DDS
Dr. Robert T. Erickson is the Director of Education at Brighter Way Dental Center. In addition, he is also the Director of the Comprehensive Oral Implantology Residency program at Brighter Way, which is an affiliate training center for Jacksonville University’s newest post-doctoral, dental education program. The program offers Resident Dentists the opportunity to earn a Masters Degree in Dentistry and a Certification in Comprehensive Oral Implantology upon completion of a rigorous, three year academic and clinical training experience. Prior to his arrival at Brighter Way, Dr. Erickson was Associate Professor at the A.T. Still University Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. In addition, Dr. Erickson was Adjunct Professor for the NYU Langone Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Residency, in the Advanced Care Clinic at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. Throughout his time at the University, Dr. Erickson was also on faculty at several private dental implant training centers in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. Dr. Erickson began his career as a General Dentist after completing Dental School at Creighton University and a General Practice Residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He then went on to complete a Residency in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Michigan at what is now known as the Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital OMFS Residency program. In the years following his specialty training, Dr. Erickson was in private oral surgery practice and it was during this time that he developed a keen interest in oral implantology. To strengthen his skills in the emerging field of digital dentistry, Dr. Erickson obtained additional post-doctoral education by completing a second specialty training program in Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he also earned a Masters of Science in Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology. It is with this unique combination of dual dental specialties, private practice experience and years of instructing dental students, residents and practicing dentists, that Dr. Erickson will put all of his education and experience to use teaching at Brighter Way Dental.

Description

This hybrid full arch course is a comprehensive master course that includes 4 days in-person education, with an introductory online session. The overarching focus is a minimally invasive approach into full arch implant dentistry that is a patient centric, and biologically driven solution. 

The 8 intensive course modules are comprised of lectures and hands-on exercises that complement each module.
Medical and systemic patient evaluation is covered in detail.
Virtual treatment planning utilizing advanced digital workflows, to determine predictable treatment option for the patient, is one of the many topics discussed along with surgical techniques and tools required for execution of minimally invasive full arch surgery. 

At the end of the course, attendees will have learned a step-by-step protocol from start to finish, how to successfully treatment plan and perform minimally invasive FP1 and FP3 treatment, while achieving exceptional restorative and esthetic outcomes.

Course Objective

• Digital Workflows: Learn how to integrate virtual treatment planning techniques into your practice for precise and predictable outcomes.
• Comprehensive Patient Evaluation: Enhance your ability to assess complex medical and systemic cases, and collect proper data acquisition for case selection.
• Step-by-Step Surgical Protocols: Refine your skills with complete understanding of each option of FP1 thru RP5 hands-on training for application of full arch guided and free hand protocols.
By the end of this program, you’ll have the tools and techniques needed to confidently incorporate full arch implant treatment into your practice, elevating the level of care you provide and the results you achieve.
Join us and take your expertise in full arch implant dentistry to the next level while making a meaningful impact on your patients' lives.
