Quick, Predictable & Beautiful Solutions to Restoring Anterior Composites & Black Triangles

Guest Instructor: Dr. Susan McMahon

Live Demonstration Webinar

Achieving beautiful invisible restorations with direct anterior composite is a challenge for many clinicians. Anterior composites often are visible due to lack of line angles, facial anatomy and surface texture. This course will give you the secrets to fast and predictable placement, anatomy, surface texture and finishing. Your composites will look like you spent hours of chair time but it will only take minutes.
