dental tech.

In dental technology, ceramics gave me the greatest scope for artistic expression. To this day I am fascinated by the possibilities it offers , layers, transparencies, translucencies, opalescences, play of light, texture, surface. A small living work, a sculpture that becomes someone’s smile.
It’s fascinating to discover new techniques and possibilities offered by new materials and technologies, DSD, CAD/CAM is my toy in my daily work, and working directly with the patient and the sparkle in his eye when he gets a new smile is the best feeling. Knowing that, using the right tools, I can give the patient work that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but fully functional, gives me great satisfaction and a motor to explore the arcane knowledge of occlusion. After being appreciated by VieSid and accepted as a teacher, I found a new professional path and we started a new School of Smiles project. Sharing knowledge gives new energy and professional satisfaction.

- Starting a new project to spread high-level knowledge mainly for dental technicians, but also for prosthodontists. I seek out the best foreign lecturers and practitioners and also share my own knowledge and experience gained over 20 years of work. As the only technician-teacher in Poland, I conduct accredited training by VieSid for dental technicians in gnathology and occlusion in interdisciplinary dentistry, training in biofunctional planning of prosthetic work, courses in wax-up and modeling of teeth according to natural morphology and anatomy with preservation of function, and application of ceramics with the OpalTechnique method developed by us, which imitates the histo-anatomical structure of natural teeth. The entire program creates an educational continuity from the basics to very advanced topics.
