FAQs
I have heard that Guatamala is dangerous. We have been to Guatemala over 35 times since 2012. The locations we go to are “Tourist” areas and are as safe as your hometown. We do take normal precautions such as travel in groups and stay in nice hotels. Our sponsor stated, “The last people the Guatemalans want to cause trouble for are the Americans and Canadians.”
Is the food and water safe to consume? We stay in nice hotels that prepare the food to the same standards that you expect in your hometown. We recommend that you only drink water from a source that is known to be purified and bottled water is readily available.
How many implants will I place? This course is designed to make the doctor competent in the implant process not add up the implants that you place. We know that a doctor that jams in 20 or 30 implants without understanding the process is anything but competent. You will treat the patients as if they were in your own office. You will also have 5 implants to place after each class on your actual patients in your office. No one else does that.
How many root canals will I perform? Typically, you will treat 2 patients each day and assist on two patients each day. Probably a better question to ask is will you have the skills to return to your office and be more successful?
How many thirds will I extract? I am asked this question often and the answer is I don’t know. Wouldn’t a better question be will I gain the skills and confidence to extract third molars that are within my particular skill set more predictably? More importantly will I gain the diagnostic skills to know when a case is beyond my ability?
What does the course cost cover? Either 6 or 8 Nights of Hotel Accommodations, depending on your course length. Your stay starts the night before the course start date, and ends the day AFTER the course ends. Meals at the hotel and clinic (Dinner and Alcohol not included) Transportation to and from the clinic Transportation to and from the airport (5) Implants upon returning home (Implant course only) Unlimited instructor consults
Do I have to bring any equipment or materials to the class? All of the equipment and expendables are provided. Each doctor should bring their own scrubs. If you normally wear loops and lights you should bring them. If you have special PPE requirements, consult the teaching team.
