Are you generally mechanically inclined, with an affinity for tinkering around with tools?) After his clinical practice, Michael wanted to dig back into academics. This led...

Let’s talk about dental implant continuing education for the general dentist! I’m often asked what the best courses are for a general dentist to learn implantology. The short answer is to take all of the courses you can, but the longer answer depends on other things including what you already know, your current abilities, and the current state of your practice.
