CEREC Smile to Seat: Digital Smile Design, Veneers & Anterior Aesthetics

25 APRIL 2027 · THE MARKET CROSS, BURY ST EDMUNDS

Take an anterior case from digital smile planning to a confidently designed, manufactured and delivered restoration.

Anterior dentistry demands more than technical accuracy. Shape, proportion, symmetry, function and the relationship between the restoration and the patient's smile all need to work together and a digital workflow gives clinicians the opportunity to plan and control that process with greater confidence.

This hands on course takes you through the CEREC anterior aesthetic workflow, combining digital smile design, veneer planning and chairside CAD/CAM to show how digital technology can be used throughout an aesthetic case.

Rather than learning isolated software functions, you'll understand how the stages connect - helping you make better design decisions and develop a workflow that can be transferred directly into clinical practice.

The emphasis throughout is practical: learn it hands on, understand why you're doing it, and leave with a workflow you can begin applying the very next day.

What you'll learn

During the course, you will:

• Understand how to approach anterior aesthetic cases digitally, from initial planning through to restoration.
• Explore the principles of digital smile design and how they can inform restorative planning.
• Learn how to assess tooth proportion, symmetry, morphology and the wider smile when designing anterior restorations.
• Work through digital workflows for veneers and aesthetic anterior restorations.
• Develop greater confidence navigating the relevant CEREC design workflow and tools.
• Understand how to refine morphology, contacts, margins and emergence to create a more considered restoration.
• Learn how the digital design translates into chairside manufacturing.
• Understand the stages required to move from the virtual restoration to a clinically usable result.
• Recognise common design problems and develop a more systematic approach to correcting them.
• Understand where a chairside digital workflow can improve control, efficiency and the patient experience.

Course aims & objectives

The aim of this course is to give clinicians a structured approach to digital anterior restorative dentistry using CEREC.

By the end of the day, delegates should have a clearer understanding of how digital smile planning, restorative design and chairside manufacturing can be brought together within one connected workflow.

The course is designed to build both technical ability and clinical confidence, helping you understand not only which tools to use, but the decisions that ultimately determine the quality of the restoration.

What you'll leave with

A structured anterior digital workflow.
Understand how to progress logically from smile planning through design and manufacturing rather than treating each stage in isolation.

Greater confidence designing veneers and anterior restorations.
Develop a more systematic approach to morphology, proportion and aesthetic refinement.

Practical CEREC experience.
Spend the day actively working through the workflow rather than simply watching a software demonstration.

A better understanding of digital smile design.
Learn how the patient's wider smile can inform individual restorative decisions.

Greater control over your chairside workflow.
Understand how digital planning and in house manufacturing can give you more involvement in the restorative process.

Skills you can apply the next day.
Leave with practical techniques and a workflow designed to translate directly into your own clinical cases.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for dentists using, or looking to develop their use of, CEREC and chairside digital dentistry, particularly clinicians interested in anterior aesthetic workflows.

It is ideal for clinicians who want to progress beyond straightforward posterior restorations and build greater confidence with digital smile design, veneers and aesthetic anterior cases.
