X‑Treme Aesthetics – Painting & Microlayering For Dental Prosthetics with Lisa Johnson
High‑impact aesthetics for digitally produced prosthetics, composites dentures and temporaries.
The rapid adoption of digital production techniques, including printed resins and milled PMMA, composite, and hybrid ceramics, has transformed laboratory workflows. While these technologies deliver excellent accuracy and efficiency, many laboratories are now looking for predictable, streamlined ways to further enhance aesthetics and individualisation.

Meet Lisa Johnson
With over 30 years of experience as a dental technician and 10 years as a GC UK Key Opinion Leader, Lisa has delivered demonstrations and courses across the UK and internationally. Her ability to simplify complex ceramic techniques and share practical hints and tips makes this course an invaluable opportunity to learn from a highly respected educator in the field.
Course Description:
This one‑day hands‑on course introduces the GC GRADIA PLUS Painting & Microlayering concept — a light‑cured composite system designed to add depth, vitality and individual character to digitally manufactured prosthetics.
Led by Lisa Johnson, delegates will learn how to apply painting and microlayering techniques to elevate monolithic and digitally designed restorations, achieving natural tooth and gingival aesthetics through a simplified, reproducible workflow. The course is ideal for prosthetic technicians and ceramists diversifying into light‑cured characterisation following the introduction of digital production into their laboratories.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:
Confidently apply painting and microlayering techniques using GRADIA PLUS to enhance digitally produced restorations
Add depth, translucency and individual character to PMMA, composite and hybrid ceramic prosthetics
Improve aesthetic outcomes for All‑on‑X and denture cases using a structured, light‑cured workflow
Achieve predictable and reproducible results with minimal material complexity
Integrate a modern composite characterisation system seamlessly into digital laboratory production
