Implants in the Dawson Philosophy
What you will learn
In this presentation we discuss the challenges inherent with implant dentistry. Nothing will challenge a dentist more in terms of figuring out precise tooth position prior to implant surgery. We go over how implants are different than teeth and get very clear on how we can utilize the Dawson Wizard, a diagnostic cast, and a cone beam to get crystal-clear on implant placement prior to the surgical and prosthetic phases.
