Community and Mentorship
The Restorative Master Series: Anterior Crowns & Provisionals is designed for dentists who can prepare anterior teeth, but know the space between planning and final delivery could be stronger.
Maybe your provisionals do not reflect the final vision.
Maybe patients struggle to visualise the result.
Maybe lab communication feels clunky.
Maybe you can prep the tooth, but the mock-up, temporary, shade communication and consent process do not yet feel as predictable as they should.
This 1 day course takes you through anterior indirect restorative workflows with a specific focus on tooth shape, aesthetic planning, chairside mock-ups, anterior crown preparations, temporaries, shade photography, consent and communication.
You will learn through on-demand lectures, live online simulation training, practical exercises and educator feedback designed to help you connect the aesthetic plan to the clinical execution.
STOP WASTING CHAIR TIME
A bad temporary can make a patient
question the whole case.
Anterior dentistry is emotional.
Patients are not just looking at margins, materials and prep design. They are looking at their smile. They are wondering whether they made the right decision. They are trying to picture the final result while staring at what you have placed in their mouth today.
That is why provisionals matter.
A temporary crown is not just a placeholder. It is the aesthetic blueprint, the communication tool, the test drive and often the thing that determines whether your patient feels calm, confident or quietly terrified.
This 1 day course is built to help you plan, mock up, prepare and temporise anterior indirect restorations with more control, so the temporary supports the final result instead of undermining it.
COURSE INCLUSIONS
Learn. Practise. Implement. Get support.
On-demand theory
Watch clinical lectures at your own pace before the live session, so hands-on training is about application — not information overload.
Live online simulation training
A full-day practical session focused on anterior tooth mock-ups, crown preparation and temporaries. You will practise chairside mock-ups, use them to guide crown preparations, then create hygienic temporaries that mimic the mocked-up design.
Full anterior indirect workflow
Beyond "prep then hope" - aesthetic planning, mock-ups, preparation design, temporisation, shade communication, lab communication, consent and risk management all covered in sequence.
Community access
A restorative-focused clinician community to ask questions, share challenges and keep building after the training.
Optional mentorship add-on
Study clubs and case guidance sessions for dentists who want structured support after the course.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Other courses teach information.
This teaches implementation.
You do not need another lecture that tells you onlays are conservative. You need to know how to actually plan them, prepare them, isolate them, choose the right material and cement them with confidence.
The Restorative Master Series: Modern Onlays & Overlays is built to help you make better posterior indirect decisions, preserve more tooth structure where appropriate and deliver restorations that are functional, durable and clinically justified.
Shape of teeth mock-up + crown prep with temporaries
Practise chairside anterior mock-ups, use the mocked-up design to guide crown preparations, then fabricate hygienic temporaries that reflect the plan.
Shape of teeth
Develop a stronger understanding of anterior tooth morphology — incisal edges, line angles, lobes, surface texture, light reflection and gingival relationships.
Treatment planning anterior indirect restorations
Plan anterior aesthetic cases using patient-centred communication, photography, diagnostic tools, mock-ups and lab communication.
Prepping for success: anterior indirect restorations
Anterior preparation design, core build-ups, material considerations, tissue management, isolation, impressions and scanning.
Shade matching photography
Use structured photography, colour theory, filters, grey cards and standardised lab communication to improve shade accuracy and reduce remakes.
Temporaries
Build a clearer approach to anterior temporaries so they support aesthetics, function, hygiene, patient confidence and the final restorative plan.
Consent, communication & risk management
Manage patient expectations, document clearly, identify risk, communicate limitations and support informed decision-making in complex aesthetic cases.
WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR
This is for the dentist who can prep anterior teeth — but wants the provisional to finally match the plan.
Designed for dentists with anterior crown preparation competence who want to improve their mock-up, provisional, aesthetic planning and communication workflow. It is especially suited to dentists who:
-
Already have crown prep competence
-
Have some exposure to anterior indirect cases
-
Want stronger anterior provisionals
-
Struggle to make temporaries reflect the final vision
- Are taking on anterior indirect cases and want a more predictable process
-
Want clearer, more structured lab communication
- Want patients to better visualise the planned result
-
Want to improve shade communication using photography
- Want to incorporate mock-up workflows into aesthetic cases
-
Want to manage expectations, consent and risk more confidently
This is not a beginner crown prep course. It is for dentists who want to connect aesthetic planning with clinical execution — so the provisional becomes part of the outcome, not just something that happens in between.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Better mock-ups. Better temporaries.
Better anterior cases.
The Restorative Master Series is built around practical clinical uplift, helping you learn the theory, practise the skill, implement it faster and access support when you need it.
