If there is one thing we hear time and again from doctors coming through the Midwest Implant Institute, it’s this: you can read all the textbooks you want, but nothing beats actual, hands-on surgical experience.
Whether you are looking to place your very first implant or trying to figure out how to handle those tricky sinus cases that keep showing up on your schedules, taking the right continuing education isn't just about collecting CE credits. It's about building genuine confidence so Monday mornings feel exciting instead of stressful.
If you’ve been thinking about leveling up your surgical skill set, here is a look at the next three courses on our schedule—and why each one might be the exact piece missing from your practice.
[411]
When: October 22–24, 2026, 2027 Courses Now Available!
CE Credits: 21 ADA CERP CE
Think of the 411 as the ultimate launchpad. We cover everything from the ground up—implant treatment planning, diagnostic tools, and socket preservation workflows—and bring it all together with hands-on lab work. But the real crown jewel? You will actually place an implant on a live patient under direct, 1-on-1 supervision from an experienced MII mentor.
Taking that leap into implant placement can feel daunting, but having a seasoned mentor right by your side changes everything. We also make it as seamless as possible: your registration covers tuition, hardware, grafting materials, course supplies, and meals.
Pro Tip: Bring your assistant! We include free training for one dental assistant so your team learns surgical setups, infection control, and workflows right alongside you. You'll head back to the office completely synced up and ready to treat patients.

If you're already placing standard implants, you know the single most common headache: not enough bone. Headlined by Dr. Jim Rutkowski, this advanced course dives deep into hard tissue augmentation and both lateral window and crestal sinus elevation techniques. You get step-by-step hands-on workshops on models and specimens, paired with fully narrated live surgical demonstrations.
How many times have you turned away a posterior maxilla case or referred out a patient simply because the anatomy was compromised? This course gives you the surgical tools to keep those complex cases right in your own chair. Watching master surgeons work through real-time challenges gives you the practical insight needed to tackle bone deficiencies with total control.

When: December 10–11, 2026, 2027 Courses Now Available!
CE Credits: 10 ADA CERP CE
Let’s be honest—if you perform enough surgery, eventually something won't go according to plan. What sets elite implant surgeons apart isn't that they never run into trouble; it's that they know exactly how to fix it when they do. This course is all about troubleshooting surgical complications, managing peri-implant issues, and avoiding repeatable mistakes.
This isn't a lecture where someone boasts about their perfect cases. It is a open, transparent environment where you are encouraged to bring your own problematic cases, CBCTs, and X-rays to review with our faculty. Learning how to navigate out of surgical complications takes the anxiety out of everyday procedures and gives you complete peace of mind.
At the end of the day, investing in your surgical skills is about serving your patients better and enjoying the dentistry you do every day. Our course sizes are intentionally kept small so everyone gets real, personalized attention from our mentors.
