More Esthetic and Comprehensive Dentistry with the Trial Smile

A Lecture with M. Johnson Hagood, DDS, FAGD

Many of today’s dentists have been trained to provide advanced esthetic procedures and comprehensive dentistry and patients are demanding beautiful results. Unfortunately, few dentists are providing as much of this type of dentistry as they would like.

Are you performing less comprehensive dentistry then you desire? Do your patients value your ability to help them enough to pay a fair fee? Would you like more fulfillment in dentistry by helping people make better choices for treatment? Dr. Hagood will share the “Trial Smile” technique that will help your patients not only see what esthetic and restorative dentistry can do for them but will allow them to experience you and your team in action and will provide critical diagnostic information beyond that of a diagnostic work-up on an articulator. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to fully engage your prospective esthetic patient in an ethical, collaborative process that will lead to more comprehensive and highly- valued care.

This advanced seminar is designed for dental offices that use articulators, have an understanding of occlusion, utilize composite and porcelain veneer restorations, use digital photography, and desire to perform more comprehensive dentistry in their daily practice.

You will learn how to:

  • Increase the percentage of comprehensive care patients in your practice
  • Interview and listen to your patient
  • Understand when Trial Smile is appropriate
  • Quickly create a temporary and reversible Trial Smile by hand with ordinary composite resin
  • How to engage the patient in a co-diagnostic and collaborative relationship that leads to a more comprehensive treatment plan that is valued by the patient
