Two pathways into the Advani Implant Institute: refer your complex implant cases to a hospital-based surgical practice, or train hands-on with Dr. Advani through our live-patient CE course series.
The Advani Implant Institute is built around the cases most general practices appropriately refer out — full-arch reconstruction, severely atrophic jaws, complex IV-sedation cases, and any patient where the right next step isn't clear. Dr. Advani performs these procedures in a hospital setting using X-Nav dynamic navigation as the surgical default.
What that means for you: a single point of contact for advanced surgical needs, a transparent referral process with case updates throughout treatment, and patients returned to your practice for ongoing maintenance and routine care.
We'll contact your patient within one business day to schedule a complimentary consultation. You'll receive confirmation as soon as the referral is received and a follow-up summary after the consultation.
The Advani Implant Institute hosts a small-group CE course series structured around live-patient surgery — not lectures, not cadaver workshops, not online modules. You scrub in, plan the case, and operate under Dr. Advani's direct supervision in a hospital-based surgical environment. Bring your own patient or work on one of ours.
The entry point for general dentists adding surgical implant work to their practice. Three foundational procedures performed live on either Dr. Advani's patients or your own — under direct supervision in a hospital-based surgical setting.
Small group format. Inquire for current course dates, tuition, and patient-bring-your-own logistics.
The flagship course in the Institute's series. Bring your own All-on-X patient and treat them at the Institute under Dr. Advani's direct supervision — using both freehand surgical technique and X-Nav dynamic navigation so you experience the difference firsthand. The full digital workflow is demonstrated and used live on the patient.
Limited seats per cohort. Patient screening and pre-course case planning required. Inquire for upcoming dates and tuition.
A focused course on the three guidance approaches in implant surgery. Pilot drill guides, fully guided protocols, and X-Nav dynamic navigation — each demonstrated, compared, and contextualized so you understand which approach belongs in which case. With particular emphasis on the cases where X-Nav is genuinely the right answer: anterior immediate placement and FP1 reconstruction.
Designed for actively placing implant doctors. Pre-course case discussion encouraged.
Most CE courses use cadavers, mannequins, or pig jaws. We use actual patients — yours or ours. The skills you build are the skills you'll use Monday morning, not approximations.
Courses run inside Ascension Alexian Brothers Medical Center. Full IV sedation infrastructure, hospital-grade safety, medical emergency response — the environment your toughest cases deserve.
For the AOX course, your own patient's jaw is 3D-printed from their CBCT — practice the exact case before scrubbing in. Reduces surprises, improves outcomes, and accelerates skill acquisition.
TRIOS 5 scanning, Shining 3D Elf, MicronMapper photogrammetry, X-Nav dynamic navigation, in-house 3D printing for same-day temps — the current generation of tools, not last decade's.
Small-group cohorts mean you operate with Dr. Advani's hands directly available — not from across the room. Pre-course case planning, live coaching, and post-course follow-up are part of the program.
In the AOX course, your patient leaves with implants placed and same-day temporaries delivered. You don't pay tuition for an education and then go home empty-handed. Both you and your patient walk out with what you came for.
Teaching other dentists has made me a better surgeon. You can't shortcut a procedure when someone is watching you to learn how it should be done.
Whether you're sending a complex case our way or considering a CE course, we welcome the conversation. Direct provider-to-provider contact is encouraged.
