“For somebody who has little to know experience with implants, this is a wonderful place for me to start!”
Dr. Nathan Laughrey, General Dentist
“We have opportunity to do hands-on, the presentations are documented from scientific evidence and clinical studies. And obviously with Dr. Pikos, there's nothing better than to sit here and listen to him. You just absorb everything that he says.”
Dr. Michael Drone, Prosthodontist
“It was an amazing experience, to be fully immersed in implants! And although I had very little experience with them, I can now start slowly practicing placing implants.”
Dr. Athanasios Fasoulas, Endodontist
