About the Course
Patient quality of life is negatively impacted by the common problems of failing dentition and edentulism. Accurately identifying and treatment planning these issues is essential for long-term patient comfort, health and happiness. Dental implant therapy has proven to be a superior method with better treatment results as compared to removable prostheses or fixed bridges.
High Tech Dental Seminars lecture series has been carefully curated to ensure a full understanding of all aspects of implant therapy from choosing the right implant to patient follow-up. We intend to instil in you the confidence to restore implants successfully in your own practice, to immediately broaden your skill base, and increase patient satisfaction. This course is founded upon the latest technology, leading peer-reviewed research, and over three decades of combined practical hands-on experience.
