Facial-analysis-driven smile design from Spear Education — implants, provisionals and shade matching in 20 lessons
Beautiful anterior work starts at the face, and Smile Design Simplified: Implants, Provisionals & Perfect Shade Matching teaches that order with Frank Spear and Gregg Kinzer of Spear Education. Across roughly ten hours you move from reading lips, proportion and profile, through provisional techniques and multi-tooth implant replacement, to color science, arrangement and lab communication.

What you’ll be able to do
- Assess a smile through facial analysis — lips, proportion and profile
- Select and build eggshell, implant and conventional provisionals
- Plan multiple missing anterior teeth with implant strategies
- Apply color science to choose accurate restorative shades
- Refine arrangement, contour and lab communication for natural results
Inside the course
Start at the face
The opening module trains your eye to evaluate faces esthetically — how lips frame the display, how proportion and profile shape the plan — before any tooth is touched.
Provisionals and anterior implants
You compare provisional materials and techniques, including immediate implant provisionalisation, then tackle the biology of central-central, central-lateral and central-central-lateral replacement.
Color, alternatives and finishing
Later modules cover color theory and its clinical application, alternative options when teeth are missing, and the arrangement, contour and technician communication that carry a design to delivery.
About the faculty
Frank Spear and Gregg Kinzer run a Seattle practice limited to esthetic and fixed prosthodontics and teach at Spear Education; Martin Mendelson adds coaching on managing the practice pressures around this work.

Before you buy
Is this implant-only?
No. Implants feature in two modules, but facial analysis, provisionals, color and contour apply to any anterior restorative case.
Who leads the teaching?
The clinical modules are led by Frank Spear and Gregg Kinzer; Martin Mendelson contributes on the mindset and workflow side.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
