Course Description


Implant placement from a prosthodontic perspective.

This course gives you the mentored experience you need to master optimally placed dental implants for the best aesthetic and functional restorations.

After intensive multi-session hands-on instruction, you will be mentored while surgically placing implants into your own patient.

Unlike other weekend courses where you buy equipment but never feel comfortable enough to go home and use it, our participants have 100% success rates in integration of implant placement into their practices.

Course Objectives

  • Successfully utilize the most advanced and least invasive technique of tooth replacement
  • Become successful at achieving prosthodontically favorable implant positioning utilizing emerging techniques including Biaxial Implant Positioning
  • Reduce complications associated with malpositioned implants
  • Increase auxiliary staff’s level of comfort and competence in implant placement assistance
  • Increase patient satisfaction by providing esthetically pleasing and functional solutions for missing teeth
  • Increase patient satisfaction and increase practitioner success with single provider care practice management

This step-by-step course prepares the participant for implant dentistry in his practice.The final session will be devoted to placing implants in the patient provided by the individual participant. A patient may be provided for a participant for a fee subject to availability.

Hands-on laboratory workshops will be located in the on-site 12 station professional laboratory.

Testimonials


Buchanan Testimonial

“The cadaver workshops were worth double the price of the whole course.”
Chris Wolken, DDS, St. Louis, MO

“Best CE of my whole career!”
Steve Wagner, Prosthodontist, Albuquerque, NM

“Training my assistants has made all the difference in the world—they really enjoyed the course and came away with a great deal of enthusiasm. Their excitement, coupled with the high quality of the training, has made the the integration of implant placement into my practice so much easier.”
Bob Hall, DDS, Topeka, KS


Dr. Tom McGarry has been an exceptional mentor to me in my implant placement training. The most important message I share with endodontists who have decided to become involved in implantology is that these procedures are, and should be, prosthetically driven.

Testimonials

Dr. McGarry’s expertise as a prosthodontist/implant surgeon has enabled me to effectively communicate with my restorative colleagues and to ideally position implant fixtures right where they need them.

Dr. McGarry is an approachable and talented teacher, his training facility is state-of-the-art, and it has been pure pleasure to be his student. I give him my highest recommendation. L. Stephen Buchanan, Endodontist, Santa Barbara, CA
