Course Description:
Upon successful completion of both didactic and hands-on portion of this course, doctors will earn 6 CE credits.
Why settle for a bridge when your patients can have better?
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement — easier to clean, better for bone health, and no need to touch adjacent teeth. But here's the challenge most clinicians face: the moment a tooth is extracted, the clock starts ticking. Without functional stress on the alveolar bone, resorption begins almost immediately, often compromising the very foundation needed for a successful implant.
The good news? It doesn't have to go that way.
Join DOCS Education and Dr. Jay Reznick, DMD, MD, in Atlanta this August for a hands-on course that gives you the protocols, techniques, and confidence to get ahead of ridge resorption before it becomes a problem. You'll learn the principles of minimally traumatic extraction and alveolar ridge preservation grafting — an approach proven to maintain bone volume and set the stage for prosthetically driven implant placement done right.
