The craft

A sliver of porcelain.
Every decision behind it.

The veneer is the last thing you place. Everything that makes it look natural happens before it: the plan, the mock-up, the prep.

Art of Ceramic teaches the whole chain. Facially driven design, minimal preparation, shade and lab communication, and a cementation protocol you can repeat.

Layer by layer

Four layers.
One natural tooth.

Scroll to turn a finished veneer in your hands, then open it to see every porcelain layer your ceramist builds. Shade and lab communication start here.

  1. 01

    Dentin core

    An opaque dentin body sets the shade and warmth from within, with mamelons shaped at the incisal third.

  2. 02

    Enamel

    Enamel porcelain is layered over the core, adding value and the soft depth of natural enamel.

  3. 03

    Incisal effects

    Translucent and opalescent porcelains at the edge create the halo and the bluish incisal light.

  4. 04

    Glaze

    A final glaze firing seals the surface and brings back a natural luster.

The workflow

Eight steps.
One workflow.

  1. 01

    The new patient experience

    Records, consultation language and the direct mock-up that moves a patient from curious to committed.

  2. 02

    Facially driven planning

    Plan simple to complex cases with the face and the patient's goals at the center.

  3. 03

    Direct mock-up design

    Tracing, addition and reduction mock-ups, and how final tooth position guides the prep.

  4. 04

    Minimal prep design

    Conservative, effective preparations for simple and complex cases, practiced at your bench.

  5. 05

    Shape creation

    Add, reduce and refine toward a facially driven design with harmony and balance.

  6. 06

    Temporization

    Where provisionals fit between the prep and the final restorations, step by step.

  7. 07

    Photography and lab communication

    Scans, measurements, shade and the design details that get you what you envisioned.

  8. 08

    Cementation

    A predictable cementation workflow, start to finish.

Most dentists pick a veneer course by the before and afters. I would pick it by what you can do on the Tuesday after it ends.
