This course is designed for dentists already placing dental implants that want to progress to fully guided implant surgery.  This course focuses on guided surgical principles and protocols for guided implant placement success.  At the completion of this course, doctors should have the knowledge and confidence to confidently place implants with guided surgery.  Guided implant surgery will improve patient experiences, reduce chair time, improve safety and produce more predictable implant surgery results.
