OBJECTIVES
By the end of the two days, delegates should have a clear and repeatable workflow for porcelain veneer cases, from the initial consultation through to final cementation and maintenance.
• Improve case selection and identify when porcelain veneers are, and are not, the appropriate treatment
• Develop a structured approach to aesthetic assessment, smile design and treatment planning
• Understand how wax-ups and mock-ups can guide treatment and improve patient communication
• Plan and perform conservative veneer preparations with an emphasis on enamel preservation
• Understand ceramic selection and how the underlying substrate influences the final result
• Improve provisionalisation, impression/scanning and laboratory communication
• Develop a predictable protocol for veneer try-in, bonding and cementation
• Understand finishing, maintenance and the management of common complications

Mastering Porcelain Veneers
From Case Selection to Bonding
A two-day hands-on masterclass with Dr Ambrish Roshan and Dr Michael Crilly, covering the complete clinical workflow for porcelain veneers.
From selecting and planning the right case through to preparation, provisionalisation, laboratory communication, try-in and final cementation, this course is designed to give you a structured and predictable approach to veneer dentistry.
Across two focused days, we’ll combine clinical theory, case discussions, demonstrations and hands-on training, with an emphasis on conservative dentistry, enamel preservation and techniques that can be transferred directly into everyday practice.
Course Details
Dates: Friday 13th & Saturday 14th November 2026

Format: Two-day hands-on masterclass
Who is it for?
Dentists with an interest in aesthetic and restorative dentistry who want to develop their knowledge, confidence and practical skills in porcelain veneers.
What You'll Learn
Case Selection & Treatment Planning
Understand when porcelain veneers are the right treatment and when alternatives such as orthodontics, whitening, composite bonding or crowns may be more appropriate.
We'll explore case selection, occlusion, enamel availability, existing restorations, tooth wear, discolouration and managing patient expectations.
Aesthetic Planning, Smile Design & Mock-Ups
Learn how to plan the final result before beginning treatment.
We'll cover clinical records and photography, aesthetic analysis, tooth proportions, incisal edge position, gingival architecture, digital and analogue planning, diagnostic wax-ups and intraoral mock-ups.
You'll also learn how to use the mock-up for patient communication, consent and as a guide for conservative tooth preparation.
Ceramic Selection & Tooth Preparation
Understand how substrate colour, translucency, masking requirements, material thickness and functional demands influence ceramic selection.
We'll then translate the treatment plan into a conservative preparation, covering reduction guides, depth cuts, cervical and proximal margins, incisal design and enamel preservation.
Provisionals, Impressions & Laboratory Communication
Learn how to create and refine provisional veneers while maintaining aesthetics, function and soft tissue health.
We'll also cover tissue management, analogue impressions, digital scanning, shade communication and how to give your dental technician the information required to reproduce the result you've planned.
Try-In, Bonding & Cementation
Develop a repeatable protocol for the try-in and adhesive cementation of porcelain veneers.
We'll simplify isolation, assessment of fit and contacts, try-in pastes, ceramic conditioning, tooth surface treatment, adhesive and cement selection, seating sequence, curing and excess cement removal.
Finishing, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Finally, we'll look at what happens after cementation: occlusal assessment, finishing and polishing, post-operative care and long-term maintenance.
We'll also discuss common complications including sensitivity, debonding, marginal staining, fracture and chipping, and how these can be prevented or managed.
Meet Your Tutors
Dr Ambrish Roshan
Ambrish is a restorative dentist based in Dublin with a particular interest in aesthetic and adhesive dentistry. Alongside clinical practice, he is actively involved in postgraduate dental education and is the founder of Edudental Ireland.
Ambrish is also a Key Opinion Leader for Ivoclar and has extensive experience teaching contemporary restorative workflows and materials.
Dr Michael Crilly
Michael is a restorative and aesthetic dentist based in Belfast with a clinical focus on minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry, orthodontics and composite and ceramic restorations.
Alongside private clinical practice, Michael is heavily involved in postgraduate dental education, delivering hands-on training with an emphasis on making contemporary restorative techniques practical and transferable to everyday dentistry.
Hands-On Training
A significant part of the two days will be dedicated to putting the techniques into practice.
Working on typodonts and models in a small-group environment, you'll have the opportunity to work through the key stages of the veneer workflow with direct guidance from both tutors.
Hands-on sessions will include:
• Aesthetic analysis and treatment planning
• Creating and using silicone preparation guides
• Mock-up techniques
• Controlled veneer preparation and depth reduction
• Incisal, proximal and cervical preparation design
• Fabrication and finishing of provisional veneers
• Gingival retraction and impression techniques
• Digital scanning workflow
• Veneer try-in and assessment
• Ceramic and tooth surface preparation
• Adhesive cementation and seating sequence
• Excess cement removal
• Interproximal finishing and final polishing
The goal is not simply to understand the workflow, but to practise each of the critical stages so you can return to practice with a system you can confidently apply to your own cases.
