SUMMARY:PAC Mini-Residency Orientation & Case Selection
DESCRIPTION:The Pacific Aesthetic Continuum is returning to Denver for the PAC Aesthetic Mini-Residency!  \nAttend a special one-hour introductory webinar presented by Dr. Michael Miyasaki on May 7\, 5-6 PM Pacific. \nPlease look for the link in your email invitation\, or join with the link below: \nTopic: PAC Mini-Residency Orientation & Case Selection\nTime: May 7\, 2026 05:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n​https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88952242877​\n​\nMeeting ID: 889 5224 2877 \nDr. Michael Miyasaki challenges a common misconception in dentistry: that patients aren’t interested in aesthetic work. The truth? Many are—you just need the trained eye to recognize the opportunity. \nThrough PAC’s dynamic\, aesthetic mini-residency program\, dentists learn to see what they may have been missing. You’ll gain proven systems to confidently approach complex cases\, develop a broader clinical vision inspired by expert instructors\, and be supported by a community of peers who turn new skills into real-world action. \nThis is the right place to start. Dr. Miyasaki provides insight into the PAC’s philosophy on education and guides you in recognizing cases. \nThis orientation is the stepping stone to the PAC’s Aesthetic Mini-Residency scheduled for October 23-24 (Prep weekend) and November 20-21 (Seat weekend) in Denver\, CO. For complete course information\, visit https://thepac.org/event/pac-level-program-live-patient-10/. \nWho We Are: Redefining Continuing Dental Education \nThe Pacific Aesthetic Continuum is a collaboration with the Pacific Aesthetic Laboratory Group\, full-service boutique dental laboratories combining multiple locations into one great resource. Our laboratory management team is on-site at both laboratories Monday through Friday and is committed to hands-on leadership. \nWe work with many of the country’s leading clinicians and educators. Our focus is to provide laboratory services for the discerning dental professional\, with our primary goal on patient satisfaction. In addition\, we are a sought-after resource providing consultation\, case planning\, and accreditation support. With many years of training and supporting leading post-graduate educational programs through laboratory facilitation\, the Pacific Aesthetic Laboratory Group is able to understand and provide restorative prosthetics utilizing the most up-to-date restorative philosophies. Our smile designs have been featured in leading national dental publications\, and we continue to support live patient hands-on courses around the country\, including the Pacific Aesthetic Continuum. \nFor questions\, contact Lissa Bisson\n888-702-2560
