Dental Continuing Education

Implant Dentistry Continuum™ offers a comprehensive implant training program, spread across 4 weekends, focused on equipping you with the clinical and technical foundation you need to add implant dentistry to your practice. What makes Continuum so unique and valuable is the way it combines in-depth lectures on all aspects of Implant Dentistry with hands-on workshops. Using specially designed surgical, soft tissue and prosthetic models (including a cadaver specimen) you will sharpen your skills under the watchful eyes of a caring faculty before you return to the office. The result:

Continuum provides the fundamentals and the experience you need to succeed – both from the clinical side and the business side. It takes the mystery out of Implant Dentist as everything is carefully explained in detail in a crystal clear, step-by-step fashion.
Earn up to 88 CE Hours from these four sessions (CE Credit hours will be awarded based on actual hour-for-hour attendance).
Available on a sequenced, convenient weekend schedule to accommodate your busy life and practice responsibilities. This enables you to take the knowledge gained in each session and apply it immediately in your home practice prior to the following session. You can put what you learn to work Monday morning upon your return.
You’ll also discover “tricks of the trade” that can save you money and improve your bottom line results when providing this service.
Lectures are extremely organized and professionally presented by an accomplished teacher and trainer. They’re comprehensive, informative, and fun. Plus, during each session, you will discuss your office experiences with the instructors, receive additional coaching, and learn additional surgical and restorative skills.
Session content provides a consistent approach to implants instead of a scattered approach from multiple trainers sponsored by different implant companies. You will receive practical, usable information, not infomercials.
With hands-on workshops, you won’t just sit and listen - you will perform. Using soft tissue and prosthetic models, you will sharpen your skills under the watchful eyes of the faculty before returning to your office. (Plus, you will perform multiple implant and related surgeries on a cadaver specimen.)
The experience you gain and the skills you acquire can be life-changing not only for your patients, but for you and your entire team as well. AND this lays a solid foundation for future training on more advanced topics of Implantology.

Session 5 - Live Patient Surgical Course Phoenix

Course Overview:

Designed to be an exhilarating experience, students will have the opportunity to work with Dr. Arun K. Garg's expert staff. Takes place at our training facilities where numerous patients will be treated. Through the live patient surgical course you will be able to take your implant surgical skills to new heights with full guidance of our highly trained faculty.

You will get to perform single implant placement cases both freehand and guided. In addition, bone grafting procedures incorporating PRP/PRF.

During the 2-day program, you will place 7 implants yourself and assist in an additional 7. You will also have the chance to treatment plan not only your own cases, but of many of the other cases throughout the day. CT scans will be performed on many of the cases for the day as a group allowing each participant to understand positioning, length of implants, diameter of implants, treatment planning, and more. We will also conduct post-op CT scans and review them as a group at the conclusion of each day to evaluate what was done correctly and what can be improved in regards to positioning, angulation, spacing, size of implants, etc. To facilitate this, we now have a dedicated CT scan specialist present at each program as well as a dedicated Registered Nurse with decades of experience in order to assist in evaluating the medical status of patients pre, post, and during surgery as well as being available to you for any questions regarding medical status of patients or medical emergencies.

- Panorex's (as well as PA's and CBCT) available on each and every patient.
- Work two doctors per chair being each other’s co-surgeon
- One of Dr. Garg’s highly trained faculty: one for every two chairs

All aspects of guided-implant planning using CBCT.
