Mastering Implant Success

Glendale, AZ •Friday, December 4, 2015, 9 a.m. - Saturday, December 5, 2015, 5 p.m.

Have you ever seated an anterior implant crown that looked perfect only to have 2mm recession occur a few years down the road? Do you know the when, where, and why of custom implant impression copings? Do you know the when, where, and why of custom healing abutments? Have you been able to successfully communicate with your surgeon an ideal implant placement position that would be more predictable for the soft tissue appearance long term? Do you know what patients are at risk for huge defects even before the tooth is extracted? Do you know what graft should be done at every anterior implant placement which would make your soft tissue level more predictable long term? Do you know an easy way to fabricate an immediate temporary?

Observe an interdisciplinary team with LIVE surgery and prosthetic treatment.

As one of the fastest growing aspects of dentistry, dental implants are becoming a standard of care for every day tooth replacement. While only 4% dental implant fixtures fail, there are a much higher percentage of cases that are aesthetically or otherwise compromised. Learn the essentials in driving success, predictability and ease of restoration hands on with clinicians who are the leaders in their field. There is no substitute for learning in a live patient, hands-on environment. Observe, question, participate all in a clinical setting with clinicians gifted and experienced with the latest advancements in dental implantology.

Whether you have limited experience restoring implants or want to streamline your process, this course will ultimately increase your confidence, acceptance and expertise.
