Anterior Implants, Done Right: Site Development and Abutment Strategies for Predictable Esthetics NEW!
Anterior implants don’t fail because of implants.
They fail because of poor site development and bad prosthetic decisions. This program focuses on the two variables that actually determine esthetic success: soft tissue management and abutment design. Participants will learn how to control emergence profile, guide tissue healing, and select or customize abutments to achieve predictable, natural-looking results in the esthetic zone. A practical, no-nonsense approach built around what works clinically, not what sounds good in theory.
By the end of this course, participants will learn how to:
Format Options:
Hands-On Component:
Participants will fabricate implant provisional restorations on models, focusing on controlling tissue architecture and emergence profile.
By the end of this course, participants will learn how to:
