Most clinicians struggle with implant surgical procedures in the aesthetic area. But it doesn’t have to be this way!
Achieving optimal aesthetic results in implant surgeries can be challenging due to tissue deficiency and high patient expectations. This course equips you with expert knowledge and hands-on techniques to overcome these difficulties. Gain the confidence to perform aesthetic area surgeries with precision, ensuring predictable, flawless outcomes every time.
“Despite being a periodontist, I have chosen to take this course because there are so many fine tips and tricks that you will get here that you don’t get anywhere else. I have been doing a lot of these procedures, but during this course I have learnt a lot of things that nobody tells you.”
