Biolase has opened a technology and training center at its corporate headquarters in Irvine, CA.
The facility has a hands-on lab featuring the company's Waterlase dental laser technology, Epic line of diode lasers, and 3D digital imaging, including NewTom cone-beam 3D imaging and Biolase DaVinci imaging products.
The training center will provide introductory and specialized training sessions for dental professionals seeking proficiency and certification training. The facility will also be used to train and clinically educate the company's sales team.
The training courses will follow the teaching method of "Tell, Show, Do and Teach Each Other," employing a combination of lecture and hands-on instruction with extracted teeth and proxy dental models. Factory tours also will be provided to allow dental professionals a look into the development and manufacturing of Biolase products.
Courses to be offered in the new training center include Waterlase and diode laser certification training, refresher classes, and master specialty courses in endodontics, periodontics, and pediatric dentistry. A full range of 3D imaging courses also are in development.
