At the completion of the program, participants should be able to:
Identify implant treatment opportunities within everyday crown and bridge cases and understand when implants provide superior outcomes.
Differentiate treatment considerations for single, multiple, and full-arch implant restorations.
Apply a structured case work-up and team-based approach to develop predictable implant treatment plans for real patient cases.
This full-day institute program is designed to help clinicians identify implant opportunities within their existing patient base and develop clear, predictable treatment plans. The morning session will focus on recognizing “hidden” implant candidates, comparing crown and bridge options with implant therapy, and reviewing treatment considerations for single-tooth, multiple-tooth, and full-arch restorations. Participants will also learn a structured approach to case workups and the importance of effective collaboration within the implant team.
In the afternoon, attendees will apply these concepts in an interactive treatment-planning workshop using real cases brought by participants. Guided by your speaker, each case will be reviewed to develop comprehensive, patient-centered implant solutions and establish the requirements for future planning sessions.
