As a way to have a positive impact on the options people have with their smiles, Dr. Wells is committed to teaching other dentists the special prepless DURAthin techniques. He hosts lectures and seminars in his office so dentists from other areas will be able to offer this exciting option to their patients.

Mark Willes

Experience Dental Studio's founder, Mark Willes, began his training at Utah Valley Dental Lab in 1996. He soon became a partner there which led to an invitation from the Pacific Aesthetic Continuum (PAC-live) as an assistant instructor for their Advanced Anterior Course. Mark has developed several live patient programs and has also worked over the years as a lab instructor for the Hornbrook Group. His current hands-on, DURAthin LIVE courses with Dr. Dennis Wells are helping dentists across the country provide their patients with viable, beautiful, minimal-prep options.

Today, Mark's great love and passion for continuing education continues. He teaches a number of live, hands-on courses and ceramic programs across the country-each designed to enhance the skills of dentists interested in leading-edge aesthetic techniques. Mark has participated in the cementation of literally thousands of restorations. These live patient experiences have given Mark an opportunity to see first hand what dentists desire to achieve with their patients. It has become the foundation for an artistic perspective very few ceramists develop during their careers; and perhaps most importantly, this unique insight continues to translate into direct benefits for Experience Dental Studio client dentists and their patients.

Located in Provo, Utah, Experience Dental Studio is the exclusive laboratory for designing DURAthin veneers. The consistency that dentists know and expect from Experience Dental Studio has come in part from Mark's dedication to CE, his pursuit of perfection, and his teaching abilities. Every Experience Dental Studio team member has been carefully sought out and personally trained by Mark to execute his vision for excellence.
