Fellow, Academy of General Dentistry
In Virginia we have 6,500 dentist, of which 200 of us are Fellows of The Academy of General Dentistry.
What does that mean for you and your family?
Earning Fellowship takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows. When you see a dentist with FAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Fellows practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year — not every dentist does this.
To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must:
- Complete over 500 credit hours of CE.
- Earn 350 of those 500 credits in live courses.
- Pass an exam equal in difficulty to board certification exams.
Dental implant case of the day
This nice lady had a broken off tooth that we replaced with a dental implant.
Dental Symposium
I enjoyed spending last weekend with the world’s experts in dentistry, discussing the latest technologies, highest quality patient care, and advanced research in artificial intelligence.
Dental Implant Case of The Day
This patient presented with a broken off upper bicuspid tooth. The tooth was non-restorable, so we extracted the remaining root and placed a dental implant.
Digital Dentistry
I scan digital impressions of teeth, computer design the crowns, create an STL file, and 3D print out porcelain/zirconia crowns with a CAD-CAM milling machine, that fit perfectly and look beautiful.
Bridge case of the day
This patient presented with a broken 25 year old bridge replacing a missing front tooth. I re-prepped the teeth, digitally scanned the impression, computer designed a new bridge, 3D printed it out and cemented it in. Totally awesome!!!
Dental implant case of the day
This patient presented with a broken off upper right canine tooth. We extracted the remaining tooth root, placed an immediate titanium implant and restored with a zirconium abutment and porcelain crown. Very nice lady, fun case with beautiful results :-)))
