Digital Advancement in Implant Dentistry

Course Overview

This 3-hour evening course provides a foundational overview of digital dentistry workflows, focusing on how technologies such as intraoral scanners, CBCT, planning software, and in-office 3D printing can enhance the smooth flow of the implant process.

Participants will see how these tools can function independently or as part of an integrated system to streamline clinical, team, and laboratory workflows. Through live demonstrations, including 3D printing and hands-on scanning, attendees will gain practical insight into implementation considerations, evaluate their practice readiness, and identify next steps for integrating digital solutions.

The Digital Dentistry Advantage

Course Overview

This continuing education program explores the current landscape of digital dentistry and how practices can successfully integrate digital workflows to improve efficiency, enhance the patient experience, and optimize treatment outcomes.

Participants will learn how digital dentistry begins with intraoral scanning and expands into both additive manufacturing, including 3D printing, and subtractive manufacturing, including milling solutions. The course demonstrates how digital workflows can be tailored to the unique needs of each practice, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you are just beginning your digital journey or looking to expand your current capabilities, this course will provide valuable insight into the many pathways available to modern dental practices and help determine which approach best suits your business.

Topics Include

• The role of intraoral scanning as the foundation of digital dentistry.
• Understanding additive manufacturing, including 3D printing, and subtractive manufacturing, including milling workflows.
• Evaluating which technologies best align with your practice goals and clinical focus.
• Fixed versus removable workflows and their impact on technology selection.
• Outsourcing versus in-house design and manufacturing options.
• Building a digital workflow that fits your team, budget, and patient needs.
• Real-world applications and practical considerations for implementing digital solutions.
