Unlike other programs based only on lectures or simulations, this intensive 5-day course offers 100% real-world surgical experience on patients. From day one, you'll be immersed in practical application under direct supervision in a university clinical setting. This course focuses on fundamental implant techniques (straightforward placements, immediate post-extraction implants, and minor bone grafts when necessary), ensuring you master the core skills. Advanced procedures like sinus lifts or ridge splits are not covered in this foundational module.
Are you a general dentist thinking implantology is only for specialists? This course will prove otherwise, equipping you with the foundational skills and confidence needed to predictably place implants. No prior implant experience is required (though basic implant theory is a prerequisite - see below). Perfect for both general practitioners and specialists looking to gain significant hands-on surgical practice.
Training on live patients within the modern clinical facilities of the Dental School facilities offers unique benefits. You gain experience managing real anatomical variations and patient interactions under the highest ethical standards. The university environment provides:
This approach bridges the gap between theory and practice far more effectively than simulation-only courses.
The course is structured to maximize surgical hands-on time. After orientation and case review on Day 1, you'll enter the clinic. You'll work in small teams at dedicated stations, supported by an instructor and assistant. You'll rotate between placing implants (average 5/day) and assisting colleagues, gaining exposure to ~50 procedures total. Instructors provide step-by-step guidance and debrief after surgeries to reinforce learning.

“I was blown away by the amount of hands-on experience I got. In just one week I placed 25 implants – which is more than I had placed in the last couple of years at my practice. The instructors were patient and incredibly skilled, guiding me through each step. I left Santo Domingo feeling confident and ready to perform implants back home.”
- Dr. Jason M.
General Dentist, California, USA
“This program was exactly what I needed. I had done lots of implant theory courses online, but nothing compares to treating real patients under supervision. The environment was professional, the staff was supportive (the bilingual assistants made communication with patients easy), and the hotel accommodations and overall organization were excellent. I highly recommend this course to any dentist who wants real implant surgery experience.”
- Dr. Sandra L.
DDS, Toronto, Canada
“As an oral surgeon, I wanted to refresh my implant skills... and I still found the course hugely valuable. The volume of cases and the variety of situations (immediate implants, different bone qualities, etc.) were great for learning. It was intense but very rewarding. Plus, exploring the Colonial Zone in the evenings was a nice bonus.”
