For dental surgeons

Our methodology in your practice.

IDF Concept — Porcelain Veneers is a theory-and-practice course for dentists who want to take their own ceramic restoration cases further.

Demand for veneers has grown sharply in practice, and our philosophy is to build smiles that mimic the natural tooth: translucency, texture and anatomy preserved, white without ceasing to look natural. That experience is what the course opens up.
