The Implant Restoration series is designed to give you a thorough understanding of Implant Restoration. You will learn from two leaders in the Implant Restoration field, Dr. Fernando Munguia and Dr. Vahik Meserkhani. Both of these instructors are certified prosthodontists who teach in the Prosthodontics department at Loma Linda University as well as run successful private practices in Southern California. They have teamed up to give you a thorough course on implant restoration, going from the simple cases through the difficult aesthetic cases, focusing on keeping the education practical through showing you complications that you will face as well as how to handle these complications. The course is designed to be taken as a series, with each session building off the foundation of the previous course. However, you may choose to take classes individually, based on your educational needs.


Whether you have never restored an implant or have been restoring implants for years, the practical skills taught in this series will greatly benefit your practice, while giving you the tools and confidence you need to excel in implant restoration. As with all Progressive Courses, we have the best support in the industry, including our lifetime Free retake policy and instructor case diagnosis.
