2. Module 2: Locator Dentures and Denture/Hybrid Maintenance

Whether you have an existing denture to add implant support to or a hybrid/locator denture that needs maintenance, this course will review what the billing codes are and how to use them as well and what to expect from insurance.

3. Module 3: Hybrid Denture Fabrication Coding

One of the most complex procedures in dentistry is the hybrid denture or prosthetic but can also be life-changing for a patient.
