Implant dentistry has entered a new era; one of artificial intelligence and expert pre-planning. The Complete Clinician course offers a unique opportunity to learn from expert, interdisciplinary mentorship and supervision of a team of outstanding board-certified specialists, including a prosthodontist, a periodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who are dedicated to supporting you in your success.
The Complete Clinician course caters to novice implant dentists eager to embark on the rewarding journey of implants; implant placers with limited experience who wish to progress to the next level, and to implant surgeons who would benefit from incorporating computer-guided technology into their implant practice.

SUNDAY (5-Day Registrants Only): Meet and greet pre-screened patients. Intra-oral clinical photos will be taken and the Cone Beam CT Scan information will be available. This day is devoted to training all participants in detailed treatment planning of real cases in our program. We will go through several patients’ charts, including photos, CT Scan images, digital/conventional models and computer-guided plans. Each participant will thus have the opportunity to view and participate in the treatment planning of past course surgical cases along with cases from their own upcoming patients. Participants will practice hands-on prosthetics and surgery on models with the appropriate kits and instruments provided by Straumann.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19 OR SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20 (5-Day Registrants Only): Implant surgery video refresher. Live patient surgeries performed by participants under one-on-one supervision via computer-guided technology
5-Day Registrants: Patient Selection for Surgical Weekend
The patient for your surgical session does not need to be selected before the didactic session begins, however having a patient ready enhances your experience. Patients can be provided for out-of-town and out-of-province dentists, if requested in advance. For those who have requested patients, face-to-face meetings and live exams will be arranged between dentists and patients. When this is not possible, a full set of clinical images and diagnostic data will be presented on PowerPoint. The West Coast Institute will follow up with registrants to coordinate patient details and answer questions regarding patient selection.
