Course Description

This 32 CE hour course is designed to get you proficient in using implant-retained bridges to restore a full arch of dentition using the 3 on 6™ treatment concept. This is an in-person course but also includes online accessible portions that can be accessed in preparation for the training course. The course includes lectures, group discussions, treatment planning, hands-on activities, hands-on surgeries, and a networking event or dinner.

​

Doctors are also invited to bring their lead assistant to be trained. This helps them be prepared to do all of the tasks related to 3 on 6 treatment that they're allowed to do so that you can maximize your time treating patients.

There are no refunds. If you have a scheduling conflict, Smile Systems may issue a credit towards a future training event.
