Build Confidence in Impacted Third Molar Surgery
This intensive one-day course is designed to build confidence and efficiency in impacted third molar surgery. The morning session focuses on foundational principles including radiographic interpretation, case selection, flap design, bone removal, tooth sectioning, and risk management with emphasis on nerve preservation. Participants will also learn how to draw blood and prepare platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for enhanced healing. In the afternoon, participants transition to a live surgical experience, performing extractions on two patients with a total of eight impacted third molars under direct faculty supervision. Emphasis is placed on ergonomics, surgical sequencing, complication avoidance, and real-time decision-making. Participants will leave with practical skills, refined technique, and a clear workflow that can be immediately implemented in clinical practice.

Do I need to bring my own patients?
While we recommend that you bring your own patients, we can provide patients for you. There is a $200 fee for sourcing each patient.
Can doctors from outside of Ohio take the course?
Yes, out-of-state doctors can get a temporary license in Ohio to perform surgery. Allow one month to obtain it prior to the course.
What support is available after I complete the course?
We offer ongoing mentorship and support to all alumni. Our experts are available to help with case planning, troubleshooting, and any other questions you may have.
Do I need to provide my own patients for the live surgery?
There’s no need to bring your own patients; we've got that covered for you. We provide patients specifically for the live surgeries to ensure you can focus entirely on mastering your skills in managing complications. Of course, if you prefer to work with your own patients, you’re welcome to bring them along.
What experience level do I need to take a course?
Our courses are designed for dentists at all skill levels—whether you're placing your first implant or looking to advance your technique. We start with foundational courses and offer advanced courses for experienced practitioners. During your training, our faculty provides personalized, hands-on instruction tailored to your current skill level, helping you build confidence at your own pace. If you're unsure which course is right for you, contact us and we'll help you choose the best fit based on your experience and goals.
What does "live patient surgery" mean, and how does it work?
Live patient surgery means you'll actually perform implant procedures on real patients during your course—not just observe or practice on models. Depending on the course, you can either bring your own patient or work with patients we provide for you. Our faculty guides you through each step of the procedure, offering personalized instruction and real-time feedback. This hands-on approach ensures you gain practical experience that translates directly to your practice. We also handle the temporary Ohio dental license for out-of-state participants, so you can focus on learning.
