Treatment Planning Bridges vs Dentures – The Art and Science – PDP198

  • Summary

  • JOIN US on 16th November for Treatment Planning Symposium 2024 - Online Event OR In-Person - you decide! https://youtu.be/G5ebbUl0sDg Watch PDP198 on Youtube Implants are great but they are not always the best solution for our patient. There are many times a bridge or denture may serve the patient’s goals, aesthetics and budget better. So how do we decide between bridges and dentures? Is it acceptable to use root filled tooth as a bridge abutment? Are single tooth posterior dentures risky? Or do patients love them? How do we begin to communicate aspects of replacing teeth with our patients? Join me with our guest Dr Michael Frazis as we discuss the art form of communication with our patients and some outlandish cases including roundhouse bridges. This will really help upskill you on dealing with patients with missing teeth.
