Digital Biomimetic Dentistry: Scanning, Design & Milling (Chicago, 17 October 2026)

This hands-on course provides an in-depth exploration of digital workflows in biomimetic dentistry, with a focus on intraoral scanning, restoration design, material selection, and in-office milling techniques.

Participants will gain practical experience using Amann Girrbach mills and Ceramill Mind software, mastering the technical and clinical skills necessary for efficient and precise digital restorations. The curriculum covers scanning strategies, design principles, material selection, and advanced techniques to optimize fit, function, and esthetics in restorative work.

Attendees will engage in hands-on exercises that guide them through the complete workflow: scanning with intraoral devices, transferring data to design software, designing restorations, and milling with recommended biomimetic materials. The course integrates live demonstrations and case-based learning to help participants understand how to seamlessly incorporate CAD/CAM technology into their clinical practice.

This approach elevates both the precision and efficiency of restorative dentistry while achieving superior clinical outcomes. The course is ideal for general dentists and restorative specialists seeking to modernize their practice with digital technology. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, attendees leave with concrete skills they can implement immediately in their offices. The instructor, Dr. Matt Nejad, brings extensive clinical expertise from his Beverly Hills practice and leadership role at the Nejad Institute, which trains dentists from over 40 countries in biomimetic and esthetic dentistry.
