Module One Includes:

 

How to Use Photography to Guide Color
See how to use polarized photography for accurate shade capture and how photos help overcome eye dominance and clinical lighting challenges.

 

Color Mock-ups for Accuracy
Learn my method of rolling and placing composite balls or tubes on a glass slab, previewing them directly on teeth, and recording shades for predictable results.

 

Layer Composites for Natural Esthetics
Understand how dentin, enamel and tints each play a role, and when a single-shade or multi-layer approach is appropriate.

 

Bevel Strategically to Blend Seamlessly
Step-by-step examples show how a deep bevel hides fracture lines and a shallow bevel creates an invisible transition between composite and natural tooth.

 

Know When to Use Universal vs Multi-Shade Composites
Evaluate which cases can be restored simply with a universal composite, and which demand the precision of multi-layer color systems.

 

Work Additively, Not Subtractively
See how to pre-shape and roll composite before placement, building form in controlled increments and minimizing adjustments or porosities.

 

Surroundings Affect Shade Perception
Learn how adjacent crowns, dark restorations, or inflamed tissue can skew color judgment—and how mock-ups and photos provide reliable checks.
