info_outlineAl 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
