Full-Arch, Immediate-Load Course with Live Surgical & Restorative Demonstration (Phoenix, 11-12 September 2026)

This comprehensive 2-day course in Phoenix brings together implant clinicians and their teams for advanced training in full-arch, immediate-load (all-on-x) treatment. Held September 11-12, 2026, the program is led by Dr. Shaun Young, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and Dr. Andrew Ferrier, a prosthodontist. The curriculum is structured around three core learning tracks: surgical, restorative, and photogrammetry techniques, with a fourth module dedicated to implant marketing strategies.

On the surgical side, attendees learn best practices in instrumentation, efficient ridge reduction, optimal implant positioning for adequate anterior-posterior spread, and application of L-PRF membranes. The course covers achieving optimum torque values in soft bone, understanding when zygomatic or pterygoid implants should be considered, soft tissue management, and recognition of surgical complications. The restorative track addresses multi-unit abutment torque values, strategies for avoiding high smile line esthetic failures, immediate-fixed denture conversion techniques, vertical dimension of occlusion considerations, and final full-arch prosthesis design.

A hands-on photogrammetry session introduces digital scanning and imaging for all-on-x cases, including stain and glaze workshop training. The marketing component provides a step-by-step consultation blueprint, case acceptance strategies, and methods to attract fixed-hybrid denture cases while maximizing insurance benefits and financing options.

The course welcomes surgical specialists, general dentists with intermediate to advanced implant surgery experience, restorative doctors, auxiliary team members, and dental laboratory technicians. Attendees are encouraged to bring their entire clinical team for optimal collaborative learning. The program includes 16 CE credit hours and features live surgical and restorative demonstrations providing real-world skill development applicable immediately to clinical practice.
