What Exactly is Adhesion Dentistry?

It is simply the clinical application of adhesives which enable us to bond just about any material to any other material: gold to tooth, porcelain to tooth, gold to porcelain, gold to gold, porcelain to porcelain, etc. The underlying incentive is easier, faster, and most important, better dentistry.
Check out before and after photos which illustrate typical adhesion dentistry.

Where Did Adhesion Dentistry Start?

It started in a lot of places around the world. In the USA, Dr. Raymond Bertolotti, our primary speaker, has been credited as the guru who, in 1985, put it all together and coined the phrase "adhesion dentistry". At the time, Dr. Bertolotti first used "Adhesion Dentistry" when he retitled his "Cosmetic Dentistry" seminar, reflecting the true nature of what he was using to achieve esthetic results. The materials and techniques continue to reflect a compilation of international knowledge which has been evolved into a "how to do it" seminar of international reputation.

Why Should You Attend Dr. Bertolotti's International Seminars?

Dentists who are willing to make changes. The comments at the top of this page reflect the impact that our adhesion dentistry seminars have had on five clinicians. What we teach is how to practice "better, faster, and easier" dentistry. For those who implement the changes, the results can be dramatic. From Dr. Tom Hughes:

When I implemented the concepts taught by Bertolotti my office net income went up about 50% and my clinical problems such as post-op sensitivity decreased by about 99%.

- Dr. Thomas Hughes, California

Dr. Hughes has said that the turning point in his very successful cosmetic oriented practice was attending Dr. Bertolotti's seminar in 1987. He was hampered by many of the same clinical problems which many clinicians currently describe.

Dr. Bertolotti believes that a successful practice needs to "give your patients more of what they want and less of what they don't want". They don't want amalgams! They don't want crowns that destroy teeth! They don't want bridges that need pencil sharpener preps! They do want dentistry that feels good, looks good, and lasts a long time. This seminar will give you a jump start on the knowledge necessary to practice state of the art dentistry, delivering more of what patients want and eliminating a lot of what they don't want. What we teach you can implement the next day in your practice. Although technology is our primary topic, we also teach a little about successful marketing. This knowledge will help you escape from the grip of insurance companies and have a practice that you and your patients both enjoy.

What You Will Learn at a Typical Seminar:

While the current seminars series is one day in duration, sometimes they two days in duration with the second day (Advanced Concepts) building on the first day (Current Concepts). The one day program is a condensation of the essential information taken from the two day programs. Our seminars are continually updated and we constantly hear how "new" the information is to those who attended some years ago.
