Advanced Aesthetic Rehabilitation is a comprehensive, hands-on course designed for dentists aiming to master the art and science of full mouth rehabilitation with a strong aesthetic focus. Over two intensive days, participants will refine their skills through practical exercises and in-depth lectures covering advanced upper and lower veneer preparations, occlusal strategies, and bonding protocols.
The course will demystify occlusal philosophies and provide a practical guide to applying concepts from Kois, Spear, Dawson, LVI, and Pankey — helping participants understand how the definition of centric relation (CR) can vary across different schools of thought. A significant focus will be placed on deprogramming — including various types such as leaf gauges, Lucia jigs, Kois deprogrammers, and anterior deprogrammers — and how to accurately record and transfer a planned increase in vertical dimension using calipers.

Growing up in Williams Dental Laboratory, by his father’s (Jake Williams) side, Bob Clark was destined to become a lab technician. By age 17, Bob was working for a local dentist as a registered dental assistant by day, and by night, he was fabricating lab work as a certified lab technician.

As Bob Clark’s career began to take off, so too did his educational adventure. He was soaking up every type of dental and lab training available. He learned from Dawson Center, Pankey Institute, Spears Education, and, finally, the Las Vegas Institute. Bob has discovered that a comprehensive understanding of all occlusal philosophies would only allow him a more in-depth relationship with his clients. He would be able to relate; communicate, and deliver the results that they were seeking from Williams Dental Laboratory.

Over the next decade, Bob had completed every clinical and laboratory course offered at Las Vegas Institute for Dental Aesthetics, and he became the first laboratory technician in the world to earn the distinguished LVI Mastership. Word quickly spread that Bob’s work was second to none, and he soon became the favorite ceramist of LVI’s most prestigious dentists from around the world. Bob Clark has since been creating groundbreaking techniques in lab aesthetic dentures, dental ceramics, and digital dentistry. Bob leads an elite team of exceptional LVI trained technicians that deliver results in all areas of cosmetic and functional dentistry.

It speaks volumes that Bob has been asked to complete smile makeovers and full mouth reconstructions with over 150 influential dentists and dental team members. He has created the Williams Dental Lab business model that is based on building lasting relationship with clients; caring, and giving accurate communication. Also, fundamental to the business model is documentation between the clinician and the technician. Finally, Williams Dental Lab wants to exceed the expectations of the patients via efficient management systems within the laboratory.

Bob Clark is a published author, an international lecturer, KOL and consults for manufacturers around the globe that are on the forefront of CAD/CAM dentistry. Bob’s professional memberships and fellowships include American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Academy of General Dentistry, the International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics, and the Dental Laboratory Association of California.
