In this episode, Dr. Schmidt sits down with Adamo Notarantonio, DDS, FICOI, FAACD, a highly regarded cosmetic dentist, to explore the often-overlooked power of composite in aesthetic dentistry. While porcelain options often take center stage in smile makeovers, Dr. Notarantonio shares why mastering composite artistry is not only essential for delivering beautiful results—but also for becoming a true craftsman in cosmetic dentistry. From repairing fractured teeth on teenagers to fine-tuning provisionals, he explains how composite skills translate into superior patient outcomes and provides a deeper understanding of smile design. (Dr. Notarantion will be a speaker at AGD2025, July 9-12.) They also dive into the mindset shift required to build a fulfilling aesthetic practice—from ways to build skill and reputation to learning how to communicate treatment possibilities with patients without overwhelming them. This conversation offers practical insight, real-world advice, and inspiration for dentists at every stage of their journey. Dr. Notarantonio graduated from the State University of New York at Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine (2002), where he received honors in removable and fixed prosthodontics. He is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and received his Fellowship in the AACD in 2018. He is the current President of the AACD, Credential Examiner and Fellowship Chairman. Dr. Notarantio is a graduate and faculty of the Kois Center. He has received his fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He has been published in multiple dental journals and lectures nationally and internationally on such topics as CAD/CAM dentistry, implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, composite dentistry, and dental photography.

Dr. Courtney Lavigne's unique career path took her from a decade of practicing restorative dentistry to orthodontics. She holds accreditations and fellowships from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Pierre Fruchard Academy. Dr. Lavigne is a renowned lecturer in dental aesthetics and comprehensive care. She established a patient-centric, aesthetics-focused practice in the Boston suburbs before pursuing an orthodontic residency at Tufts University. Driven by her fascination with airway and occlusion, Dr. Lavigne transitioned to orthodontics, aiming to provide truly interdisciplinary care. She sold her cosmetic practice and embarked on her orthodontic journey in July 2020. In her orthodontic practice, Dr. Lavigne combines her restorative dentistry expertise with orthodontic training, prioritizing comprehensive treatment planning that considers both facial aesthetics and three-dimensional tooth alignment. Her ultimate goal is to achieve each patient's ideal outcome, going beyond just achieving a Class I canine occlusion. Dr. Lavigne also highlights the critical significance of early orthodontic evaluations, recommending that children undergo orthodontic assessments around age seven. She underscores factors such as crossbites, functional shifts, and crowding in primary teeth as potential indicators for early intervention. Shifting gears, Dr. Lavigne discusses the utilization of 3D printing for orthodontic brackets and the influence of artificial intelligence in enhancing treatment planning precision. She stresses that while aligner technology is a valuable tool, the practitioner's skill and understanding of the software play a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Dr. Lavigne shares her perspective on AACD accreditation, emphasizing how it not only enhances clinical skills but also builds a robust referral network within the dental community. She notes that the journey of personal growth and improvement throughout the accreditation process is equally valuable as achieving the accreditation itself. As a practitioner who values continuous learning, Dr. Lavigne underscores the significance of mentorship. She advises younger dentists not to hesitate in reaching out to experienced colleagues for guidance and mentorship opportunities. She shares her own experiences with various study groups and organizations that have been instrumental in her professional growth.

We all see the complicated and gorgeous restorations on social media and we wanted to discuss if more layers are better when placing anterior direct restorations. We invited Dr. Peter Auster to share his perspective, opinion, and a few pearls on how to achieve AACD-level direct restorations on anterior teeth. So many dentists self-label themselves as “cosmetic dentists” and we talk about who should and who shouldn't classify themselves that way.

The Power in Learning About Gingival Architecture Episode #452 with Dr. Betsy Bakeman Do your patients care about gingival architecture? Chances are, yes! They just don't know what it is, or that it can be corrected. And sometimes, neither do dentists. So, to help you optimize the results of your dentistry, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Betsy Bakeman, adjunct faculty member at the Kois Center, to share what she's learned about gingival architecture, why you should learn more, and how to get started. To help patients achieve their ideal smiles, listen to Episode 452 of The Best Practices Show! Main Takeaways: You can alter gingival architecture for esthetic reasons. Learn gingival architecture to optimize outcomes. This knowledge will give you added expertise. Learning this will improve communication. Gingival architecture is simple to learn. Quotes: “You hear about the gingival architecture being the framework for the teeth, and it's something that I never used to consider at all, until I started going through the accreditation process in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. And they started talking about how this was really important for esthetics, and I knew what I wanted to do. I learned where the architecture should be, the symmetry, the harmony. But I didn't know how to manage it, and I struggled getting my patients to go to the periodontist, to go to a specialist. I struggled with communication with my patients, with the specialist, and I didn't know how to achieve optimal results.” (3:02—3:51) “[Gingival architecture is] really simple. It's very manageable. Any general dentist can learn these techniques, and it helps you in so many ways.” (4:14—4:24) “[What most dentists get wrong is] how simple and predictable [gingival architecture] is. It's just so simple and predictable. Once you know what to do, it's amazing how simple and predictable it is.” (5:24—5:40) “Even if you decide, ‘I don't like blood. I don't like working with a scalpel. I don't want to do that,' you become better at communicating what you want with your periodontist. So, it's helpful to know what the ceramicist is doing, to know what the specialist is doing. We become better communicators and we're more likely to get what we need when we work with our specialists.” (6:17—6:42) “You can't unsee it. Once you see asymmetry in the gingival architecture and the patient is asking you about this chipped tooth, this dark tooth, whatever it is that they're focused on, and then you say, ‘Can I point out some other things that I see that may or may not be important to you? If you're going to restore these teeth, you may notice afterwards that these gum heights aren't even on these two middle teeth. And there are opportunities to correct that before we do your two restorations so that it looks perfectly symmetrical.' And patients often say, ‘Oh, I didn't notice that.' Or they might say, ‘I didn't know you could correct that.'” (7:15—8:03) “Especially in people that have short teeth and gummy smiles where there's actually more tooth structure under the gum tissue, people are amazed. I mean, they didn't even know that that could be corrected. And so, they're so excited. It's added expertise in the eyes of the patient that you're the first person that mentioned that this could actually be corrected for them. They didn't even know it. And honestly, a lot of dentists don't know it either.” (8:04—8:34) “In dental school, we're taught a lot about single-tooth dentistry, and we really focus on teeth. I mean, dental school — dental anatomy, teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth. And I didn't know that you could alter gingival architecture for esthetic reasons until I was like 15 years out of dental school.” (8:43—9:06) “The AACD says if you're going to say you're a cosmetic dentist, you need to manage gingival architecture. Whether you do it yourself or you refer to the periodontist to have them do it, you're ultimately driving the bus and you...
