Inside The Photogrammetry Full-Arch Conversion Event With All County Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — New York & Long Island
TLDR
Advanced digital techniques, such as photogrammetry, are transforming the way full-arch implant restorations are performed. All County Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Straumann are hosting a complimentary 3-hour Continuing Education (CE) lecture to help dentists learn this advanced approach.

Full-arch implant restoration is one of the most technically demanding procedures in implant dentistry. Success often depends on both surgical skill and the accuracy of data captured at every stage.
For years, dentists have worked within the limitations of traditional methods, often facing some level of unpredictability. Today, digital tools such as photogrammetry and intraoral scanning are improving how dentists captureimplant positions and create restorations that fit better.
Understanding these digital workflows is becoming essential for predictable full-arch outcomes. In association with Straumann, our leading oral surgeon at All County Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in New York and on Long Island, Dr. Chavkin will deliver an educational event to help dentists build that expertise.
What's The Photogrammetry Full-Arch Conversion Event?
This continuing education lecture focuses on the use of photogrammetry in full-arch implant restorations and on intraoral scanning techniques to improve accuracy.
The event will take place on April 15, 2026, at Chris & Tony's, 352 Jericho Turnpike, Syosset, NY.
To attend, register in advance on SKILL, where you can create an account, book your course, and manage your CE credits. On the day of the event, on-site registration begins at 6:00 PM, followed by the program from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
What Can Attendees Expect?
During this 3-hour lecture, Dr. Chavkin will demonstrate how photogrammetry is used in implant dentistry through real-world workflows.
You'll learn how to:
Capture accurate preoperative records
Use photogrammetry and intraoral scanning to record implant positions
Design and place same-day or next-day temporary restorations
Transition from provisional to final prosthetic design
Who Is This Course Designed For?
This course is designed for general dentists interested in learning what photogrammetry is used for in full-arch implant cases. No prior experience is required.
What Is Photogrammetry in Implant Dentistry?
Photogrammetry is a technique that uses images from multiple angles to calculate precise 3D measurements.
In implant dentistry, it is used to capture the exact position and angle of implants in the jaw with a level of accuracy that traditional impressions—and even intraoral scanners—can struggle to achieve over longer spans.
How Accurate Is Photogrammetry for Full-Arch Restorations?
Research shows that photogrammetry can capture implant positions with accuracy within a few microns—making it significantly more precise than many traditional impression methods in full-arch cases.
How Does Photogrammetry Work Compared With Traditional Methods?
When comparing photogrammetry and 3D scanning, the key difference lies in accuracy for full-arch restorations.
Intraoral scanning and other traditional methods use 3D scanning to capture detailed images of teeth and soft tissues. However, these methods may not work as well in full-arch or multi-implant cases.
Photogrammetry, by contrast, records implant positions using fiducial markers, allowing for more consistent accuracy across longer spans.
Traditional methods may also introduce variables such as the following:
Material shrinkage or expansion
Distortion during removal
Errors during model fabrication
How Is Implant Position Captured Digitally?
Small coded markers, called scan bodies, are attached to the implants. A specialized camera captures images from multiple angles, and software uses this data to determine each implant's exact position.
An intraoral scanner is then used to capture the surrounding soft tissue and overall arch shape. Together, these datasets allow for accurate design and fabrication of the final restoration.
Why Does Digital Dentistry Matter For Patients Today?
Most patients care about fit, comfort, and durability, not how their restoration is made. Digital workflows, especially photogrammetry, help clinicians deliver on all three.
With more accurate data, dentists can produce better-fitting restorations, leading to fewer complications, fewer remakes, and more patients who leave satisfied.
For general dentists looking to improve full-arch outcomes, understanding these technologies is a valuable next step. To see how this approach works in practice, book your spot at the upcoming event.
