Objectives

To expand the scope of implant procedures you can perform and gain rock solid confidence in managing complex cases, so you can treat the vast majority of implant patients in-house. This includes solidifying your skills with hands-on practice. 

Description

This advanced series is for implant providers who want to take their knowledge, skills, and scope of procedures offered up to an elite level.  

You’ll learn how to replicate predictable results with the many different, unique cases you will encounter.  

This series is the perfect balance of comprehensive learning for the wide range of knowledge you need while also being streamlined into an concise step-by-step sequence that gets you to your goals quickly and easily.  

We’ll dive deep into bone grafting, ridge spreading and splitting, soft-tissue grafting, PRF, restoring multi-unit and full-arch prosthetics, lateral and crestal sinus lifts, and much more. Then, we’ll practice each of the key techniques and procedures to make sure you’re ready to use them with confidence in your office.  

This series consists of three 3-day courses, each with a hands-on element.

You should attend this series if:  

  • You have already placed at least 15-20 implants 

  • You want to take on more complex cases 

  • You’re still referring out a large percentage of implant cases 

  • You occasionally struggle with unexpected complications 

  • You are sometimes unsure of which technique or procedure to use for best results 

  • You want to see more predictable results with soft tissue and/or hard tissue management 

If you are brand new to placing implants, please start with the Level 1 course.  

What Makes This Course Unique

Becoming a truly well-rounded implant clinician 

It can be highly frustrating to learn exciting new skills skills only to find yourself unprepared to actually apply them on real-world cases. Many educators out there focus heavily on bone grafting…or just soft-tissue grafting…or just full-arch prosthetics to the exclusion of other vitally important topics.  

But each case is unique and treating real patients requires you to understand different philosophies, manage all the interrelated aspects of the case, and be able roll with the punches while performing treatment.  

This series isn’t just a few specialized topics. It is a continuum that takes you from A to Z so you have the full breadth of knowledge to confident treat the vast majority of implant cases.  

Simplifying your educational journey 

This course goes step-by-step with a comprehensive approach. Instead of trying to mix and match separate niche courses, this series is the “whole package” of knowledge you’ll need to manifest clinical excellence on the basics of implant dentistry. You won’t need to piece it all together on your own or try to figure out where you may have gaps in your knowledge.  

Translating knowledge into real world success 

Our instructors have a depth and wealth of experience clinically, as well as real-life application with productively incorporating these procedures into their practices. Dr. Moussa is one of the preeminent instructors and innovators in the nation on implant therapy, and he maintains a full-time practice focused exclusively on periodontal surgery and implant rehabilitation. Dr. Philomin has placed over 10,000 implants in his career and his office produces nearly $10 million per year out of just 4 chairs.  

So, you’ll be learning from extremely experienced clinicians who have dealt with every type of case and complication you can imagine and understand the keys to making it a true practice builder.    

Tired of unexpected complications? Still referring out too many cases?

Expand your knowledge and skillset to manage complex implant cases with confidence!

Hear from past attendees of DDS Clinical Training courses

There are a ton of patients coming in! Every week, I have several arches that I prep and I’m very efficient at it because of what the class taught us. They made it very simple to learn and apply right away.

My staff thinks I’m a genius and my patients think “Oh wow, my life is changed!”
