Dental professionals have to sit in certain positions for long periods of time when they are doing dental work. Bad posture can lead to musculoskeletal disorders and other diseases. You will learn how to apply the right ergonomics to decrease pain and enhance your productivity.
Your dental impressions are as important as your first impressions with a patient. Accuracy and proper material selection are required for success. As materials change in the industry we must learn new technique to provide the most accurate impression necessary for case success.

Smile design not a subject that school devotes a lot of time to, but is extremely important to understand when working in aesthetic dentistry. You will learn the basics of smile design and patient communication with designing their custom smile.
Case presentation is another critical skill. Usually the dentist will present the case to the patient, but sometimes you may have to do it yourself.
