Office Staff Continuing Education

Dear Readers,

In order to keep our office up to date with the latest procedures and technology, I am devoted to participating in as much continuing education as possible. That being said, I wanted to update you on the latest seminars my staff and I have been able to attend.

‘Restoring Implants and Their Surrounding Teeth’

Presented By: Dr. Tony Mancuso

Office Attendees: Dr. Richard Stickney

Dr. Mancuso is known for being one of Canada’s leading experts on restorative dentistry. In this particular seminar, he focused on the restoration of implants and surrounding teeth. A dental implant is an artificial tooth replacement used to replace missing teeth and prevent or stop jaw bone loss. Dental implants have become a large and important part of restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Therefore, I believe it is very important for the welfare of my patients that I am fully educated and updated about the implant process and restoration of previous implant work. This seminar focused on pretreatment considerations for proper treatment outcomes, treatment planning for crowns and bridges, mini implants, and restoring full mouth reconstructions utilizing implants and porcelain restorations. I also appreciate and support Dr. Mancuso’s approach to placing crown margins above gum tissue in order to prevent gum disease. This is not a process all dentists incorporate, but I find that keeping the margins above the gum tissue prevents bacterial build-up and infection. I found Dr. Tony Mancuso and his seminar very informative and interesting. I look forward to implementing the tools and information he presented to better serve you!
