Question 1

How many implants will I place during the 4-day course?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How many dentists participate in each course session?

Accepted Answer

Each course is limited to five dentists in the hands-on surgical group. This small group format ensures direct faculty supervision during every procedure. Up to two observers may attend each session but do not perform surgery.

Question 3

Is this course appropriate for dentists without implant experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This course is designed to accommodate dentists with little or no prior implant experience. Training begins with foundational concepts and straightforward cases. Faculty provide step-by-step chairside instruction during surgery. By the end of the program, most participants can independently perform uncomplicated single-unit implant placements with appropriate case selection.

Question 4

What is the tuition cost?

Accepted Answer

Tuition for hands-on participation is $15,000. This all-inclusive fee covers four days of live patient surgery, chairside mentorship, hotel accommodations, meals, ground transportation, surgical materials, instrumentation, and 36 CE credits through MINEC America. There are no additional or hidden fees.
