We strongly believe in continual professional development or CPD for short. The developments in dentistry are moving at a rapid rate and it is vital to keep up to date with the these advancements. On Friday, Dr Nissit Patel and Paula Ryan will be attending a core CPD meeting in Kensington. This will address important issues such as oral cancer, dental radiology, medical emergencies, decontamination and cross infection. As a practice, we are committed to being at the forefront of dental care. We undertake hundreds of hours of CPD per year, above and beyond the minimum requirements.

We strongly believe in life long learning with continual education. Recently the practice has completed a course on adult and paediatric life support and medical emergencies. This is consider a core subject and is undertaken on a yearly basis. Dr Nissit Patel has also just completed an IR(ME)R course in dental radiography and radiation protection- justification, optimisation and limitation. This was a full day course with Eric Waites as the speaker, a well renowned expert in the field.

In November, Dr Patel attended the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Conference in Florida. This was a comprehensive programme on modern dental implant dentistry focusing on digital dentistry. This is the future of dental implant treatments as well the majority of advanced dentistry. There has never been a better time to replace missing teeth with dental implants.

So, if you would like a dental practice that is fully up to date with the latest procedures, techniques, materials and technology that is evidence based, Progressive Dentistry is for you.
