Course Description

There is still confusion amongst hygienists, therapists, and dentists about what you should and should not do to maintain dental implants. What do we really need to do to make dental implants last?

This course is delivered by Karen Morrison who works as a full-time hygienist in an implant referral practice and Pratik Patel who works as a full-time implant dentist.

Working together, they plan for their patients’ implant maintenance and understand what is necessary to provide long term function and aesthetics around dental implants.
