Dental Implants are the most rapidly growing service in dentistry.

Our "Bread and Butter" course is the way to start now, with support and coaching from a growing network of GP Implants general dentists just like you!

Restoring Dental Implants for General Dental Practice:

This one-day course includes both lecture and workshops the answer to your restorative questions. Held 4-6 months after the "Bread and Butter" course, this one-day restorative course will present both fixed and removable prosthetic options.

We'll look as single tooth restorations, bridges and splinted restorations, overdentures, hybrid prosthetics, and everything in between.

Together, we'll pay special attention to the restorative situations presented by your first cases, including those you placed during your "Bread and Butter" course, and the (hopefully) many you have placed since then. These cases should be ready for restoration before the restorative course is attended.

We'll look at restorative variations and the choices presented by real results, rather than textbook results, so that you are prepared to handle the actual restorative situations you will encounter in your daily practice.
