Local prosthodontist Dr. Krikor Derbabian recently presented new procedures during the 69 th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry, one of the nation's most prestigious dental organizations.
Prosthodontists are dentists who specialize in the restoration and replacement of teeth.
The meeting, held in Chicago, IL, offers dentists to attend educational seminars on the latest techniques and materials used in dentistry. Dentists from all over the world attend this important event. Dr. Derbabian, whose dental practice is located in Burbank, presented new methods in smile enhancement procedures. Prosthodontists complete three years of formal training beyond the four-year dental degree in an accredited American Dental Association prosthodontic graduate program. In addition to his dental practice, Dr. Derbabian is an Associate Clinical Professor at the USC School of Dentistry, where he teaches prosthetics and implants.
