Our interest in esthetic dentistry was almost immediate. We entered into this world cautiously, like everyone, at the moment when something new was emerging…the concept of esthetics applied to our profession. Clinics and technicians were not prepared because during the 80’s and 90’s there was nothing along those lines. Everything had to be created from scratch. Esthetic dentistry strives for naturalness and integration is another thing; it requires hard work, a different mentality, more knowledge, better training, dexterity skills, tenacity and artist’s eye.
We came to the conclusion that these ideas and isolated projects that we so enjoyed outside of our normal consultations and laboratory work could not just be forgotten forever, thus the creation of this group.
The mood of the week changes when we get together and each meeting is different. We have excited but scattered minds that enjoy thinking outside the parameters of our routine day-to-day tasks. D91 is a summary of all these concepts; it was created for these purposes: to calm our curiosities, celebrate small achievements, share suggestions, learn together, and summon a spirit that we know exists in many dental professionals.
The struggle to emulate nature is an exciting challenge for us. We like it. A LOT.
