The Art of a Smile Makeover
The most recent course completed by Dr. Wei was “Mastering Minimally Invasive Smile Design.” This two-day, hands-on course, held in Burlington, Massachusetts, was focused on peers teaching peers about best practices for the minimally invasive techniques they have developed and mastered in cosmetic dentistry.
Equipment and material demonstrations held during the continuing education course are instrumental in providing cosmetic dentists with educational insight into new dental techniques. Being able to engage with the materials and train in person with other professionals, comparing notes and discussing cases is incredibly beneficial to dentists who are focused on improving themselves for the benefit of their patients.

Service with a Smile: From Millennials to Baby Boomers and Beyond
From case selection to smile design, preparation to final finishing, Dr. Wei’s continuing ed course covered a range of skill-building techniques. Instructions on a new Additive-Reductive Template (A.R.T.) was offered to help dentists improve their clinical mastery of complex cases with a particular focus on the best ways to provide minimally invasive veneers. Since porcelain veneers are one of the most popular and effective cosmetic dentistry treatments, innovations in porcelain veneer fitting and application are incredibly valuable for any cosmetic dentist.
The A.R.T. process is especially helpful for a Manhattan dental practice that aims to minimize the chair time of busy patients. A recent report from WebMD Health Services found that millennials are interested in speed and convenience above all when investing in healthcare services, including dentistry. This 18- to 34-year-old generation is also more comfortable with digital technologies, so any innovations that their dental practice can provide are likely to be met eagerly by millennials. Older generations, however, are seeking a more personal connection with their healthcare providers. Dr. Wei and his Manhattan cosmetic dentistry practice also strive to fulfill this wish and priority of their patients.
