2006 Aethetic Dentistry Conference

I have just returned from my annual retreat to a two day conference of the British Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (BAAD) of which I am a active voting member. This year's event was entitled "Keys to Aesthetic Harmony" and was held at the Forest of Arden Marriott hotel in the midlands. I have attended these events annually since their inception 12 years ago following an invitation by two of the founder members.

The annual BAAD conference brings together the very best in the world of aesthetic dentistry to discuss the minutiae of this aspect of dental care. The remit is wide and ranges from complete facial rebuilds following accidents or disease to the holloywood smile makeover. From orthodontic possibilities to the fine detail of construction of a single ceramic crown, which is a minature work of art. From dental implantology to porcelain veeneers and cosmetic gum surgery.A trade show allows me to access to the latest technology to bring you the most appropriate options at St. Mary's House in Newbury.

However one of the the most imortant aspects of these meetings is the hot-house atmosphere and exhange of ideas between colleagues from all over the world (and indeed from Newbury too) in the hours before between and after lectures and presentations. A chance to meet, greet and discuss developments with the best in aesthetic dentistry. Oh yes, we have some fun too wth an opening cocktail reception before the event and a gala dinner after the first day. No time to enjoy the golf facilities though this year.

Next years event in London looks to be every bit as inspirational as these last few days have been.
