Description
Al is joined by Dr. Darin Dichter and Dr. Doug Benting, the instructors of a course Al took at Spear Education in Scottsdale last week! Some of the topics they discussed: Why doesn’t one size fit all for someone who loses all of their teeth? Why should dentures be the basis for all cosmetic dentistry? Why is removable the red-headed stepchild of dentistry? How can you start planning for a “terminal dentition” earlier to make a transition to edentulous easier and more predictable. Losing teeth is a grieving process! Informed consent and practicing “slow dentistry” Do you hate dentures because you’ve bought into the “short cuts?” All-on-4 is appropriate for some cases. Not all. Pay in dollars or pay in bone? Can a patient give informed consent for bone removal like All-in-4? They’ll NEVER get that bone back! Let’s talk about “terminal” dentition! Some teeth are hopeless, but not useless What has Spear done to keep people safe and comfortable in the COVID era Some links from the show: Restoring the Edentulous Arch Spear Online
