An in-depth, two-part series of courses at our facility in Fairfield, Connecticut, Sonick Seminars introduces surgical planning and techniques to both the novice and veteran dentist.
Featuring live surgeries, hands-on sessions as well as lectures, Sonick Seminars is one of the most clinically-based and realistic programs in the country.
Our offerings include:
- Implant and Periodontal Plastic Surgery in the Esthetic Zone
- Anterior implants
- Grafting around implants
- Esthetic crown lengthening

- Bone Regeneration for Ideal Implant Placement
- Socket preservation
- Ridge augmentation for implants
- Sinus lifts
Each two-day module provides 20 continuing education credits and focuses on different aspects of surgery, covering:
- Diagnosis
- Treatment planning
- Restorative options
- Surgical methods
- Clinical particulars (e.g., kits, set-up, techniques)
- Marketing
- New innovations (e.g., piezoelectric surgery, growth factor use)

Live Surgery, Lecture and Hands-On Clinic
May 1-2, 2008
We live in a culture that judges its members by appearances. To us, a smile echoes health, wealth, demeanor and worth. Any departure from the ideal -missing front teeth or altered gingival contours especially-devalues a person.
This course trains you to perfect the dentition with periodontal plastic surgery and to restore anterior edentulous areas with implants indistinguishable from natural teeth. We provide a step-by-step tutorial that enables you to diagnose, design and refine soft tissue and implant cosmetics for your own patients. Live surgery and a hands-on practicum shall cement your knowledge. In particular, we will showcase the newest as well as most predictable grafting methods known to attain a harmonious smile.
What you’ll learn
- Constituents of an ideal smile
- Smile design
- Implant esthetics and surgical techniques
- Optimal dimensions
- Socket preservation versus immediate implantation
- Guide fabrication
- Ideal provisionalization
- Papilla regeneration
- Gingival esthetics and surgical techniques
- Soft tissue augmentation
- Autografts: Connective tissue, free gingival, reconstructive flaps
- Allograft: Acellular dermal matrix (AlloDerm®), fibroblast-derived dermal substitute
- Guided tissue regeneration: membranes
- Esthetic crown lengthening
- Two-stage technique
- New biologically active enhancers
- Enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain®)
- Platelet-derived growth factor (Gem 21S®)
- Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF)

Bone Regeneration for Ideal Implant Placement
Continuing education credits: 20
In modern implant dentistry, mere osseointegration is not enough. We tolerate no less than perfection. Thus the position that creates the most beautiful and functional prosthesis dictates the location of the implant, not the ridge morphology. Today, we simply grow bone where we desire it.
Through live surgery, a hands-on clinic and lecture, we will train you to augment hard tissue. Dr. Stephen Wallace, the world authority on sinus lifting, will present to you the most up-to-date protocol on the subject as well as operate in-house. Notably, we will introduce a breakthrough technology for bone harvesting, piezoelectric instrumentation, which allows for collection without damage to any soft tissue structures.
What you’ll learn
- When to bone graft
- Treatment sequencing
- Graft options
- Onlay graft
- Guided bone regeneration
- Ridge expansion
- Sinus elevation
- Best materials to use
- Particulate or block graft
- Auto-, allo-, xeno-grafts or synthetics
- Absorbable or non-absorbable membranes
- State-of-the-art surgical technology
- Management of complications and failures
