Subperiosteal Implant Course

Advanced Full-Arch Solutions for Severe Atrophy

Course Overview

The Subperiosteal Implant Course is a high-level, hands-on surgical mentorship focused on subperiosteal implant therapy — from digital planning and design to live surgical placement.

This course is designed for clinicians seeking to expand into advanced full-arch solutions for patients with severe atrophy, where conventional implant therapy may no longer be predictable or viable.

Every stage of the process is performed under the direct mentorship of Dr. Samuel Jirik, giving participants real-time guidance, surgical insight, and practical decision-making in a live clinical environment.

This is not a theory-based program. This is guided execution in a live surgical setting.

Why This Course

Subperiosteal implants offer a powerful solution for patients with severe bone loss, but success depends on precision in planning, design, surgical execution, soft tissue management, and prosthetic coordination.

This course is designed to help clinicians not only learn how to perform these cases, but how to evaluate, plan, and think through them with the discipline of an experienced surgeon.
