Below are common questions dentists ask about the live patient implant course.
How many implants will I place during the 4-day course?
+
The number of implants placed varies based on patient anatomy and case selection. Most participants place approximately 20–30 implants over the four days.
You will treat multiple patients with varying clinical scenarios, including differences in bone density, implant positioning, immediate placement opportunities, and soft tissue management. This exposure builds clinical judgment—not just repetition.
How many dentists participate in each course session?

This small group format ensures direct faculty supervision during every procedure. Up to two observers may attend each session but do not perform surgery.

By the end of the program, most participants can independently perform uncomplicated single-unit implant placements with appropriate case selection.
