Every smile tells a story – how curiosity improves treatment planning

Join Dr Elaine Halley to learn how developing a systematic approach to analysing cases before we begin treatment planning solutions, leads to more predictable outcomes.

These strategies also provide a framework for discussion with patients which helps to educate and motivate them and open the door for more comprehensive treatment opportunities. This webinar will cover the key stages of taking a patient from the first visit, through to presenting treatment options.
