Montano Orthodontics Presents: Dr. Ronald Goldstein


Donald R. Montano, DDS, MSD Presents
AN EVENT NOT TO BE MISSED
Dr. Ronald Goldstein
“Predictable Treatment for Discolored Teeth”

Can you really give your patients with discolored teeth the million dollar smile they dream of? Despite all the existing advances in conservative esthetic dentistry, the problem of successfully treating discolored teeth is still prevalent in the profession.

In a survey of patients, their most frequent complaint was their discolored teeth. Not by coincidence, this same study found that the dominant concern of dentists was the treatment of discoloured teeth.

Through maximum usage of bleaching, bonding, laminating and crowning, the dentist can alter virtually all discolouration aspects of the smile, ranging from mild to severe. However, knowing which treatment to use, when and where, is still a question of judgment. This course will highlight diagnosis and treatment of some of the major esthetic problems encountered, including treatment planning and step-by-step procedures to accomplish the most in the least amount of time. Dr. Goldstein will also present a new comprehensive approach to management of patients with discolored teeth.
