Stop referring out your porcelain cases. Diagnosis, preparation, bonding and occlusion, distilled into a step-by-step workflow you can run on the cases walking through your door on Monday. Two days, fully hands-on, taught by clinicians who place these every week.

Is this you?

You can do the dentistry. The predictability is what's missing.

✓
You're placing veneers already, but every case still feels like it's starting from scratch, no system you trust end to end.
✓
Your preps, margins or temporaries are inconsistent, and the lab keeps sending things back.
✓
You want to move patients from composite into higher-value porcelain work, and have them say yes.
✓
You've done lecture-only courses and left with slides, not skills your hands actually know.

What you'll walk away with

Ten things you'll be able to do on Monday.

Not theory for theory's sake. Every module maps to a decision or a movement you'll make chairside.

Consultation & case acceptance

A structured new-patient assessment that improves conversion, ethically, without pressure.

Smile design principles

Translate facial, dental and gingival parameters from 2D into a predictable 3D result.

Motivational mock-ups

Use mock-ups to validate the case, communicate visually, and manage expectations before you prep.

Material biochemistry & IDS

Silica vs non-silica surface treatment, immediate dentine sealing, and why each matters for the bond.

Preparation design

Type I to Type IV preparations, elbow preps, and margin strategies for every case type.

Soft tissue management

Surgical and non-surgical crown lengthening, plus black-triangle management.

Impression techniques

Analogue vs digital workflows, when to scan, when to take a PVS, and how to capture margins cleanly.

Occlusion concepts

The occlusal philosophies that decide whether your veneers last, and how to apply them.

Temporisation

Three predictable methods for ultra-cleansable, soft-tissue-stable temporaries.

Cementation protocols

Isolation, retraction, resin cement selection, and exactly when to bond versus lute.

The EPV system

A patient journey with fixed time budgets.

EDA teaches porcelain veneers as a structured appointment sequence, so you know exactly what happens, when, and how long it takes. No guesswork from consult to aftercare.

The syllabus

Two days, diagnosis to delivery.

Day one takes you from consultation through smile design to preparation. Day two covers impressions, occlusion, temporisation and cementation, all hands-on.

Day One

Diagnosis → Design → Preparation

9:00 AM

The Consultation Process

Structured new-patient assessment, comprehensive EO/IO exam, records (photography, digital scan, impressions, radiographs). Ethical case selection and conversion.

10:00 AM

Smile Design

Universally accepted principles. Facial, dental and gingival parameters. Translating 2D into a predictable 3D result, and communicating it to patient and lab.

11:00 AM

Motivational Mock-Up

The role of mock-ups in diagnostic validation, visual communication and expectation management.

Afternoon

Material Biochemistry & Preparation Design

Surface treatment protocols, bonding science, and a full overview of Type I–IV veneer preparations. Hands-on.

Late PM

Soft Tissue Management

Surgical and non-surgical crown lengthening. Black-triangle management.

Day Two

Impressions → Temporise → Bond

Morning

Impression Techniques & Occlusion

Analogue vs digital workflows. Occlusal philosophies and how they influence veneer longevity.

Late AM

Temporisation, Hands-On

Three predictable methods. Soft tissue stability, durability, and ease of removal.

Afternoon

Cementation Protocol, Hands-On

Isolation, retraction, resin cement selection, bonding. When to bond versus lute.

Late PM

Case Studies & Q&A

Complex case reviews, complication management, and open Q&A with the faculty.

What "hands-on" means here

You'll prep 12 teeth. Not watch someone else do it.

Dr Kamran Ashraf demonstrating hands-on porcelain veneer prep

1
Prescribe smile designs across five cases

Frequently asked

Everything you might be wondering.

Who is EPV for?

General dentists who want a predictable, repeatable porcelain veneer system. We assume clinical experience; we don't assume aesthetic experience. If you're moving from composite into porcelain, this is built for you.

How hands-on is it, really?

Genuinely hands-on. You'll prescribe five smile designs, fabricate your own putty keys, and prepare 12 maxillary teeth across Type I–IV preparations, plus advanced temporisation. You leave with skills your hands already know.

What's the cohort size?

Capped at 30 dentists per cohort, with multiple educators on the floor. That ratio is the point, you get direct feedback from clinicians who place these cases every week.

Is there CPD credit?

Yes. The course is CPD-aligned and you'll receive a certificate of attendance detailing CPD hours and learning outcomes.

How do I pay, and what's the refund policy?

Booking and payment go through Eventbrite. Refund policy: full refund more than 30 days out, 50% from 15–30 days, none inside 15 days.
