"I would definitely recommend the mini-residency program. It’s essential, I feel. By my patients knowing that I am taking this course and doing this advanced training with the oral surgeons, I think it does instill confidence in them for sure."

"One of the big differences is the continuity. It just keeps going, so you keep building upon the stuff that you’ve learned the years before. The systems they have in place are just so well thought out."

"The more active I become involved in the implant study club, the more patients I seem to be able to attract to being interested in receiving implants. The more educated I become, the more educated I can be for my patients to answer their questions."

"Implant work now for our practice, I don’t shy away from it. I haven’t done fixed cemented bridges for a number of years now because I think implant dentistry is the way to go for restoring missing teeth."
