Nassau, Bahamas-based Paradise Dental Institute formally launches this July with a live-surgery implant training course followed by a working conference. The working conference, “Summers in Paradise,” which the institute intends to hold annually, will be from July 30 to Aug. 1 at the Atlantis Resort and Casino.

Themed “Navigating the Past, Sailing to the Future,” the conference will explore the exciting but challenging world of implant dentistry. The institute will feature its faculty members as speakers (“captains”) and also have guest speakers, with sessions ranging from an introduction to single-tooth implants to full-mouth reconstruction surgery and prosthetics.

The speakers will navigate traditional, sound surgical practices of the past and sail to guided treatment planning and surgery, which are both the present and future of dentistry.

The three-day working conference will help dentists improve their ability to diagnose, treatment plan, perform surgery, manage post-surgery needs (including potential complications) and deliver a final prosthesis. The interactive sessions will provide dental professionals — whether new or experienced with implant dentistry — with a deeper understanding of the “when, why and how.”

Following is the conference schedule:

July 30: “Introduction to Implants and Soft-Tissue Grafting” with speakers Dr. Rick Ferguson and Dr. Avi Schetritt.
July 31: “Predictable Impression Taking and Temporization” with speaker Dr. Stace Lind.
July 31, 6–9 p.m.: “Official Launch Party” (all-white attire on the beach).
Aug. 1: “Guided and Non-Guided Full-Mouth Reconstruction — Implant-Supported Zirconia Bridge Surgery and Prosthetic Parameters for Success” with speaker Dr. Michael Tischler and “Maxillary Arch Regenerative Strategies — Single-Tooth to Full-Arch Reconstruction” with speaker Dr. Michael Pikos.

Each day will include continental breakfast from 7–8 a.m. Lectures will be from 8 a.m.–1 p.m., with breaks in between. Lunch and exhibit-only hours will be from 1–3 p.m., with a live calypso band, local and American cuisine and a happy hour with the exhibitors. After 3 p.m., guests can continue with happy hour or explore Atlantis. Friday night is the official launch with an all-white-attire beach party and cultural entertainment.

Bringing families is encouraged. Atlantis has something for everyone, and the group rate ($226 per night, including spouses and children) is available three days before and after the conference.

The institute and the summer conference are the brainchild of founder and CEO dental technician Indira Darling and co-founder and clinical director Dr. Derwin Munroe. The pair, both Bahamian-born and American-trained, will combine their love of dentistry and their beautiful country to provide a comprehensive implant-training program with the philosophy, “No man is an island.”

The institute will provide dentists and all team members with the surgical, theoretical, clinical and business skills needed to build a successful implant practice. The faculty comprises oral surgeons, American Board of Oral Implantology-certified dentists, hygienists, lab technicians, surgical assistants and office managers. The faculty will provide continued mentoring and support to dental teams as they begin or advance in implant dentistry. You can learn more by calling (844) 229-7192.
