LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED AN ESTHETIC PATIENT BEFORE THE MEETING. PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BRING THEIR OWN TMD/ MIGRAINE PATIENTS.THESE PATIENTS REQUIRE AT LEAST 100UNITS OF BOTOX SO PLEASE INFORM US AHEAD OF TIME TO BRING ADDITIONAL BOTOX. THIS WILL BE SOLD TO YOU FOR $600 INCL AN INJECTION KIT.
Course 2: COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL ESTHETIC INJECTIBLE FILLERS FOR IDEAL FACIAL & SMILE ESTHETICS
Learn how to use injectible fillers ( like Restylane®, Juvaderm Ultra and Ultra Plus ® etc) to improve the appearance of the skeletal profile and lips to match the smile, and dental esthetics of the individual patient.
New Botox-filler combination procedures that enhance and prolong chin and cheekbones build-ups are covered. The pharmacology and physiological mechanisms for all Botulinum toxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myoblock) and new anesthetic enhanced fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) on the US market are reviewed. Real live patients will be presented and treated with the goal of helping the attendee become more comfortable in diagnosis and treatment.
This course is for the contemporary dental office which also does cosmetic dentistry, implants, endodontics, periodontics and orthodontics.
Participants will also learn how to eliminate nasiolabial folds, Marionette lines, smoker’s lines
Cost of program: $1695 excluding filler materials (sold at cost at meeting). All other necessary materials including local anesthetic and disposable syringes supplied by course organizers.
Attendees are invite to bring their own local anesthetic syringes if they do not want to use a 5cc disposable syringe.
What you will learn:
- Ideal pre-treatment anesthesia –instant anesthesia with minimal local anesthetic. This is important in preventing inflammation and distortion of the tissues prior to injecting. Pre-treatment assessment becomes difficult if too much or the wrong anesthetic is used.
- Creating natural lips to match smiles.
- Learn how to correctly diagnose and visualize how you would like your patient to appear before treatment results in a perfect outcome
- Prevent bad technique that results in “clown”, “duck” or “fish lips”.
- Which materials to choose & avoid – which last the longest and cause the least adverse reactions
- Skeletal Soft tissue profile improvement – Class II patients lips appear to be Class I ; Class III appear to be Class I
- Correcting yours & others’ mistakes. Your new diagnostic skills will easily show you what should be done – correcting mistakes is easy when you know how the mistake was made.
Patient selection for the program:
Select patients who do not require major face-lifts. Your ideal patients are those that require minimal peri-oral improvement (lips, chins, marionette lines, labiomental folds, nasio-labial folds, class II profile correction, class III profile correction). The patients that need the treatment the least are your best patients.
