Teeth Whitening: Enhancing Smiles Safely and Effectively
2024-10-12 14:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | LifeLong Learning Institute, 11 Eunos Road 8, 408601, Singapore
Whitening is one of the simplest procedures performed in a dental office yet many dentists are afraid of performing dental whitening due to past experiences of inconsistent and poor results.
In this presentation, see how every whitening case is done to maximising patient comfort and satisfaction while minimising post op complains and stress for the clinician. Learn how to properly identify and diagnose dental discolourations, so that we can treat these conditions predictably and consistently. Incorporate a combination of in-office whitening and take-home whitening to provide your patients with a conservative way to treat dental discolourations. Maximise in-office whitening results using the established clinical protocol that has been tried, tested and proven with thousands of happy patients.
Join us for this event to gain insights into clinical protocols that eliminate miscommunications between dentist and patient.
