Las Vegas Implant Immersion Program

Placement of dental implants and implant restorations are the most rapidly growing services in dentistry. Third parties now view implant prosthesis as a viable economic alternative to conventional restorative dentistry. Today’s astute practitioner is preparing for a growing presence of implant care in his or her practice, and you can join that group with a comprehensive implant course for you and your staff. This six-day program for dentists and their staff members conducted in three, two-day sessions, addresses the obstacles to incorporating implants in everyday practice. Upon completion of the program, attendees should be able to gain an increased understanding of treatment planning, treatment sequencing, patient presentation methods and the importance of incorporating implant dentistry as a part of the standard-of care for their patients. Members of the team will become more familiar with implant placement in order to counsel patients on the process will learn about restorative alternatives to assist the doctor in reconstruction and should become more knowledgeable about the financial aspects of care to make it profitable for the team and more accessible to patients.
