Attending the aesthetic dentistry tour offers a unique opportunity to enhance your skills and practice offerings. Participants will gain valuable insights into our innovative clear aligner system, TrioClear™, and the align & restore technique, which can significantly improve patient outcomes.

The hands-on workshop will allow attendees to master the composite injection technique, ensuring they stay at the forefront of dental aesthetics. Additionally, learning about the cutting-edge concept of zirconia veneers, ZirNEERS, will equip dentists with the knowledge to offer advanced restorative options. Finally, testing various scanner models from leading brands like Medit, 3Shape, and ELETRA, will provide practical experience with the latest technology, ultimately enhancing their service delivery and patient satisfaction.
