Advanced Training

Dr. Massad and his faculty are now delivering the latest techniques and procedures in prosthodontics to you and your staff. Several options are available in either one or two day packages to better satisfy the individual needs of each participant. Whether you choose the one day or more comprehensive two day course, you’ll quickly understand that this is not a typical classroom - it is a fully immersive experience into modern prosthodontics. Each section begins with a brief review of techniques from Dr. Massad’s lecture material with open discussion, followed by a step by step clinical demonstration with patients. Then it’s time for you to actively participate, performing the techniques yourself with over the shoulder instruction. It is truly a hands-on experience.

One on One Courses

At our facility, we can arrange a customized individual one or two day course tailored to your specific needs. We can provide for you a local patient in need, or you may opt to bring your own patient. We also allow for you to bring one or more of your staff members for a small additional fee per person.

Participants are responsible for total airfare, hotel, transportation (a shuttle service may be available from select hotels), evening meals, and incidentals. And don’t forget your clinical jacket.

Discount hotel rates are being offered to course participants through various Tulsa hotels. Please contact us for us details.

Class begins at 8:00 a.m. with sessions totaling between 8-10 hours per day.


On Site Course

In some cases, it may be more appropriate for us to come to your practice and provide training at your facility. We will tailor the training to the specific needs of you and your chosen patient. Participants are responsible for total airfare, hotel, and transportation to and from your facility for a faculty instructor and lab technician.

For more information you may contact us anytime.
