Course Description
When faced with either partial or full edentulism, the options that are available to most patients are often limited to either conventional dentures, which are poorly retained, or implant-retained fixed prostheses, which are very expensive, complicated, and stressful for the providing dentist. Implant retained removable dentures are a wonderful “middle-ground” option. The problem is that they require knowledge and comfort with all the tiny parts and pieces needed for successful execution.
In this entertaining and highly practical presentation, Dr. Gupta simplifies the surgical process, providing a simple, step-by-step guide from the new patient consult all the way to surgical implant placement.

Course contents
Meet the instructor
Ankur Gupta, DDS
Armed with what he considered adequate knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became un-predictable, and his lower back and spirit toward life became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self; attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement.
More than a decade later, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution oriented dental team; and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.
Dr. Ankur Gupta is a 2004 graduate of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. After completing a one-year General Practice Residency in Cleveland, started a practice from scratch in 2005.
