What Makes This Course Unique
Simplifying your educational journey
There are many courses out there on niche topics relating to implant dentistry. This can be great for expanding your knowledge or filling in specific gaps—but it also makes it confusing and difficult to chart a clear path to achieve your educational goals.
This course goes step-by-step with a comprehensive approach, it’s 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.
Minimizing complications
Many beginner implant courses focus on the implant placement itself, but skimp on the areas where most complications and difficulties arise, such as preserving the site after extraction, compromised sockets, soft tissue and hard tissue management, grafting, suturing, sinus lifts, etc.
Discovering too late that a case isn’t as simple as you’d anticipated can be a real confidence killer—not what you want early in your implant placement career!
This course rounds out your skillset so you’re able to actually perform cases with confidence and understand your capabilities so you don’t accidentally open yourself up to potential complications and liabilities.
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 9 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.

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!”
