The Modern Implant Practice: Improving Predictability and Precision with Advanced Technology
Presented by: Dr. Sean Pierce, DDS.
When: Thursday, September 10 2026, 8:00PM EST / 5PM PDT.
Duration: 60 minutes.
Implant dentistry continues to evolve through advances in treatment planning, implant design, digital technology, and restorative workflows. These developments provide clinicians with new opportunities to improve predictability, efficiency, and patient outcomes across a broad range of implant indications.
In this engaging one-hour webinar, Dr. Sean Pierce will share his clinical experience integrating implant dentistry and advanced technology into a modern general practice. Through clinical case presentations and practical discussion, he will explore important considerations in case selection, surgical and restorative planning, immediate implant placement, digital workflows, guided surgery, and robotic-assisted implant placement.
Participants will gain insight into how implant design—including implant body geometry, connection design, and restorative compatibility—can influence primary stability, three-dimensional positioning, tissue management, and the restorative workflow. Using clinical cases involving the Nuventus implant system, Dr. Pierce will illustrate how these principles may be applied in both extraction and healed sites.
The program will also examine clinical decision-making for common implant indications, including single-tooth replacement, immediate placement, and more advanced restorative situations. Dr. Pierce will discuss how digital planning and robotic guidance can support precise implant positioning, provide real-time intraoperative guidance, and help translate the treatment plan into clinical execution while complementing the clinician’s judgment and experience.
Whether clinicians are beginning to incorporate implant dentistry or looking to refine their existing workflows, this webinar will provide practical strategies and clinical insights for combining sound treatment planning, implant design, and advanced technology to improve predictability and enhance patient care.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand how implant body geometry, connection design, tissue considerations, and restorative compatibility can influence clinical and restorative outcomes.
- Describe how the design principles incorporated into the Nuventus implant system may support primary stability, implant positioning, tissue management, and restorative flexibility.
- Apply fundamental treatment-planning principles to single-tooth, immediate-placement, healed-site, and other commonly encountered implant cases.
- Recognize the respective roles of digital planning, conventional guided surgery, and robotic-assisted guidance in implant placement.
- Explain how robotic-assisted technology can provide real-time guidance and support accurate execution of the digital treatment plan.
- Identify appropriate case-selection criteria and recognize when interdisciplinary collaboration or referral may contribute to an optimal patient outcome.
- Develop efficient surgical, restorative, and laboratory workflows for incorporating implant dentistry into clinical practice.
Dr. Pierce earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Marquette University, graduating magna cum laude. He then completed a one-year postgraduate training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the UCLA School of Dentistry.
