Take Charge of Your Practice
With Smile Arte Courses
Begin With the End in Mind:
New Concepts in Prep-Less Porcelain Veneers
Master one of the most sought-after techniques in cosmetic dentistry today: prep-less veneers. Alongside Josh Walker, CDT, Dr. Nabors will cover everything you need to know in this comprehensive course. Compared to traditional prep cases, we’ll be using advanced ceramic materials that are not only thinner and stronger, but even more lifelike than ever before.
We’ll cover case selection and diagnostics, design, photography, mockups, communication and lab processes, case delivery, cementing the veneers in place, and proper aftercare. We invite attendees to submit a potential no-prep case beforehand for our review. This will allow you to hit the ground running with everything you need once you return home.
Tuition cost is $7,995, and the course is suitable for not only dentists but also dental hygienists, dental assistants, and business team members. While this course can be taught remotely, our emphasis on hands-on training is best experienced in Nashville.
Cosmetic Plus 1
This course is taught over the course of two weekends and follows one case from start to finish. We’ll train your staff on case diagnosis, planning, setup, prep-design, and temporization, and the following weekend (unless it’s a no-prep case), on case delivery.
Tuition cost is $7,995, and we invite dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and business team members from your office to attend.
