Live in-person

Hands-on courses in a working practice

Every live course runs inside the institute's Apache Junction facility. You work at the bench and in the operatory, not in a hotel ballroom with a laser pointer. Seats are limited because the room is a real clinical space.

The model

Small groups, real cases, working instructors

Courses are taught by Dr. John A. Bigler, DDS, FAGD, and Dr. Amir Gordji, DDS. Both still practice, so the answers you get are the ones they use in their own operatories.
