Option 1

Virtual Education During Clinic Hours

1 CE Credit 1 Hour

AvaDent/Zest clinical teams support the workflow from proper records and prosthodontic fundamentals through case submission, review, approval and successful delivery.

Best for teams seeking valuable clinical education with minimal disruption to patient care and clinic production.

Option 2

In-Person Clinical Workshop

5 CE Credits Half Day

An immersive didactic and hands-on program covering full-arch anatomy, fundamental prosthodontic principles, proper impression techniques, digital workflows, Locator attachments, removable overdenture therapy, Locator Fixed solutions, best practices and complication avoidance.

Best for teams seeking concentrated, in-person education and hands-on clinical learning.

Option 3

In-Office Live Patient Immersion

1–2 Days Live Patient Experience

AvaDent and Zest educators come directly to the VA clinic for one or two days of real-time, case-based education. The clinic strategically schedules relevant denture, overdenture and Locator Fixed patients, allowing providers to receive hands-on guidance while maintaining a productive clinical schedule.

Best for teams seeking the highest level of real-world education, clinical consultation and support with the least unnecessary disruption to clinic production.
