Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder

Esthetics in dentistry can mean different things to different people. It’s not always about porcelain restorations or Hollywood smiles—often, it’s the result of a simple adjustment or a subtle enhancement.

Join Dr. Troy Schmedding as we explore a range of esthetic solutions from teeth whitening to gingival augmentation and discuss practical ways to incorporate these enhancement procedures into your practice.

Course Objectives:
  • Learn about the use of soft tissue lasers.
  • Explore the benefits of gum lifts for esthetic outcomes.
  • Discover simple and fast bleaching protocols for patients.

    Troy A. Schmedding, DDS, AAACD

    Dr. Troy A. Schmedding graduated from the University of Puget Sound before getting his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 1993. For 17 years, Dr. Schmedding successfully maintained a solo dental practice in Seattle, WA, before relocating with his family to California to pursue his interest in educating a future generation of dentists. After five years as an assistant professor in the Department of Reconstructive Dental Sciences and co-course director for Integrated Pre-Clinical Technique at UOP Dentistry, he realized he missed direct patient interaction and purchased his current practice in Walnut Creek. In addition to teaching, Dr. Schmedding enjoys lecturing nationally and internationally to fellow colleagues on restorative and aesthetic dentistry.

    Dr. Schmedding has received accreditation with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, one of approximately 600 dentists worldwide to have achieved this distinction. He also serves as a key opinion leader for leading clinical material manufacturers.

    In his spare time, Dr. Schmedding enjoys sharing his love of fly fishing and all things outdoors with his two children and wife of 23 years.
