What is the return on investment of this course?

For a sum of $1,800 invested in our zygomatic implants course, the returns are nothing short of transformative. Dive deep into the art of zygomatic implantology, and harness the expertise to cater to an underserved segment of patients. With 2021 systematic reviews revealing that between 12% and 46% of the edentulous population suffers from maxillary atrophy, there's a substantial patient base awaiting specialized care. Consider this: out of these patients, a significant 20% to 30% might necessitate zygomatic implants for full arch solutions. This translates to an estimated 2.4% to 13.8% of all full arch implant patients potentially seeking your advanced capabilities. By integrating these specialized skills, you not only stem the outflow of advanced cases from your practice but also tap into a burgeoning patient market. This course doesn't just offer a clinical advantage—it's a strategic decision to bolster your practice's revenue and reputation.
