Adult patients are the largest growing population seeking orthodontic treatment. Many adult patients seek clear aligners as an esthetic alternative to traditional bracket and wire treatment. Yet many adult patients present with complex restorative treatment needs that can be complimented by orthodontic treatment for improved clinical outcomes with interdisciplinary treatment plans. Adult patients require a different patient experience and seek convenient and efficient treatment. The course will cover the basics of aligner design, materials, and mechanical advantages to understand the importance of product selection in complex adult treatment plans. The CE webinar will also explore the digital workflow and digital ecosystem for office efficiency and optimal patient experience. After the webinar, the attendee should be able to evaluate and select an aligner system for complex interdisciplinary cases, and evaluate how to implement a digital workflow for enhanced treatment planning and patient experience.


Smarter Smile Design: Align, Whiten, and Restore
Presenter: Dr. Nicholas Garcia
Sponsor: uLab Systems
Mon  11/2/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Tue  11/3/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
In this CE webinar, join Dr. Nicholas Garcia for a practical discussion on integrating clear aligners into everyday esthetic dentistry—particularly for patients considering whitening, veneers, or other cosmetic improvements. Using a scan-first approach, Dr. Garcia will demonstrate how he evaluates tooth position, spacing, and occlusion before developing a treatment plan. Attendees will learn how to determine when to align, when to restore, and when combining treatments may create a more conservative and predictable path to the desired esthetic outcome. The webinar will provide a straightforward framework for recognizing anterior esthetic aligner opportunities, sequencing complementary services, and confidently presenting comprehensive treatment options to patients.

Using Clear Aligners to Set up a Great Restorative Outcome
Presenter: Dr. Sheila Samaddar
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Restorative dentistry often delivers the best results when teeth are ideally positioned before treatment begins. This 1-hour CE webinar explores how clear aligner therapy can be used strategically to create a foundation for long-lasting, esthetic, and functional restorative outcomes. Participants will learn how to identify cases where minor tooth movement simplifies restorative procedures, reduces invasiveness, and enhances patient satisfaction. The webinar will cover treatment planning principles, sequencing aligners with restorative phases, and effective patient communication to encourage acceptance of pre-restorative orthodontics. Through case examples, clinicians will gain practical skills to integrate aligner therapy seamlessly into everyday restorative care.







Cluster Shading - The Next Generation of Esthetic Restoratives
Presenter: Mr. Gregor Connell
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The only constant in dental materials is change! Technological and chemical innovations are offering impressive advancements. Today’s conventional composites offer clinicians two options: First, the esthetic traditional layering technique and second, the bulk-fill technique. The former being the choice for most restorations in the anterior smile zone and the latter, often selected for the posterior regions of the mouth. While bulk-fill materials typically are deep-curing, time saving and offer clinical efficiency, they too often lack the esthetic properties required for beautiful esthetically demanding anterior restorations. For this reason, most clinicians have a second composite system in office that is designed to be placed in two-millimeter increments and will sometimes require a variety of shades to meet the esthetic demands. A new next-generation of resin composites is emerging. One that offers you the clinical efficiency of a bulk-fill, with an easy cluster shade-matching protocol and phenomenal esthetics! With outstanding, non-sticky handling and excellent polishability, perhaps now you only need one class of material for all of your restorative needs. At the conclusion of the CE webinar the attendees will have a clearer understanding of the clinical impact that this new chemistry and technology can have on their everyday restorative dentistry. More importantly, the attendees can evaluate if these evolutions may have a place in their own clinical practice.







The Importance of Orthodontic Aligner Therapy for Minimally Invasive Dentistry

Whether due to insufficient bone, medical contraindications, financial constraints, or patient preferences, single-tooth implants aren’t the solution for every case. That’s where fiber-reinforced bridges come in. To tell us all about the wonders of fiber-reinforced bridges is our guest, Dr. Marvin Chacon. With over 15 years of clinical dentistry experience, he obtained his Master's in Aesthetic Dentistry from King's College London in 2022. As a clinical trainer and speaker, he focuses on modern dental materials and innovative techniques under the "minimum Intervention" approach.

One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.

Dentists face significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and burnout than the general population—and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. Our guest today is Dr. Joshua Austin, a full-time restorative dentist. He lectures nationally and internationally on clinical dentistry and mental health. Dr. Austin understands the pressures of operating a dental practice firsthand. After going through a period of intense stress, he realized something had to change. He made the decision to rebuild—not just his practice, but his life. Today, we’re going to hear that story—the struggles, the wake-up call, and the intentional steps he took to find joy in dentistry again.
