"I'd like to express my thanks the VDEC implant mentorship program and VDEC’s continued support of helping and advising me over the last few years for surgeries.

The surgical mentorship program has allowed me to continue developing and be confident in placing implants with grafting procedures. In the two years, since the start of my surgical program, I've been able to offer many patients single implants and alveolar socket preservations in my own office and bring in patients to surgical days for more difficult cases, such as the last two cases with lateral window sinus augmentations.

This program will teach you how to provide esthetically driven implant placement and restorations."

You have made such a stunning transformation of my smile and my life. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and care about creating a healthy, happy and brilliant smile.”
