Referring Doctors
Dental Implant Residency 2009-2010

Ask yourself these questions:

  • When have you been overwhelmed with an implant case?
  • How at ease are you with a single implant restoration?
  • How simple is a full-mouth reconstruction to you?
  • Why are patients reluctant to accept your plans?
  • What prosthetic shortcuts exist to make your job easier?
  • Which new implant innovations do you profit from?
  • When last did you better the way you strategize and treat?
  • Whom do you turn to for advice?

Implant dentistry must be a part of the repertoire of a modern clinician. It can be, however, a daunting undertaking for novice and experienced practitioner alike. Knowing how to start a case, let alone finish it, may appear to be very complicated.

Interactive and Thought-Provoking

This interactive seminar will give you the means to overcome the confusion with the help of prosthodontists and surgeons. Thought-provoking discussions of your cases and detailed tutorials on therapy and patient management allow resolution of the questions raised above and many more.

Drs. Smith and LoCascio

Due to overwhelming popularity, previous speakers Dr. Jay Smith and Dr. Steven LoCascio return together for an encore season. This combined-mentor program will delve deeper into selecting and planning cases that mix implants with conventional dentistry. With guidance from two of the best prosthodontic thought leaders, this series will make you rethink again how implant dentistry can serve your patients and your practice.
