Team courseHow a course works
From the lecture room to your own patients
Courses are built to grow your confidence: careful case selection, treatment planning, and skills checked on models before any live patient. Our goal is that you can place your first implant soon after the foundation course.
- 1
Learn
Case selection, treatment planning, and the surgical and restorative steps, taught so they are easy to put into practice.
- 2
Practice
Hands-on work on models, where your hand skills are checked. Getting the right feel matters as much as the technique.
- 3
Treat
In some advanced courses you treat properly selected live patients at our office, under Dr. Kim’s supervision.
- 4
Follow up
Bring us the cases you are planning. Present your own plan first, then we give you our view.
Your instructor
Joseph Kim, DDS, JD
Dr. Kim founded the Modern Implant Institute. He graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2001 and has placed and restored implants since 2002. Since 2009 he has taught implant surgery and prosthetics to more than 1,500 dentists and specialists in Illinois, Michigan, Georgia and Tennessee, and many more in study clubs and advanced courses.
His offices routinely perform large augmentations and full-arch cases, and he now focuses on implant surgery. That day-to-day clinical work is what the courses are built on.
