finishing of anterior and posterior direct composite resin restorations.
- Discover a step-by-step approach using direct composite resin restorations.
- Learn how to perform shade matching and color mapping.
- Understand the importance of using a layering technique to achieve a natural looking restoration.
- Learn conservative preparation design, adhesive placement techniques, cosmetic contouring and finishing of anterior and posterior direct composite resin restorations.
