"The goal of the FACE program is to arm the quality dentist with the knowledge, techniques, and philosophy necessary to prosper and experience true fulfillment through the practice of state of the art dentistry." |
"The FACE program offers an opportunity for the quality oriented dentist to learn skills that are too advanced to be included in a regular dental school curriculum. These skills are an absolute imperative for the practitioner who wants to offer true comprehensive care to his patients." |
