Another Tomo/Pan Installation with Training

Sold, Installed, and Trained on yet another Tomo/Pan machine. I had to take apart a previous pan-only unit which weighed a ton! Got the new unit in and completely trained. I had 8 staff to train which takes quite a bit of patience. I prefer to only train 3 to 4 staff and the Doc of course. The radiographic interpretation went well as the Doc was fully versed and the staff knew their anatomy.

Dr. Leo Malin graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 1991. Early in his career he discovered that the implant techniques currently in use could not deliver a standard, predictable result. Therefore, with the help of other experts in the field of radiology and occlusion, Dr. Malin developed an implant technique which focuses on occlusion and cosmetics for implant placement and crown restoration. This technique has been so successful there are currently 4 patents pending!
In addition to practicing at the Sparta Dental Center Dr. Malin is also the Implant Director at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies. He lectures throughout North America on Full Mouth Reconstruction and Advanced Dental Implant placement and technique. Dr. Malin has also established an implant clinic located in the same building as Sparta Dental lCenter.
