Partial Denture Design

The combination of fixed prosthetics and removable partials is one of the most challenging aspects of comprehensive dentistry. During our 2 1/2 day course we will discuss how this prosthetic success can become very predictable for you and your patients. Using selected case studies you will learn a programmed approach to treatment planning, but more importantly a programmed approach to treatment sequencing that will ensure success with these cases. See course description.

Complete Dentures

This complete denture course will concentrate on the process of complete denture construction and provide the participants with an esthetic and functional checklist to be used to gain predictable results. See course description.

Dental Implants: Advanced Comprehensive Treatment Planning

This course is designed to allow the practitioner to investigate all potential treatment options prior to initiating a treatment plan and to achieve an exceptional clinical outcome while meeting or exceeding the patient’s expectations.  All aspects of establishing a diagnosis and proper treatment plan, as well as, sequencing the treatment will be presented in order to provide successful implant dentistry for our patients. See course description.

Restoring Posterior Teeth

This course will help eliminate frustrations and costly remakes by focusing on the key determinants of occlusal stability as well as how to handle occlusal plane problems, prep design, lab communication, and material selection for indirect restorations. Practice placement of a class II composite on a model using a sectional matrix to develop excellent interproximal form and contacts. In addition, a hands-on CAD/CAM design and milling exercises will demonstrate how the latest technology integrates with time tested occlusal principles. See course description.
