Function and Aesthetics Restorations that Last!

01-03-2012

Sunita Verma, Principal Dentist at Sparkle Dental Boutique recently attended an actioned packed two day seminar “Function and Aesthetics Restorations that Last!” to enhance her skills in restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

The course was delivered by Ian Buckle and Ken Hamlett, at the Royal College of Physicians in London and involved lectures and practical hands on sessions. It was a great chance for Sunita to meet up with her mentor Ken Hamlett, who travelled from Texas where he is an eminent cosmetic dentist. Sunita has previously trained under Ken’s guidance and gained a whole new approach to her smile makeover work, which has been subsequently recognised at the Smile Awards.

We have in the UK a population who want to look their best and keep their teeth for a lifetime and as patients keep their teeth longer some dentitions are simply wearing out. Sunita realises that her patients’ dental needs are changing and they deserve the best techniques, materials and treatments available in order to satisfy their dental needs.

The first day lectures covered examination, diagnosis, treatment planning and delivery. The second day was a practical hands-on session. Course participants were encouraged to bring in study models, photos and x-rays of patients so that they could share knowledge and understand the advanced treatment planning process.

Having completed the course Sunita says, “I left the course feeling that my restorative work will have an extra dimension of finesse and that my temporary veneers would look more natural than ever. I also feel that I will be able to provide my patients with more predictable, longer lasting, beautiful results”.
