What to Expect During the Course

You will encounter various kinds of dental implant cases and surgical procedures. All patients are preselected, screened, and evaluated in advance for each course participant. Our Dental Implant Live Patient Program is designed to help you master the essential foundations of Dental implant surgery, from incision and flap design to implant placement and suturing. With full hands-on training, you will be guided by our expert faculty through each critical step, ensuring you develop a comprehensive understanding of the skills required for successful implant restorations. Personalized instruction and ongoing evaluations by our expert instructors will ensure that you receive focused guidance on the areas where you need the most improvement.

The number and type of procedures you perform will depend on your skill level, surgical experience, the time required to successfully complete each procedure and your performance, as continually evaluated by the course instructors, during the course. Our expert faculty will continuously assess your performance, tailoring the learning experience to maximize your progress and build your confidence in performing dental implant surgeries effectively.

Every morning, on the days of live patient surgery, we have a short lecture and a meeting with all the doctors to review the treatment plan and medical history for the patients that you will be treating that day. In that moment, with the X-Rays in hand, we evaluate the cases and discuss the best treatment plan and approach for each patient.
