Hands-On Dental Seminars
Ness Academy dental technician courses use our proven learning systems to help new and existing technicians quickly improve their technical ability to prepare for the demands of the new market place. These courses are unique as technicians will not only increase their productivity and quality of work, but they also return with reference materials and tools to reinforce what they have learned.
Hands-on technical seminars are currently scheduled for these three courses:
Crown and Bridge Anatomical Waxing and Framework Design
This comprehensive waxing course will meet the needs of anyone from beginner to accomplished technician. Participants will not only be able to do the work, they will also learn how to teach the procedures to others.

After studying dental anatomy and esthetic design, participants will fully build and contour a 4-unit posterior bridge and a 6-unit anterior bridge.

In addition to a study of oral anatomy and denture esthetics, participants will create a complete set of dentures from base plates to final waxing.
3Shape Anatomical Design for Posterior Restorations

This course includes a study of posterior occlusal anatomy, anatomical waxing, and 3Shape crown design.
