Technicians' Programme - Friday 15 May
Aesthetic Dentistry is not only about technical skills or using state-of-the-art materials. It is the way you visualise the disharmonies, the way you communicate all the issues with the team, the way you present the plan to the patient that makes the difference.
Learning how to master some digital tools and the process of Digital Smile Design (DSD) you will improve:
- Your aesthetic diagnosis
- Your communication skills
- Your Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning
- Your case documentation
- Your educational capabilities
- Your case acceptance
Become a complete technician incorporating the Smile Design process into your workflow. The patients will definitely see and feel the difference.

All-on-nothing to All-on-4 and beyond. There are various treatment options available today to address the aesthetic and functional needs of the patient. This presentation will discuss cosmetic and aesthetic principles that I apply when creating full arch restorations.
Overdentures will be discussed from first impressions to design of the frameworks and techniques for final processing.
Customizing of denture teeth, gingival contouring and gingival staining will be presented along with an insight into the materials used to achieve the highly aesthetic result.
The role the Clinical Dental Technician can play in the treatment planning of fixed and removable implant restorations, as part of the restorative team, will be considered.
Stent design and fabrication will be explored, driven by the question what diagnostic information can and should be obtained from the stents we use?
The technical aspects of framework design and fabrication using CAD/CAM technology will also be evaluated.
John Wibberley started his career as one of the first full time students studying for a Certificate in Dental Technology, qualifying in 1978 from Manchester Polytechnic. John’s first appointment was in the Department of Prosthodontics at Manchester Dental Hospital.
Eight months later he then moved to North Manchester General Hospital gaining more experience in a maxillofacial unit. After gaining his advanced City and Guilds in crown and bridgework John joined the RAF dental branch in 1980. Leaving the RAF in 1982, John gained valuable commercial experience in several different commercial laboratories and hospitals until eventually opening his own laboratory Portland Ceramics in August 1985, specialising in implantology and high quality restorations. In March 2001 Boots Dental Care acquired Portland Ceramics.
John qualified as a Clinical Dental Technician in April 2013 and now runs his own practice.
John has travelled extensively attending courses in France, Germany, Italy and Holland and has visited the USA over forty times attending courses and conferences. He has also presented to the Association of Dental Implantology, the British Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry and Nobel Biocare World Conference in Las Vegas May 2007.
In June 2005 John was awarded a Fellowship of the British Institute of Dental and Surgical Technologists.
