Appearance and self-esteem have long been intertwined. So, as our social media and selfie culture continues to grow, it's no surprise that cosmetic dentistry has been requested in record numbers. More and more people, from every age group, desire to enhance their natural appearances. We need to respond to these desires for an idealized smile. Offer conservative and cost-effective options to patients, because it's never been more relevant. This course shows direct composite veneers made with a template system.
