During this entertaining presentation, David will tell you how he built a $3.4M dental practice in working class western Sydney way back in 2011...

He’ll also tell you the three things that you can do IMMEDIATELY in 2024 in your dental practice that will have more new patients accepting treatment plans and making and keeping appointments, and less patients cancelling and rescheduling, so that you can double and possibly triple your practice production in a two to six year period... even during a recession...

If you want to grow your dental practice without getting up to your neck in debt, then you don’t want to miss this ground breaking presentation.

Join Formlabs Dental Applications Engineer Dr. Hari Prabhu for an immersive webinar that will introduce you to the comprehensive Form 4B ecosystem, including a hands-on demo of the new products.

In this session, Chris will explain, by way of example, how Createch Medical has added value and efficiency to his boutique crown, bridge and implant dental laboratory. Createch has the capacity to provide premium custom abutments and bars of a standard that negates the additional step of re-scanning for a passive fit. In this presentation, Chris will take delegates through the full workflow from A-Z, sharing his own experiences with this solution.

Join us for an engaging presentation on "3D Printing Made Easy" where we delve into the seamless integration of workflows and emphasise the critical importance of correct post-processing in dental applications.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the technology, discover actionable insights to elevate your practice and redefine patient care experiences with ease.

Porcelain veneers are the stock-in-trade of most aesthetic dentists and this lecture will review how to utilise Digital Smile Design (DSD) to predictably design, prep and place veneers that will satisfy your most discerning patient every single time. An overview of current porcelain veneer protocols incorporating the latest DSD techniques will be provided with an emphasis on the use of preparation guides. The labial depth guide, incisal guide and vestibular guide generated by the DSD software based on your smile design and 3D printed in-house using a quality 3D printing system such as from ASIGA provide the bridge between your digital design and your final restorations.

Full arch restorative cases using multiple implants to retain full span bridges, the so called all-on-X procedure, present unique challenges for clinicians. Accurately recording and communicating implant position to the laboratory in order to create the definitive prosthetic has presented particular challenges to the intraoral scanning systems currently in use, for example. In this session, Dr Yassmin will detail the procedure for using the Nexus iOS system that incorporates proprietary scan bodies (Nexus iOS Scan Gauges) together with AI technology to validate the accuracy of the intraoral scan in the first instance. The complete workflow will then be explained from treatment and surgical planning through to the production of temporary and definitive prosthetics using a range of technologies including DSD, VSD and exocad, all without creating a single model.

Speed sintering zirconia, milling pre-sintered/pre-crystallised ceramics, printed ceramic restorations, graphene-based polymers, 3D printed mouthguards and more! The adoption of digital dentistry in many practices and labs has led to amazing developments in the materials we use today. However, why should we care when our current materials work just fine? Should we be fixing things when they aren't broken?
