Dentists find themselves living with daily stresses specific to our profession. Particularly, members of the baby boomer generation were not treated very well by their dental school faculty. Surviving the pressures of dental school and constantly being told that their work was never good enough, many dentists graduated with very low self-esteem.

Once in practice, they found that their patients feared and/or disliked the dentist. This deep-seated self-esteem issue plus the stresses of building a successful practice, managing a staff, insurance issues, laboratory problems, financial concerns and the daily pressures of attempting to please everyone including themselves, have created many physical and emotional problems for many dentists.

Performing esthetic dental procedures can be a positive life change for the patient as well as dramatically life changing for the dentist as well.

From the basic principles of smile design and smile development to the fabrication and application of indirect bonded anterior full and partial coverage(veneers) will be explained.

New developments in bonding agents and adhesive materials, including cementation options, are changing the beliefs and principles that have guided our techniques for many years. An enlightening and eye-opening discussion of these changes is included.

The scientific principles of light and color and their integration and application for shade matching and the correction of mild to moderate to severe tooth discoloration will be presented.

Many anterior esthetic problems and issues will be shown. A variety of treatment options from 'no-prep' veneers to full ceramic coverage and the logic for making those choices are to be discussed.

The detailed step by step procedures for every part of the esthetic transformation process is clearly and understandably reviewed.

PORTS OF CALL

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida - There is an abundance of things to see and do in the Ft. Lauderdale area: visit the newly redesigned Ft. Lauderdale Beach and cafes, stroll the historic Riverwalk, shop the luxurious stores on Las Olas Boulevard or adventure to the Everglades for an intriguing air boat excursion.

Key West, Florida - A distinctly American town with the look and feel of the Caribbean, Key West unlocks myriad attractions. Ride the Conch Train to the famous sights: Ernest Hemingway's home, the Audubon House, and the "Little White House", where President Truman spent many a working vacation. Hop a catamaran to America's only living coral reef to snorkel with dolphins. Or climb into the open cockpit of a World War II biplane for an unforgettable aerial tour of the Keys.

At Sea - Cruising - Cruising

Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico - Past meets present in Costa Maya. Cruise to Costa Maya and find ancient Maya ruins and mysterious jungles just begging to be explored, as well as private beach clubs and trendy restaurants— all in one place. It’s 250 square miles of paradise packed with entertainment and history, all just 30 miles south of Cancun. The Great Maya Reef just off the coast is the second largest in the world— it’s a must-snorkel spot. Or you can kick back at the port village of Mahahual with an ice-cold michelada— a spicy beer cocktail— in hand. For a culture fix, head to the Kohunlick ruins to see the famous Temple of the Masks.

Cozumel, Mexico - With its lively tropical reefs, crystal-clear waters and ancient ruins, Cozumel is ripe for one-of-a-kind adventures. Cruise to Cozumel and head to Chankanaab National Park, where you can snorkel among the colorful reefs and schools of tropical fish that give this island its premier diving status. Or travel back in time on an adventure through the towering Maya ruins of Tulum. When you’re done exploring, unwind with a beachside massage at Playa Mia. From culture savoring to soaking up sunshine, you’ll find a world of adventure waiting for you in Cozumel.

Georgetown, Grand Cayman - Grand Cayman is where the high life meets island life. Snorkel with stingrays in Stingray City. Treat your inner foodie at eateries established by acclaimed top chefs like Michael Schwartz, or chow down on conch fritters by the seashore. You can even soak up some rays at one of the beaches voted best in the world, Seven Mile Beach. And do it all in the same day.
