Exceptional Porcelain Veneers (EPV) Hobart, Tasmania

Venue & ticket info

A hands on porcelain veneer course focused on diagnosis, preparation, bonding and occlusion for predictable aesthetic outcomes COURSE OVERVIEW Please note: this is a 2-day masterclass, held across both Saturday and Sunday. Attendance provides 16 hours of CPD. This course integrates evidence based lectures with intensive hands on exercises. With a strong practical focus, participants gain the confidence and clarity to translate these protocols directly into everyday practice. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Consultation and case acceptance Understand a structured consultation process that guides patients toward high value treatment options, improves conversion and supports confident decision making. Smile design principles Learn how to assess facial and dental aesthetics and modify design parameters to achieve either natural outcomes or a high impact Hollywood style result. Motivational mock-ups Use mock-ups to help patients visualise outcomes, confirm consent prior to preparation and allow the clinician to critically evaluate and refine the design. Dental material biochemistry Understand surface treatment protocols for silica based ceramics such as feldspathic, lithium disilicate and LiSi, as well as non silica materials including zirconia and metals. Explore immediate versus delayed dentine sealing and tooth surface preparation for predictable bonding. Preparation design A comprehensive overview of Type I to Type IV veneer preparations. Learn how to determine preparation depth, when to open contacts, incisal edge design, elbow preparations and strategies to effectively hide margins. Soft tissue management Explore surgical and non surgical crown lengthening techniques, including indications, execution and expected outcomes. Learn strategies for managing black triangles to optimise aesthetic results. Impression techniques Compare analogue and digital workflows, understanding the advantages, limitations and appropriate clinical applications of each. Occlusion concepts Understand traditional and contemporary occlusal philosophies and how they influence the longevity and predictability of porcelain veneer restorations. Temporisation techniques Learn three predictable temporisation methods with a focus on soft tissue management, ease of removal and minimising breakage. Cementation protocols Master isolation and soft tissue retraction techniques that minimise trauma. Understand when to bond versus lute restorations for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. HOW YOU WILL LEARN This program provides a structured and highly interactive learning environment, combining concise didactic lectures with extensive hands on clinical training. Throughout the course, a large and experienced faculty team is available to provide individual supervision, answer questions and ensure participants develop clarity, precision and confidence in applying these protocols to everyday clinical practice. Practical components include • Prescribing smile designs across five patient cases, developing the ability to identify universally accepted aesthetic principles, recognise key diagnostic markers and communicate clear, predictable design parameters • Fabrication of custom putty keys, including incisal reduction, B plane reduction and ideal mock-up, to ensure precise translation of the planned outcome • Minimal preparation using the APT technique and preparation of twelve maxillary teeth, encompassing Type I through Type IV porcelain veneer preparations • Advanced temporisation techniques that are ultra cleansable , with a focus on soft tissue stability, durability and ease of maintenance Cancellation Policy • More than 30 days prior to the course date: A full refund will be provided. • Within 30 days of the course date: A 50% refund will be provided. • Within 15 days of the course date: No refunds will be available. This policy is in place due to the limited number of places and the resources required to deliver a high-quality hands-on educational experience.
