How do I obtain my CE credit letter?
You must sign in at the registration desk before the course begins and remain present for the full duration of the course. Additional details will be provided at the event.
Are your courses PACE accredited?
Yes. Smoler Smiles CE Services is designated as an Approved PACE Program Provider by the Academy of General Dentistry. Our continuing education programs are accepted by the AGD for Fellowship, Mastership, and membership maintenance credit. You will receive a CE credit letter upon successful completion of any course.
Who are these courses designed for?
Our courses are designed for general practitioners, specialists, and dental team members at every stage of their implant journey. Whether you are exploring implant dentistry for the first time or looking to expand your surgical and restorative capabilities, there is a course series designed for your level and goals.
Do I need prior implant experience to attend?
It depends on the course. Series 101 - Introduction to Implant Dentistry requires no prior implant placement knowledge and is the ideal starting point for those new to the discipline. Series 102 through 303 build progressively on foundational knowledge. If you are unsure which course is right for you, contact our office at (734) 728-5600 or drbruce@smolersmiles.com and we will help you find the right fit.
