Lesson 1Interproximal finishing during build: creating contacts, finishing strips, and preserving embrasure anatomyThis part focuses on side finishing during veneer build, showing how to make proper contacts, keep embrasure shape, and use strips and discs to refine shape without harming nearby teeth or soft tissues.
