The Toronto Implant Institute has opened its new teaching center, which will offer practitioners further education on dental implants and improve their surgical techniques.
The facility also doubles as an imaging center, using Carestream Dental's cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems and digital intraoral sensors. The center is led by Ontario-based prosthodontist Natalie Wong, DDS.
The center is offering hands-on surgery classes led by Dr. Wong, with cases provided by the doctors participating in the program. Classes are limited to four people per session, and each session spans six to nine months with one meeting per month. The class size is limited by design, to focus the learning and tailor it to each doctor's needs.
Participating doctors will bring their own patient cases with them to the first class, and surgeries will be scheduled for the remaining sessions. In addition to hands-on surgery training, Dr. Wong will lecture during the classes and host guest speakers.
