Introduction Since 1987, this unique residency program has changed the lives of hundreds of dentists. At Esthetic Professionals, it provides the foundation for all of our other residency programs. The primary objective and focus for this program is to educate, expose and train each resident in the vast range of techniques, materials and therapies related to contemporary dentistry. This comprehensive program covers all areas of contemporary esthetic dentistry. It starts with practice structure, communication and photographic skills and provides an in-depth education in the full range of esthetic therapies and treatment design. It will expose residents to the latest equipment, materials, techniques, and provide and in-depth hands-on experience and training in all the latest treatment options and modalities. This residency is our most established program and has three distinct components with all phases being proctored by faculty members. The first component is the lecture series, which includes literature reviews and individual case reviews. Each session will begin the class with reviewing pre-assigned published articles and individual cases, followed by a related lecture presented either by faculty or guest speakers. The second component will be hands-on laboratory projects, which are related to the lecture series of that session. Occasional homework will be assigned. The third component is a comprehensive clinical experience, where the skills and knowledge acquired through the lectures, literature review, and lab projects are applied on actual patients. Residents are encouraged to try the new techniques and materials. During this phase, residents are able to achieve a "comfort zone” for expanding treatment in your office. Each resident will be given a list of requirements to be completed during the year, in order to obtain a graduation certificate. Our ultimate goal of this residency is to insure that each resident leaves the program with an elevated level of confidence, knowledge, and esthetic practice skills that can be used immediately to provide patients with state of the art contemporary esthetic dentistry and provide residents with an increased practice enjoyment and an enhanced bottom line. Enrollment in the program is strictly limited in order to assure a high level of interaction between participants and the faculty. The first applications received that qualify for entrance will be accepted into the program. Early application is accepted. September 10, 2009 - June 26, 2010.
