Filler Training Courses

Dentists possess a deep understanding of facial anatomy, making them well-suited to administer facial fillers safely and effectively. By adding filler training to their skill set, dentists can expand their scope of practice, offering patients comprehensive facial aesthetic treatments that complement their expertise in dental procedures. Discover course dates & details below:

 

Depending on your patient’s needs, the amount of filler required for treatment can vary.  To add to this variability, the type of filler required to treat your patient appropriately can also be quite different.  Filler comes in 1 milliliter applicator syringes supplied with the injection needle.  In general, 2 syringes can typically cover a patient.  The ACTA training course will allow you to choose the viscosity of the syringe at the course.  If your patient or patients require more, you will have access to purchase more product to appropriately complete each clinical case. 

 

 

Integrating filler treatments into your practice can provide a lucrative revenue stream, enhancing your practice’s financial viability. Furthermore, offering facial fillers can attract new patients seeking non-surgical cosmetic enhancements, thereby broadening the dentist’s patient base and increasing practice visibility. Ultimately, investing in filler training empowers dentists to meet the evolving demands of modern cosmetic dentistry while providing patients with a holistic approach to facial aesthetics and wellness. 

 

Each filler course teaches the trainee to apply filler to the Lips, Nasolabial Folds, Cheeks, Jaw Line, Parentheses Lines, Marionette Lines, Forehead Lines and correction of Gummy Smile.  The course teaches application of Hyaluronic Acid (Juvederm, Restylane, ect.) as it has become an industry standard and is forgivable, reversible, and has several variations of viscosity to match the anatomic region it will be placed.

Their Face is Your Future

Dentists already provide healthy and beautiful smiles, it’s time to consider adding the aesthetic realm to your scope of practice.  After all, Dentists are more familiar with the facial regions than any other healthcare provider.  Integrating Facial Aesthetics into you practice will boost your bottom line and enhance the work environment.  

Our instructors have decades of teaching and clinical experience and will give you a full understanding of placement techniques, patient prescreening, and anatomical aesthetics. Results yield a more youthful look and compliment any aesthetic dentistry case presented to you. Botox, Filler, and PRP require little time procedurally but yield a high net profit.  

Filler is a hyaluronic acid frequently used to smooth wrinkles of the face, in the areas of nasolabial folds, lips, oral commissures and marionette lines. It can also be used in dentistry to address uneven lips, improve peri-oral aesthetics and high lip line cases.  $800-$1500 private pay can be generated in as little as 30 minutes with very minor risk.

Why should a dentist take the ACTA all inclusive Filler course by adding Botox & PRP Certification training?

Filler injections can significantly enhance the economic value of a dental practice in several ways. Firstly, by offering filler treatments, dentists can diversify their service offerings, attracting new clientele interested in non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This expansion of services can lead to increased patient traffic and revenue generation. Moreover, filler treatments often have high profit margins, making them financially lucrative for dental practices. Additionally, incorporating facial fillers into the practice can foster patient loyalty and retention as existing clients may choose to undergo additional cosmetic procedures within a familiar and trusted environment. Furthermore, by leveraging their existing infrastructure and patient base, dentists can minimize overhead costs associated with introducing new services. Overall, filler injections represent a valuable opportunity for dental practices to capitalize on the growing demand for cosmetic enhancements while bolstering their bottom line.

 

Dentists should consider offering filler injections, Botox, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments so they can meet the increasing demand for comprehensive facial aesthetic treatments. With their deep understanding of injection techniques, dentists are uniquely positioned to deliver safe and effective filler and Botox injections, providing patients with natural-looking results. Moreover, incorporating PRP treatments into their practice can complement dental procedures by promoting tissue regeneration and accelerating healing following oral surgeries or dental implants. Offering these services not only enhances patient satisfaction but also attracts new clientele seeking non-surgical cosmetic enhancements. Additionally, providing filler, Botox, and PRP treatments can diversify a dental practice’s revenue streams, increasing financial stability and profitability. By embracing these complementary procedures, dentists can establish themselves as trusted providers of comprehensive facial rejuvenation services, ultimately fostering patient loyalty and practice growth.
