Start Placing Implants Without Overcomplicating It
Event Details
If you’ve been restoring implants but hesitating to place them, this webinar walks you through the repeatable approach that turns implant placement from intimidating to achievable. Dr. Headley shares the framework for choosing the right cases, following a predictable workflow, and avoiding the pitfalls that derail most beginners.

Attendees leave knowing exact millimeter spacing formulas, precise drilling RPMs, how to read bone density from D1-D4, and exactly which cases to take on first, and which to avoid.
