Dental implants penetration rate into the dental industry is increasing at an exponential rate over the last 20 years since its inception nearly 60 years ago. However, the technology of implants, techniques and how we deliver care have been evolving so quickly to make life easier for dentists to place implants and yet often surgeons are too quick in placing them without having a full picture.

With the advancement of technology, this lecture will discuss how treatment planning can be done at a much more controlled level and we can be more predictable in our outcomes nowadays. Having a beautiful smile and being able to masticate well is still the original purpose of implants; thus how do we ensure that happens for patients.

In addition, what are the main benefits with technology and how do we find the balance; the difference of traditional and digital ways of practice will be illustrated. How do we practice in private practices where it is the most efficient way to keep up with time will be discussed.
