Abstract
Dr. Milnar will be sharing his journey of using pink composite for enhancing patient satisfaction and profitability. Gingival recession is a common condition in dental practice. Many patients choose not to undergo surgical grafting procedures due to the associated pain and expense. As a result, dentists often use white composite to restore recession, which can create a visually unpleasing "long tooth" appearance for the patient. Dr. Milnar will share techniques for treating gingival recession with pink (gingival) composite. He will discuss prep design, shade selection/blending, adhesion, placement, and finishing and polishing when restoring with pink composite. Dentists can avoid mistakes by using high-quality and user-friendly restorative products and provide patients with esthetically pleasing and healthy outcomes. This CE webinar is essential for enhancing your skill set and improving everyday dentistry with both esthetics and patient well-being in mind. By offering a pink composite restoration, you can set your practice apart and increase profitability while meeting patients' expectations.
