CE Hour
A beautiful smile is never an accident — it’s the result of artistic vision, clinical skill, and today, digital precision. In this lecture, I’ll take you behind the scenes of a few of my favorite esthetic cases, where technology became the paintbrush, but the art remained in the hands of the clinician. Together, we’ll explore how digital tools like AI and 3D design don’t replace creativity — they amplify it — helping us craft smiles that are not only functional, but full of personality, harmony, and emotion.
