What You'll Learn & Do
Join Dr. Jonathan Tsang for a small-group pilot program focused on the practical fundamentals of incorporating 3D printing into a dental practice.
​
This course is designed to take participants through the complete workflow—from understanding printers and resins to preparing digital files, printing, post-processing and finishing completed dental models and occlusal appliances.
Unlike a lecture-only introduction, participants will work through the process on the computer and then print, process and finish restoratively relevant items themselves.
Meet Your Course Instructor, Dr. Jonathan Tsang
Dr. Jonathan Tsang attended the University of British Columbia where he studied mathematics before heading to Philadelphia to study at Temple University School of Dentistry. Upon graduating, Dr. Tsang returned to his home town of Abbotsford to open his dental practice .
​​
Dr. Tsang is Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/ Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID), a designation shared by fewer than 50 dentists in all of Canada. Certification by the ABOI/ID attests to the fact that Dr. Tsang has demonstrated knowledge, ability, and proficiency in implant dentistry through a rigorous examination process.
