Valley Institute For Advanced Dental Education (VIADE)

Mission Statement

To promote the highest quality dentistry, showing comprehensive treatment planning, through continuing education and group interaction.

About the Institute

The Institute was founded in 1998 by Dr. Popowich and Dr. Grim to provide continuing education for area dentists and to provide a forum to advance both educational and clinical skills in implant dentistry.

National and internationally known leaders in the field of dentistry are brought to the area to educate the group of dentists who are committed to excellence in dentistry.

The emphasis of the education is on comprehensive treatment planning and focusing on complex restorative and implant cases.

A yearly program consists of several daylong programs as well as several evening sessions all dedicated to the latest techniques available. A sample program is listed below for your review.

The Institute is directly associated with the Seattle Study Club which is an internationally known organization also committed to continuing education.

Continuing education credits are provided to participating dentists, which is a requirement to maintain licensure in the State of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Popowich and Dr. Grim always welcome new doctors to become involved with the Institute. Any professional who is interested should call Amy Lalik at 610.437.1727 or email: lmvos22@msn.com.
