"Photography, Preps and Provisionals: Critical Steps to Esthetic Excellence"-Dr. Adamo Notarantonio

Course Description

Cosmetic Dentistry involves many facets in order to be executed successfully. From smile design, to insertion, every step requires intense detail, focus and execution. This lecture will focus on the importance of preparation, from designing the facially driven smile, to preparing the teeth as minimally as possible in order to preserve as much sound tooth structure as possible. It will explore the dual importance of provisionals as they relate to overall esthetics and minimal preparations. Finally we will take a deep dive into the importance and necessity of a digital camera, and high quality photography as they relate to the initial smile design and laboratory communication.
