Excellence in Implant Dentistry: UB Implant Study Club

Dental study clubs provide a major opportunity for dentists to meet with other dentists and dental team members and to learn in a friendly, non-threatening environment. They afford members the opportunity to increase their knowledge of and clinical skills in using new concepts, materials, techniques and devices. Our goal is to help the general dentist increase their performance and confidence in the surgical and prosthetic components of implant dentistry.

We meet six+ times a year, usually on Thursdays, beginning at 6pm, at UB Dental School. Snacks and beverages are provided. 

Study club co-directors, Drs. Seb Andreana and Mike Hatton, encourage you to bring your questions and cases for review.

Annual membership fee for the first year was $995, we will award at least 24 credit hours (incl. prep time for bringing cases for peer & faculty review & discussion), also a few 'bonus' meetings will become available as the year progresses.
