The taking of tooth shades is performed in dental offices every day, but not all dentists are taking advantage of modern techniques that provide the highest degree of accuracy. In part 1 of this two-part video presentation, Dr. Michael DiTolla shows the latest tools and techniques available to match your patients’ tooth shades as closely as possible. He will demonstrate the best use of the popular VITA® Classic System, along with procedures that greatly improve this system. He’ll also demonstrate new products that will improve your results, such as the VITA Easyshade® Compact. Dr. DiTolla will show how you can better communicate to the lab the desired shades for your restorations, reducing the number of returns and delays caused by incorrect shading. VITA and Easyshade are registered trademarks of Vident.

Dr. Michael DiTolla recently had a chance to sit down with board-certified Dental Sleep Medicine specialist Dr. Todd Morgan and get his sleep dentistry questions answered.

Tune in to hear how Dr. Morgan got involved in this area of dentistry, the best way to incorporate this type of treatment into your practice, and why it can be a lifesaver for dentists who physically can’t or don’t want to do restorative dentistry anymore.
