Excellence in Practice

The Midwest Implant Institute has not only helped Dental Schools develop their dental implant programs, it has also taught thousands of doctors to become dental implant surgeons.

He continues to lecture on a national scale for multiple organizations, including the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID).
