Overview
This course connects the surgical, biologic, and clinical principles required for predictable single-tooth implant placement. Designed for general dentists who are introducing or preparing to implement implant dentistry into their practice.
Objectives
- Identify ideal patient selection criteria and low-risk cases for single-tooth implant placement
- Interpret CBCT findings to guide implant positioning, angulation, and dimensions
- Apply step-by-step surgical protocols to achieve predictable implant placement
- Recognize and prevent common complications to improve clinical outcomes
Course Modules
- Module 1: Implant biology, biomechanics, and patient selection for low-risk single-tooth cases
- Module 2: CBCT interpretation and implant positioning — angulation, depth, and dimensions
- Module 3: Step-by-step surgical placement protocols and complication prevention strategies
Every Implant Case You Refer Out Is Revenue Leaving Your Practice.
One evening changes that.
The Referral Problem
Most general dentists refer all implant cases to specialists. Every referral is $3,000 to $5,000 in revenue walking out your door — permanently.
The Confidence Gap
Dental school did not teach implant placement in depth. Most GPs feel underprepared and unsure where to start — even after taking CE courses.
The Case Selection Challenge
Knowing which cases are safe to start with is the hardest part. Get it wrong and complications follow. Get it right and your confidence compounds.
The Protocol Problem
Without a clear repeatable surgical protocol, every case feels like starting from scratch. This course gives you a framework you can use immediately.

This Is More Than a Lecture.
Hands-On Tabletop Exercises Included.
Unlike standard CE lectures, this course includes tabletop exercises designed to reinforce the surgical concepts taught in the lecture. Participants will work through case planning scenarios, CBCT interpretation exercises, and surgical sequencing drills — giving you muscle memory and decision-making confidence before you ever sit down with a patient.
