Understanding the fast-evolving nature of dentistry, Dr. Sam Park is aware of the challenges faced by dentists, where traditional university education may not fully prepare practitioners. He actively addresses this by providing mentorship and educational guidance to fellow dentists, empowering them with the necessary competencies and knowledge to excel in implant dentistry

Course Overview

This hands-on course equips dentists with the skills to confidently manage extraction sites and ridge defects through bone grafting and socket preservation. You’ll learn when to graft, how to select the appropriate materials, and how to perform guided bone regeneration (GBR) techniques for various types of bone defects.

Practical training includes atraumatic extraction, flap design and management, membrane handling, and advanced suturing techniques. You’ll also learn how to secure your graft using a range of stabilization methods and how to enhance graft performance by combining materials with the patient’s own blood to promote optimal healing and regeneration.

Small group sessions, limited to just 10 participants, ensure personalized, hands-on guidance from Dr. Sam Park. In addition to the in-person training, you’ll receive lifetime access to Dr. Park’s Mentorship Club, which includes ongoing support, regular study clubs every 2–3 months, and peer-to-peer networking opportunities.

This comprehensive program is designed to prepare you to approach even the most complex implant cases with confidence, precision, and predictability.

Testimonials

Dr. Melanie F

I have researched a lot of implant courses. Many are held in large, impersonal and intimidating lecture theatres with hundreds of attendees. Not this one. Just 8 dentists and a passionate, experienced presenter and support staff. It’s the ideal space to ask questions and get some hands on tuition. Food is excellent. If you’re looking for implant training for beginners to intermediates, you’ve found it.

Dr. Harold L

The course was incredibly thorough, covering everything from the basics to advanced techniques like custom abutments, countersinking, and preventing bone loss around implants. After discussing a few things with colleagues who have taken numerous other courses, none had covered these topics so comprehensively. Dr. Park is a truly humble person who was kind enough to share all his cases, complications, difficulties encountered in those cases and how best to tackle each case. The small class size allowed for great interaction and ensured everyone stayed engaged throughout the session.

Dr. Wei J

This is the course that I wish was available when I was first starting out. Dr Sam does a great job covering all the little things that are so important but you don’t think about or is skipped by other courses. His teachings makes the procedures so easily applicable and feasible financially.

Dr. Jason W

I have completed Sam’s Mentorship courses and I found them very helpful. Sam covered not only the fundamentals but also simplified implant dentistry in the vast sea of information out there. I believe if you ever felt you are still missing something after attending implant courses after implant courses, then this course is likely going to help just like it did for myself. Sam is very practical in his approach and is a great mentor.

Dr. Phuong P

Dr Sam Park’s implant course was highly informative and valuable. He’s an engaging presenter
who takes complex concepts and turns them into clear, simple steps, all supported by concise,
up-to-date guidelines backed by current research. The small group setting allowed plenty of
opportunities to ask questions and get personalised guidance, which added a lot of value.
The hands-on component was a highlight for me, and I feel more confident about bringing
these skills into a clinical setting. The catering was some of the best I’ve had at any course.
I’d highly recommend this course to clinicians looking for implant training that’s high quality,
practical, and grounded in real-world application.

Dr. James L

Great course for anyone looking into implant dentistry.
Very informative theory component and variety of Hands-On. Experienced and engaging Speaker Dr Sam is excellent.

Dr. JY N

Sam is an approachable mentor that has a good depth of implant knowledge to learn from.
We covered so much in the time that we had and it was a course I’d recommend to any dentists.
