🦷 Advancing Implant Dentistry Through Hands-On Education

There’s always something exciting happening behind the scenes at the Center for Family and Implant Dentistry!

Last weekend, Dr. Andrew MacConnell and our team welcomed another group of dental professionals to DDCOI — Digitally Driven Comprehensive Oral Implantology for two days of advanced, hands-on implant education.

Participants had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. MacConnell during a variety of surgical and restorative procedures, including an upper All-on-X case, single implant placements, implant-supported crown deliveries, and final zirconia restorations.

We are proud to be part of an educational program that allows dental professionals to expand their knowledge and clinical experience while learning in a real-world practice environment.

A smile can change everything. ❤️

This patient came to Dr. MacConnell ready for a new chapter, and the results speak for themselves! Dr. MacConnell performed a full-mouth transformation with upper and lower All-on-X dental implants, restoring both function and a beautiful, confident smile.

All-on-X treatment can provide patients with a fixed, full-arch solution designed to look, feel, and function more like natural teeth.

Seeing our patients smile confidently again is one of the best parts of what we do. 🦷✨

✨ A smile transformation that speaks for itself. ✨

This incredible before & after showcases the life-changing difference an All-on-X full-arch restoration can make. 🦷

All-on-X treatment is designed to replace an entire arch of failing or missing teeth with a fixed, implant-supported smile—restoring not only appearance, but also function and confidence.

From compromised teeth to a beautiful, functional new smile, transformations like this are why we love what we do. ❤️

From "I can't" to "I can." 🙌

This transformation is about so much more than dental implants—it's about getting life back.

Using advanced zygomatic and pterygoid implants, Dr. MacConnell was able to provide a solution for a patient who previously struggled with severe tooth loss and limited treatment options. Today, they're enjoying the confidence of a secure, fixed smile and eating the foods they once had to give up.

No slipping dentures. No worrying about every meal. Just the freedom to smile, laugh, and live with confidence again.

At the Center for Family and Implant Dentistry, we're passionate about giving patients a second chance at living life without limitations.

📞 If you've been told you're not a candidate for traditional dental implants or you're tired of loose dentures, we'd love to discuss your options.

Your smile can change your life—and it's never too late to take the first step. ✨

Hosted by Dr. Andrew MacConnell through Digitally Driven Comprehensive Oral Implantology (DDCOI), this anatomy and implant course—presented in collaboration with Lincoln Memorial University—provided clinicians with an immersive educational experience designed to strengthen both anatomical understanding and surgical confidence.

From expert-led lectures to hands-on anatomical training, participants had the opportunity to refine their skills, expand their clinical knowledge, and learn alongside peers who share a passion for excellence in implant dentistry.

At DDCOI, we're committed to creating educational experiences that empower clinicians to grow, innovate, and ultimately provide the highest level of care to their patients.

A sincere thank you to our faculty, the team at Lincoln Memorial University, and every clinician who joined us in making this course such a success.
