Restorative Dentistry Updates

Savannah, GA •Friday, October 21, 2016 • 7:45 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Our day together begins with the challenges we face in dentistry today, and how do you implement change within your practice? The course then transitions into the latest in caries diagnostics and how these technologies actually can change our protocols for our patients today. The morning program will update the attendee with the latest in direct restorative approaches and then lead into an afternoon of treating more clinical situations including cracked teeth, periodontal/restorative concerns, implants and far more. Though many courses offer such, this course will challenge you to think throughout the day, “what is best for the patient” and isn’t that what counts? This full day program will open your eyes as to where restorative dentistry is, and where it is going.
