From Online to Live Surgery: Mapping Your Implant Learning Journey

What makes the Restored Smiles training model so effective is its intentional progression—from structured online learning to real-life surgical experience. Each session is designed with specific learning outcomes to build confidence, competence, and clinical expertise.

Session One: The Virtual Knowledge Engine

Modern dental CE courses must offer both flexibility and depth. Session One is a self-paced online implant training module designed for the busy dentist who wants to start or strengthen their implantology journey without compromising clinical hours. Topics include:

  • Diagnostic workflows and treatment planning
  • Cone Beam CT interpretation
  • Bone quality and quantity assessment
  • Flap vs flapless techniques
  • Risk factor mitigation strategies

Key Benefit: Dentists can review concepts repeatedly and absorb clinical protocols on their own time—setting a strong foundation for practical sessions.

 

Session Two: Bridging the Gap with Hands-On Precision

Dentists who complete Session One are invited to Session Two, a lecture plus hands-on training weekend hosted in the USA. Here, attendees move from passive learning to active clinical simulation. The format includes:

  • Didactic lectures expanding on online material
  • Hands-on practice with socket preservation and bone grafting
  • Implant placement on typodonts and models
  • Suturing exercises for various soft tissue scenarios
  • Live demos by Dr. Jedediah Huss

What sets this session apart is the small-group format, ensuring each dentist gets personalized instruction and can practice essential techniques multiple times.

 

Session Three: Supervised Live Surgery in Mexico

No dental implant CE program is complete without supervised live surgery—and Session Three delivers exactly that. Hosted in a clinical setting in Mexico, dentists get the opportunity to:

  • Perform multiple live implant placements on real patients
  • Learn intraoperative decision-making
  • Practice flap design, osteotomy creation, and suturing
  • Collaborate with a supervising faculty for real-time feedback

Many participants describe Session Three as the “aha moment” of their implant journey—where all the previous learning clicks and confidence skyrockets.

 

Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Jedediah V. Huss, DDS, DICOI

Your implant education is only as good as the person teaching it—and Restored Smiles is proud to have Dr. Jedediah V. Huss as its founder and lead clinical instructor.
