Live Dental CE Opportunities This Week

Here are the live dental CE webinars happening July 20–26, 2026.

From CBCT to Chairside: Real-World Implant Planning, Guides, and Logistics

Date: Monday, July 20, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Nagao
Sponsor: Carestream Dental

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has transformed modern implant dentistry by allowing clinicians to visualize anatomy, evaluate risk, and plan implant placement with greater precision. When combined with digital planning software and guided surgery, CBCT can help create more predictable, restorative-driven treatment workflows.

This live dental CE webinar explores how CBCT is incorporated into every stage of implant treatment, from diagnosis and case selection to virtual implant planning and guided placement. Dr. Joshua Nagao will demonstrate a complete "scan-to-plan" workflow, including opening implant planning software, reviewing CBCT scans, virtually placing implants, and identifying important anatomical landmarks and safety zones.

The course also examines guided implant workflows, helping clinicians understand when guided surgery may be preferred over freehand placement and how surgical guides are designed and fabricated. Participants will gain practical insight into guide production, whether completed in-house or through a dental laboratory or third-party provider.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how CBCT technology supports safer implant planning, more accurate implant positioning, and efficient digital workflows.

What you'll learn:

• How to incorporate CBCT into the implant planning workflow
• The role of cone beam imaging in diagnosis and case selection
• How to evaluate anatomy and identify critical safety zones
• Restorative-driven principles for virtual implant positioning
• A step-by-step scan-to-plan digital workflow
• How implant planning software supports guided treatment
• When to choose guided implant placement versus freehand surgery
• Fundamentals of surgical guide design
• Options for in-house and laboratory guide fabrication
• Strategies for reducing risk and improving implant predictability

This course is ideal for dentists, implant clinicians, oral surgeons, restorative dentists, and dental teams interested in CBCT imaging, implant planning, guided surgery, digital dentistry, and implant workflows.

And the Answer Is…It Depends! Answers to Your Questions About Dental Implant Maintenance

Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU
Presenter: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS
Sponsor: VOCO America

As dental implants become increasingly common, clinicians must stay current on evolving recommendations for implant maintenance and long-term care. Differences in clinical opinions and emerging evidence can make it challenging to determine the most appropriate maintenance protocols for individual patients.

This live dental CE webinar addresses many of the questions dental hygienists and clinicians encounter when caring for patients with dental implants. Drawing on feedback collected from more than 600 dental hygienists, Lynn Pencek will discuss evidence-based approaches to implant maintenance while providing practical guidance for improving patient outcomes.

The course explores individualized recare protocols, implant probing considerations, instrumentation techniques, referral guidelines, and treatment options for compromised implants. Participants will also review the American College of Prosthodontists' Position Statement for Full-Arch Implant-Supported Prosthetic Maintenance and discuss how current recommendations can be applied in everyday clinical practice.

Attendees will leave with greater confidence in evaluating implant patients and developing maintenance protocols that support long-term implant health.

What you'll learn:

• How to customize implant recare protocols based on patient risk factors
• Current recommendations for implant probing
• Evidence-based instrumentation techniques for implant maintenance
• Clinical indicators that warrant referral to an implant specialist
• Treatment options for compromised dental implants
• Best practices for long-term implant maintenance
• How to interpret the American College of Prosthodontists' Position Statement for Full-Arch Implant-Supported Prosthetic Maintenance
• Practical strategies for improving implant maintenance appointments
• Common questions surrounding implant care and current evidence
• Techniques for supporting long-term implant success

This course is ideal for dental hygienists, dentists, implant clinicians, periodontists, and dental teams interested in implant maintenance, preventive care, peri-implant health, evidence-based hygiene protocols, and long-term implant success.
