A New Age of Dental Implants
Discover The 7 Implant Nuggets Used By Top 1% Practices and DSOs
A 2-Day Course For Implant Efficiency, Implant Products Overhead Reduction and Top Marketing Strategy Education to Take the Implant Side of Your Practice to the NEXT Level...
Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Dr. Damon Thompson, founder of the Virginia Implant Institute. I have been placing implants for over 20 years now. 

I remember feeling overwhelmed when I first started placing implants. Even though I had gone to several courses, I often wished I had someone more accessible to mentor me and give me feedback to help ease the stress I felt.
 
There had to be a better way to receive dental implant training and shorten the learning curve...
From this idea, the Virginia Implant Institute was born.

We are taking clinicians that have never placed a single implant to those that are seasoned and are wanting to learn new techniques that will teach you to place more implants.

We are even looking to interview a select few who are interested in becoming faculty.
I will be performing live surgeries and instructing using real patients. We will also arrange for someone to come into your office and provide some 'over-the-shoulder' training.

This program will make you more comfortable, more profitable, and more fulfilled from the greater value you are adding to your patients.

So if you are interested in participating, click below and save your spot at the next event!

Course Description
Much has changed with regard to the clinical placement of implants and implant systems in the last 2 years. This course is designed for both beginner and advanced alike. There is an emphasis on the physical implant products and specific procedures used by the top 1% to drive overhead down, create maximum efficiency and universal compatibility among systems. 

Specific procedures pioneered by top DSOs, DDSOs and implant-geared practices are reviewed, to include a vast increase in implant new patients and overhead reduction. This course is for the dentist who wants to simplify and increase the volume of implant treatment in their practice(s)

One specific module in the course is a deep review of the marketing strategies used by practices placing over 200 implants per month. Multiple procedures and techniques are explored as the clinician receives a fast-paced and broad overview of new technologies, techniques and protocols designed to make implants even more efficient and fun (while reducing the cost of implants, abutments and components by an average of over 50%!)
