Who Should Attend?
Are you ready to elevate your skills in dental implantology? Whether you’re a recent graduate or a practicing dentist looking to refine your expertise, our courses are designed to provide hands-on training that builds confidence and proficiency.
✅ New Dental Graduates (1-5 Years Out) – If you’re looking for a comprehensive beginner’s course that bridges the gap between dental school and real-world implant placement, this is for you.
✅ Limited Experience with Implants – Have you placed a few single implants but haven’t tackled immediate placements? Maybe you’ve restored small bridges or overdentures but want more practical experience.
✅ Seasoned Beginners – If you’ve placed up to 50 implants but want to refine your technique and expand your case selection, our structured training will take you to the next level.
✅ Attended Didactic-Only Courses – Have you taken a course that was all theory with little or no hands-on implant placement? Gain real surgical experience in a supportive, mentor-led environment.
✅ Aspiring Full-Mouth Reconstruction Experts – Do you want a clear roadmap to mastering full-mouth rehabilitation—including managing complex occlusion cases and confidently placing implants—without committing to an oral surgery, perio, or prosthodontic residency?
If you answered YES, our Level 1 Course (Core 1 – Core 3) is the best place to start. Our structured training ensures you stay on track, retain knowledge, and build momentum. We’ve found that dentists who commit to a scheduled training plan progress faster and gain more confidence than those who attend sporadically.
Join us and gain the hands-on experience you need to advance your implant practice with confidence.
