Next-Level Chairside Esthetics: Customizing Restorations with Stain, Glaze, and Finishing Techniques
About This Event
In this course, Dr. Justin Chi demonstrates how to elevate chairside restorations using advanced staining, glazing, and finishing techniques for monolithic restorations. Through real patient cases and a live demonstration, he explores how to enhance esthetically demanding cases by applying surface characterization. He reviews infusing translucency effects, body shading, and white spot detailing to mimic natural dentition. The course also covers the use of finishing tools and liquid ceramic kits, offering practical insights into brush techniques, firing cycles, and polishing strategies. Attendees will learn how to achieve custom restorations that blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth.
