Simplifying Complex Treatment

Product Details

This is the most comprehensive course offered by Gordon!  

Do you have patients with complex rehabilitative needs, and you wonder if you are the practitioner to treat them? Gordon can help you feel confident in your treatment choices!

This course will include:

  • Integrating fixed, removable, and implant prosthodontic procedures with other clinical areas.
  • Increasing your knowledge in occlusion to provide longer-lasting, comfortable treatment.
  • Restoring implants with confidence you haven’t placed yourself.
  • The best restorations for implants.
  • The best materials, devices, and techniques for single teeth to full arches.
  • Long-term preventive maintenance for complex patients.
  • Providing long-term occlusal maintenance through the stages of life.
  • When to refer treatment to other practitioners.

Many patients have extensive oral rehabilitative needs, but do not have financial wherewithal for a total rehabilitation at one time. Gordon shares how to best accomplish incremental treatment, spread over several years, at a cost most average-income patients can afford.

As a special feature of this course, we encourage attendees to bring radiographs and casts for 1-2 of your patients for whom you are planning comprehensive oral rehabilitative procedures. These cases will be observed, discussed, and potential treatment plans presented by Gordon and PCC Mentors.

Helpful Tip:  If you are considering 2 or more PCC hands-on classes, we strongly encourage you to check out our Christensen Continuum Program.  You can save over 30% off your course tuition by joining the Continuum Program and receive additional free benefits.
