Choosing a dental implant CE course is a big decision. Implant Pathway is built to take dentists from fundamentals to confident, repeatable implant placement—without guesswork. This buyer’s guide breaks down hours, hands-on training, and live-patient options, so you can select the track that best fits your goals and schedule.
Start with the Building Blocks: Session 1 (Online Modules)
Session 1 delivers the must-know foundation—36 CE credits via 36 on-demand, one-hour modules. You’ll cover history, rationale, case selection, treatment planning, and more, at your own pace. Certificates are processed monthly, and access is activated shortly after enrollment. These modules are designed to prep you for hands-on work, so your time in the lab and clinic counts.
Level Up in the Lab: Session 2 (Hands-On + Didactic)
Next comes Session 2 (32 CE credits)—a focused weekend that mixes didactics with hands-on exercises. Expect extractions and grafting, single-tooth implants, ridge preservation, flap design, drilling protocols, CBCT reviews, immediate implants, post-operative care and uncovering, full-arch concepts, and guided surgery. Multiple 2026 dates are offered across cities such as Oceanside, Chicago, Dallas, and Bend, allowing you to train close to home and maintain your schedule.
Turn Knowledge into Skill: Session 3 Live Surgery (Arizona or Mexico)
When you’re ready for real-world reps, Session 3 is where confidence accelerates.
Arizona Surgical Session (Tempe/Gilbert): 24 CE credits across two days of live surgery at New Horizon Institute, a nonprofit setting where you’ll perform extractions, grafting, single/multi-unit placement, and, when indicated, full-arch treatment under a 2:1 mentor ratio. You can even bring your own patient (CBCT prescreening required).
Mexico Surgical Session (Guadalajara): 24 CE credits over three days, with a broader case mix that can include sinus bumps and full-arch placement for expanded exposure.
