Curriculum

What you'll
master.

01
Anterior Composite Restorations
Black triangle and Class IV techniques. Build confidence with the most common anterior presentations in general practice.
Before and after comparison of anterior composite restorations closing black triangles between lower front teeth
02
Freehand Composite Veneers
You will place 1 composite veneer freehand. Learn the layering philosophy that creates natural, lifelike depth.
Square before-and-after comparison of freehand composite veneers — the top photo shows upper teeth with an uneven biting edge and a chipped lateral incisor; the bottom photo shows the teeth after treatment, whiter and uniformly shaped, with a central Dr Sam Aesthetics banner
03
Peg Lateral Transformations
Proportional, lifelike reconstructions completed in a single appointment, using direct composite.
Before and after peg lateral transformation: the top photo shows a small pointed lateral incisor with gaps on either side; the bottom photo shows the restored teeth with the peg lateral corrected to a natural shape and the gaps closed
04
Shade Matching, Layering and Polishing
Value, chroma and hue demystified. Real-world application using the materials available in your practice to create a natural polish for long lasting lustre.
