Synopsis:
In this presentation, Dr. Paul Goodman will review how a general dentist can safely and predictably get involved in implant dentistry. More and more general dentists are starting to place dental implants. Just like any other area of dentistry, a general dentist can do straightforward cases and refer more difficult cases to a specialist. Implants can be SHARED just like a great plate of nachos.

Over the past ten years, Dr. Goodman has acquired three dental practices and has transformed his father’s general practice into a dental group that employs four general dentists, a specialist and over twenty team members in two locations.
