🦷 5 Full Arch cases
🦷 70 Single Implants
🦷 58 Wisdom Tooth Extractions
🦷 8 Sinus Lifts
🦷 4 Pterygoid Implants

This is not a simulation. This is not a lecture hall. This is real surgery, real patients, and real mentorship — and by Sunday afternoon, 23 doctors are going home with skills they will use for the rest of their careers.

We all kind of know upper snap-ins don't work. But do you know WHY?

Dr. Tom Fow breaks it down and it comes down to one thing — Wolf's Law.

Your bone stays healthy because it's constantly being loaded. It needs force. It needs stimulation to trigger the osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity that keeps bone density where it needs to be.

Here's the problem with maxillary over dentures. The prosthesis is mostly tissue supported — the implants are just providing retention through the snap-ons. That means those implants aren't getting nearly enough stimulation to maintain healthy bone over time. Add in the fact that maxillary bone is naturally softer with less cortical support and you've got a recipe for bone loss, loose implants, and patients ending up back in your chair a few years later asking why it isn't working anymore.

Dr. Fow's take? If you're already putting four maxillary implants in and doing the proper bone reduction for restorative space — why aren't you just doing a fixed prosthesis? The biology supports it. The physics support it. And your patients will thank you for it years down the road.

This is the kind of clinical thinking that separates reactive dentistry from truly predictable outcomes. And it's exactly what we teach at our courses.

Real talk. Real science. Real solutions.

Dr. Taher Dhoon and Dr. Dan Briskie will be taking the stage at the Dental Success Summit this year.

Their presentation is called Two Philosophies for Building a Surgical Program — and if you're a dentist thinking about building or growing an implant program, this one is for you.

Here's the truth nobody talks about enough: there is no single right way to integrate implants into your practice. Some doctors build their entire practice around surgery from day one. Others weave it into an existing practice gradually and intentionally. Both paths work. Both paths lead to more production, more confidence, and a more fulfilling career.

But knowing WHICH path is right for YOU — and how to execute it without losing your team, your patients, or your sanity along the way — that's what this presentation is all about.

Dr. Dhoon and Dr. Briskie will share their own journeys, the lessons they learned the hard way, and the frameworks that will help you figure out exactly where you are and where you're going.

You'll walk away knowing whether you're an Integrator or an Intentional Designer — and exactly what to do next.

If you're going to be at DSS this year, come find us. We'll be on stage and at our booth and we cannot wait to connect with you.

Meet the mentors who will be in the room with you at our June course. 🙌

These are not just instructors standing at the front of a classroom. These are real clinicians who are in the operatory every single week doing the exact procedures you're about to learn. They've seen the complications, solved the problems, and built the confidence that you're coming to CSI to find.

And for three days in June they are entirely focused on you.

They'll be standing next to you during live surgeries. They'll answer the questions you've been afraid to ask. They'll push you further than you thought you could go and make sure you leave with the skills and the confidence to do it again on Monday morning.

This is what makes a CSI course different. It's not a lecture. It's not a simulation. It's real patients, real procedures, and real mentors who genuinely care about your growth.

We are so proud and grateful to have this team coming back for June.

June is almost here and we cannot wait to see what this group of doctors accomplishes together.

Everyone's talking about in-house labs and owning all the equipment. And yes — there are real benefits to having it all under one roof. But let's be honest about what it actually costs to get there.

And that's before you factor in overhead, maintenance, training, and the time it takes to actually run it.

His honest take? Unless you've got $80,000 burning a hole in your pocket and a tax basis issue to solve — skip the mill. What you DO need is a great scanner, a quality printer, and photogrammetry if your volume justifies it. That's the setup that makes sense for most practices right now.

This is exactly the kind of real, no-fluff financial and clinical clarity we bring to our Full Arch course. Because building a successful implant program isn't just about learning how to place implants — it's about understanding the business behind it so you can make smart decisions that actually grow your practice.

Upcoming Full Arch Dates:
September 10-12, 2026
November 5-7, 2026

We are ONE WEEK out from our June course and the energy is already through the roof. Here's who's showing up and leveling up:

11 Single Implant doctors
5 Wisdom Teeth doctors
3 Lateral Sinus Grafting doctors
2 Full Arch doctors

20 growth-minded clinicians walking through our doors ready to do the work, get their hands on live patients, and come out the other side with skills they'll use for the rest of their careers.

This is what we live for at CSI. 🙌

To every doctor joining us in June — we cannot wait to have you. Come hungry, come ready, and bring your best questions. It's going to be an incredible weekend.

You placed the IV. Everything looked fine. You gave your medications. And then your patient starts getting more somnolent than they should.

Sound familiar? Here's what's actually happening.

When an IV infiltrates and fluid or medication escapes the vessel, it doesn't just disappear. It gets absorbed systemically — just like an IM injection. Which means that 2.5mg of Versed and 25 mics of fentanyl that went Sub-Q? It's coming. You just don't know exactly when.

That's the part nobody warns you about. The medications you already gave don't stop working just because your IV blew. They catch up to you later — sometimes an hour into your case — right when you least expect it.

Knowing this changes everything about how you monitor, how you dose, and how you respond when something doesn't add up.

This is exactly the kind of real-world clinical knowledge that separates dentists who offer IV sedation confidently from those who are white-knuckling it every time they push a medication.

Our IV Sedation course teaches you not just how to start an IV and push meds — but how to think through every scenario before it happens, manage it calmly when it does, and keep your patients safe every single time.

Get certified. Get confident. Get to work.

Right Dose. Right Patient. Right Results.

Drilling in concrete vs. drilling in cardboard.

That's how Dr. Briskie describes the difference between D1 and D4 bone — and if you've ever had a spinner, you know exactly what he means.

Here's the truth nobody talks about enough: yes, an unstable implant CAN heal. But nobody can tell you how long. And if you can't define that timeline, you're just hoping the implant doesn't back out six months down the road.

Out of 1,600 implants placed, Dr. Briskie has had just four spinners. Four. That's not luck — that's understanding how much or how little to drill based on the bone you're working with. It's knowing when to undersize. It's knowing when to reach for a tissue level implant and let that last thread grab the cortex.

The biggest hurdle for most doctors isn't surgical technique. It's reading the bone and making the right call in real time.

That's exactly the kind of clinical decision-making we teach at our courses.

Real cases. Real decisions. Real outcomes.

The best cosmetic dentists aren't winging it. They have a system.

The difference between a case that stresses you out and a case that excites you isn't your skill level. It's whether you have a predictable workflow you trust from the very first consultation all the way to final delivery.

That's exactly what we build in our Full Mouth Rehab course.

You'll leave with a step-by-step digital workflow that takes the guesswork out of every phase — records, deprogramming, VDO, smile design, temporization, and cementation. Every step is intentional. Every decision is backed by a system that works.

No more wondering if you set the VDO correctly.

No more delivery day anxiety.

No more hoping the lab understood what you wanted.

Just clean, confident, predictable outcomes — case after case after case.

Because when you have a workflow you trust, cosmetic dentistry stops feeling like a gamble and starts feeling like your greatest clinical strength.

Case Selection Made Simple. Step-by-Step Systems. Predictable Outcomes.
