Non-Profit Research And Teaching Institute
Recognized as being one of the finest microsurgical training centers in the world, the Newport Coast Oral Facial Institute is a state-of-the-art working laboratory, designed by clinicians, for clinicians. Developed by Drs. Sheets and Paquette in 1997, the Institute was established as a result of the techniques and skills Drs. Sheets and Paquette developed in the field of microscopy in restorative dentistry. They discovered that working with enhanced magnification and illumination not only allows the clinician to maintain optimum posture, but also greatly enhances the ability to accurately assess and provide treatment that benefits the patient.
Desiring to eliminate this learning curve for their colleagues in the future, they joined efforts with industry leaders and clinicians and designed a facility and courses that provide participants with instruction on the latest procedures and techniques in a hands-on, stress-free environment utilizing the latest technological advances.
Class sizes are limited to enable each participant to gain invaluable knowledge and personal training from expert clinicians to master and implement these techniques. The Newport Coast Oral Facial Institute has a world-class faculty of clinicians who generously donate their time and expertise and are considered leaders in their respective areas of study.
