Course Overview

Join internationally renowned biomimetic dentist Dr. Marc Lazare for a full-day, 8 CE credit lecture and hands-on workshop in Lower Manhattan, designed to transform the way you restore compromised teeth.
Biomimetic dentistry pairs a deep respect for healthy tooth structure with modern adhesive and material science, so restorations behave like natural teeth in strength, function, and esthetics.

Built around real cases from Dr. Lazare’s practice — teeth others would have given up on — the course shows how root canals, full-coverage crowns, and extractions can often be avoided by preserving what nature built.
The morning lecture establishes the principles and protocols, and the afternoon hands-on session lets you apply them under direct guidance so you can bring a more conservative, predictable restorative approach back to your practice.

What You’ll Learn

Key Concepts & Clinical Areas Covered

• Tooth preservation: saving structure rather than amputating it for mechanical retention
• Adhesion science: the factors that drive strong, lasting bonds to enamel and dentin
• Stress management: reducing the forces that cause debonding, sensitivity, and failure
• Pulp vitality: approaches that help keep compromised teeth vital
• Compromised teeth: restoring cracked, heavily restored, and deeply carious teeth
• Treatment planning: staging conservative care, from single teeth to smile makeovers

Learning Objectives

• Understand the core principles and fundamentals of biomimetic dentistry
• Identify techniques that maximize bond strength in adhesive restorations
• Apply methods that minimize stress in bonded restorations
• Recognize cases where crowns, root canals, or extractions may be avoided
• Plan and stage restorations that preserve pulp vitality and tooth structure
• Perform foundational biomimetic restorative steps in a hands-on setting
