Elevate your practice to the next level with a
3-Weekend Dental Implant Fellowship

The Institute of Houston Dental Synergy Implant Fellowship helps dentists introduce Implant Dentistry to their practices. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge with every participant through providing science-based lectures, hands-on practice and live surgery. All iHDS faculty are in full-time specialty practice and have designed an in-depth education approach, allowing participants to study the full range of important implant topics from the basic sciences all the way to final implant restoration. We are committed to keeping an effective educator to learner ratio with a class maximum of 20 students.

During each weekend course, attendees will have hands-on practice on cadaver heads or pig jaws and will watch live surgery performed by one of the faculty. The optional fourth session is currently being revamped to cater to each participant’s dental license provisions and will be priced accordingly. For the fourth session, there are three options under consideration: 1) Texas-licensed participants will have a weekend at the iHDS facility to perform surgery on one of their own patients under the direct supervision of one of the faculty members; 2) We take a group trip to one of our international clinic partners, such as one in Mexico or Honduras, for a weekend of multiple implant placements followed by some resort relaxation; 3) Participants cover expenses to allow a faculty member to travel to the participant’s practice to supervise a day of surgeries.

In addition to the weekend classroom sessions and supervised surgeries, attendees will benefit from full online support from iHDS faculty to discuss and consult their cases. The online mentorship is for one year, beginning with the date of the first session. This active forum is the missing link to many implant courses and allows students to continue asking for support so they will keep using implants and experience patient success.

With this extensive and comprehensive series of lectures, surgeries and support, attendees complete the Implant Fellowship with the confidence, understanding and skills needed to place implants the following work day in their own practice.

The cost for each attendee will be $10,000 for the first three sessions. The total cost will depend on the optional fourth session selected.

Registration Cost: $10,000
