And really what you need to do is take a step back and work out why they've got a problem... Jaz's Introduction: Hello everyone, and welcome to Protrusive Dental podcast. This is Episode 19 with Dr. Jason Smithson. Jason Smithson is an internationally acclaimed dentist, and he's a fantastic educator. If you don't know who he is, you're probably living under a rock or something because he is one of those well known dentists in the world. I went to his course around about four years ago now on onlays and veneers, and it's one of the best courses I've been on. He is such an inspirational dentist in the sense that he shares so much of his knowledge. So if you go on Facebook, and you check out some of his cases, they are fantastic. Like I said, he is famous around the world raised it to Latin America and Asia. And when he has time he tries to the UK as well. So I was really excited to have Jason on the podcast today. We will be discussing all things Emaxs, lithium disilicate and particularly in respect to onlays. Cuz you know, we could talk about all sorts of veneers, I suppose we touched on that a little bit,
