From fillings to full mouth care: Making digital dentistry work for you

What to expect

This webinar aims to demonstrate how adopting a digital workflow can facilitate a move from a more reactive, single-tooth approach to a more proactive, comprehensive approach to care, including integrating intraoral scanning, into everyday practice. Delegates will discover how digital tools can improve efficiency, enhance diagnostics, and enable more predictable, patient-centred treatment planning.

A CPD certificate (in the name of the purchaser) will be available to download once viewing of this online lecture has been completed. It is a recording of a webinar delivered in April 2025

Learning objectives

• Recognise the benefits of a broader treatment approach – Understand how digital workflows support a shift from single-tooth dentistry to a more proactive, whole-mouth approach that improves long-term patient outcomes
