Breakaway Thinking - Taking your Implant Practice to a New Level

What is the percentage of case acceptance in your office?
Why is it that some people can sell a Rolls Royce, while others can't sell a Hyundai?
What is the common denominator of all those patients who do not accept treatment?
The answer is simple. It's you. It's your belief system. Without exception you always manifest your belief system.
The days of hanging up your shingle and expecting line-ups at your door are over. These are very competitive times and the public is becoming more aware, more educated and more demanding of better service and better results.
Conventional business wisdom cannot help you keep pace with these rapid, unpredictable nerve shattering changes that are accelerating exponentially. Outmoded ideas can actually lead you to obsolescence and failure.
The key to success today is your ability to market and be marketed.
You have control over both. This session will show you ways to simplify implant surgery from single tooth to full arch reconstruction regardless of the degree of bone loss. You will learn how to maximize the success rate, achieve complete patient satisfaction and shorten the time to completion.

Learning Objectives:
- Understand factors that influence implant esthetics
- Learn how to manage soft tissue around dental implant
- Learn how to perform several most common soft tissue grafting procedures
- Understand the rationale and technique for predictable ridge and horizontal bone augmentation to ensure papillae appearance
Achieving appropriate esthetic results for implants in the anterior maxilla mandates careful evaluation of several anatomic factors. Factors that are important for achieving the esthetic outcome before a hopeless tooth is extracted will be addressed. Proper treatment planning in such cases requires careful appraisal of all these factors and the ability of the treating clinician to modify them to avoid potential esthetic compromises in the final restoration.
Ridge (socket) preservation techniques, bone augmentation (e.g., Sandwich bone augmentation technique) as well as flapless implant surgery will be illustrated and discussed. Materials used for these procedures will be presented. In addition, soft tissue management, utilizing various materials such as free soft tissue graft; subepithelial connective tissue graft; dermal matrix; GTR membranes; tissue engineering; and many new innovative techniques, around dental implants will be thoroughly demonstrated and discussed
