Emergency Preparedness Training

On March 2, 2021, our team participated in our annual Emergency Preparedness Training, facilitated by Barbara Furry, RN-BC, MS, CCRN, FAHA from The Center of Excellence in Education.
During this training, the entire team was put through mock emergency situations using our medical simulation mannequin, “Airway Larry”, as our patient. These annual training sessions offer the team an opportunity to practice emergency protocols and keep our skills sharp for situations we don’t normally experience – but may someday. It’s a top priority for us to maintain our skills to ensure the health and safety of our patients and team!

Provisional Options for Dental Implant Treatment

On Thursday, June 13th, 2019, Dr. Robert Vogel will be speaking about creating provisions in preparation for the placement of final dental implant-supported restorations. Such provisional options are often essential in promoting even, symmetrical, and esthetically pleasing results following dental implant placement. They often focus on the health and appearance of the gingival tissues surrounding the implant posts and restoration.

In this hands-on course, sponsored by Doctors Leonard Tyko, and Jason Rogers, Dr. Vogel will help you understand the importance of provisional restorations, how to fabricate them for immediate load, and what factors to consider before and during the procedure.

Nobel Biocare’s Trefoil™ Educational Course

Dr. Tyko is happy to announce he will be attending Nobel Biocare’s training and education course on the revolutionary Trefoil™ system for edentulous patients. The course will be held on May 7th and presented by Edmond Bedrossian, DDS, FACD, FACOMS, FAO.

Nobel Biocare’s Trefoil™ is a comprehensive, full-arch, implant-supported restoration that allows patients to enjoy a definitive set of highly lifelike teeth in one day. Trefoil facilitates immediate loading and function of just three implant posts thanks to an innovative, prefabricated titanium bar. The bar is designed according the precise measurements and contours of the patient’s lower jaw (or mandible) and supported by just three strategically placed, high-load bearing implant posts. It allows for a custom-designed denture to be attached to the implant posts on the same day of implant placement so patients can enjoy their fully restored smiles much sooner.

The course includes a live surgery and hands-on training so attendees gain a comprehensive knowledge of the unique surgical procedure. It is open to and intended for entire implant treatment teams, as the entire team is critical to the success of any dental implant procedure.

After attending the educational course, Dr. Tyko will proudly provide the Trefoil™ system to edentulous patients who qualify. To learn more about the system and whether or not it’s the best implant choice for your smile, contact our office by calling 707-545-4625 (Santa Rosa).
