PRESENTER: DENNIS URBAN, CDT 

Capturing accurate impressions is one of the most important—and most overlooked—steps in restorative dentistry. Reduce Remakes: Impression Techniques for C&B, Implants, and Dentures focuses on the clinical techniques and communication protocols that help ensure restorations fit the first time.

In this practical course, clinicians will review common impression challenges across crowns and bridges, implant restorations, and removable prosthetics. The program breaks down the critical details that influence final fit, including tissue management, margin capture, material selection, tray technique, and implant impression protocols.

Participants will also learn how small adjustments in impression technique and lab communication can dramatically reduce remakes, chair time, and patient frustration. By aligning clinical procedures with laboratory workflows, dentists and their teams can achieve more predictable outcomes and more efficient restorative appointments.

Whether you are using traditional impression materials or digital workflows, this course provides practical techniques that improve accuracy, strengthen lab–doctor collaboration, and ultimately deliver better results for patients.

This program is Part 1 of a two-part series. Part 2, Better Lab Communication: Case Planning Strategies That Improve Outcomes, will take place on June 10 at 7:00 PM. Together, these courses are designed to help clinicians improve both the technical and communication aspects of working with their dental laboratory.
