Acquire the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to get successful and reliable results for all of your surgical procedures.

Did you know that the most common cause of postoperative infection is poor surgical technique?

  • Most general dentists will not progress forward to an expert level due to their limitations in soft tissue management. Short of receiving formal specialization training, they are lacking essential skills required for any surgical procedure.

  • Are you ready to perform surgical procedures with less post-surgical complications?

  • Are you needing to up-skill your everyday surgical techniques?

  • How about your surgical skill tool box…is it in need of a couple new tools?
