Full Arch Immediate Load Hybrids is still one of the most profitable restorations to a lab. The skill and confidence to do them is difficult, but thanks to Dr. Brandon Kofford, the day of surgery is getting even easier. Two years ago, Dr. Kofford came on this podcast to talk about Smart Denture Conversion. The workflow to make a faster and better converted denture. Well after a lot of work and FDA planning, they are back as Smart on X and have introduced the Omibut, a new MUA that can be used at any angle. He also talks about improving the original version to make Smart Denture Conversion 2.0 and the use of prefabricated arches.

Let's be honest. There are a LOT of zirconia on the market these days. How do you know which is which? Is one better than another? Is there one that can handle every situation? Check out a FREE webinar from Ivoclar called Zirconia Unboxed with Jeff Smith, CDT.

"This introductory webinar is the first in a five-part series designed to address the most frequently asked questions by dental labs when selecting zirconia for their restorations. With a focus on practical guidance, this session explores the key considerations in choosing the right zirconia, including material properties, esthetics, and processing techniques.

This week brings us a Prosthodontist that developed a faster and better way to do a full arch immediate load conversion. Dr. Brandon Kofford started his career in the Air Force. After a long and successful service, Dr. Kofford went into private practice in North Carolina. As he started doing immediate load cases, he thought to himself that there has to be a better way. That lead him to develop the Smart Denture Conversions system. This new way will save you a ton of time and produce better immediate prosthesis. Dr. Kofford talks about his journey in dentistry, why he developed the Smart Denture Conversion system, how it works, and how it can make you a better chairside technician!
