Cosmetic Dentistry of Colorado's Blog

I spent the last week of April at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry’s annual scientific convention. I believe this was my 14th meeting in a row. As always, it was a great week of learning and catching up with old friends.

I was also very busy this week as I had 3 presentations during the course of the meeting. The Academy asked me to give a presentation on Elective, Cosmetic Dentistry for Young Adults and Adolescents. This is one of my favorite presentations. As so many young people now want to maximize the appearance of their smiles I believe it is important to do so in a conservative manner. Additionally, I did a workshop to help other dentists learn the many different ways to prepare teeth for porcelain veneers. Lastly, I had a presented a program discussing a new composite (tooth-colored filling material) that has some unique properties and interesting potential. Interestingly enough this material is produced by a Colorado company, Septodont!

Then, when I wasn’t learning or teaching I sat in some review courses to prepare me for my upcoming pursuit of obtaining my Accreditation in the AACD. So looks like I’ll be taking even more photographs in the office over the next few years!

The AACD meeting is always a great learning and sharing experience from me and a wonderful place for any dentist to learn what is on the cutting edge of cosmetic dentistry. For patients it is a great information resource. Patients can go to www.aacd.com and find many answers to their questions regarding cosmetic dentistry.
