Description:

Patients walk in and want “teeth.” This course will discuss complex fixed prosthetic cases with an eye toward excellence and how dentists should analyze and treat patients with severe dental problems. Dr. Winter will cover fixed implant treatment planning from single-tooth solutions to fixed hybrids and full-mouth implant rehabilitation. Foundation development (grafting) and how to treatment plan the foundation to do implant dentistry also will be discussed. Whether you have a team or do the surgery yourself, this course will work to make you the "quarterback!" From cone beam computed tomography planning to sinus augmentation and block grafts, the restorative dentist must understand all components and have the dialogue to educate a patient to receive what they need from the surgeon! Dr. Winter will cover some restorative dentistry and how to properly treat cases ranging from bulimia to full-mouth rehabilitation sequencing. This is a 20,000-ft. view of many cases that are difficult to manage and treat, which will help implement sequencing and dialogues to help patients achieve life-changing dentistry at a pace and budget they can afford.
