Topics included in his presentations include single and multiple implant restorations (cement and screw-retained), immediate provisionals, attachment-retained overdentures, bar overdentures, and All on Four procedures, among many other items.

Lectures are presented with slides, videos, and animations to make the learning experience memorable with items that can be implemented quickly in the real world office.
