Ancillary procedures, such as bone augmentation procedures, will also be discussed.
This course is a broad stroke introduction to the future of replacing teeth, and is a perfect segue to Advanced Dental CE’s 2-day “Your First Implant” course.
Lunch & Learn 1 ceu "Documentation & Risk Management- Protecting your Assets" 1 ceu
Course Description: Dentists provide care in high-risk environments that make them targets in our legal system. Legal entanglements in healthcare are all but inevitable. All too often we see good doctors whose careers and lives have been ruined without just cause. This course will take attendees through two crucial cases, illustrating principles of general liability, medical malpractice, and state board procedures. Attendees will learn about corporate and legal structures, where they may be personally vulnerable, which legal entities can protect personal and business assets, and how to build professional license safeguards into their legal structures. Attendees will also learn how legal structuring opens the door to valuable tax benefits.
