Who this is for
- General dentists who place implants and want a metal-free option
- Doctors with patients asking for ceramic or biocompatible alternatives
- Clinicians adding the SDS system to an existing implant workflow

Reviews
What Participants are Saying
Verified reviews from dentists and assistants who have attended our hands-on courses.
My experience was excellent. It was a very thorough, yet concise, two days of learning. The information was shared in a way that gave me tools I can apply right away, along with areas I can continue to dive deeper into.
This training showed me that 3D printing is not as hard as it looks. It's a lot of repetition, and the more hands-on you get, the easier it becomes. I would definitely recommend this course to doctors and assistants, they'll leave with a lot of valuable knowledge.
I would absolutely recommend this course. It's very personal and intimate. Any questions or concerns you have are fully addressed, and everyone is focused on you. There are a lot of takeaways from this course, definitely worth it.
