I've been using Ivoclar's new Ceram Art liquid ceramic with its self-leveling glaze for about six months now, and I have truly fallen in love with it.

Dr. Klim on the road, sharing his passion for conservative aesthetic dentistry and functional dentistry. Educating clinicians, advancing digital workflows, and helping dentists preserve natural tooth structure while creating healthy, beautiful, long-lasting smiles.

A dental perspective from Dr. Klim's teaching Klim Institute Blog on trends in dental materials.

Are Printed Veneers a Reasonable Alternative to Ceramic? — Klim Institute While I embrace daily printing in my practice, a critical question arises: are anterior printed final restorations a viable alternative to traditional ceramics? Let's explore this topic further.

At the office of Dr. James Klim, we’re excited to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) — a modern approach to dental cleanings that is gentler, more precise, and focused on long-term oral health.

GBT uses advanced technology to remove the bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease — often with less scraping and greater comfort.

✔ Gentle for sensitive patients
✔ Ideal for dental implants and restorations
✔ Helps improve gum health
✔ Removes stains from coffee, tea, and wine
✔ Prevention-focused care

We’ve always prioritized thorough, high-quality hygiene care — Guided Biofilm Therapy is the next evolution in that commitment to precision, comfort, and long-term health.

Great job on the hands-on CPR training—our team started the AED in under 60 seconds three times, which corresponds to about a 90% survival rate for cardiac events. Well done, team!

Progressive, preventive care can make a big difference—even for small cosmetic concerns like pegged lateral incisors. Rather than removing healthy tooth structure or placing crowns on young teeth, we now use digital design and advanced ceramic materials to create prepless, conservative veneers that are milled, color-matched, and bonded without drilling or local anesthesia. This minimally invasive, forward-thinking approach preserves tooth structure while improving function and aesthetics, reflecting our commitment to evolving, patient-centered care.

Restoring a single anterior tooth in the smile zone can be accomplished well. It is about the art of distraction and avoiding visual tension. Which tooth is it?
