30 days out. Our last course of the year is almost completely full.

One month until our final course of 2026 — and nearly every seat is spoken for.

SOLD OUT:

Full Arch
Single Implants
Wisdom Teeth
Sinus

Just ONE spot left:

Pterygoids

If you've been waiting to get hands-on with pterygoids — the only hands-on, live-patient pterygoid course in the US, with just two spots per course — this is your last chance in 2026. When it's gone, it's gone.

And looking ahead? January 21–23 is already starting to fill up. If you want in on the first course of the new year, now's the time to grab your seat — don't wait until it's sold out too.

No bleeding in the osteotomy? Do not place that implant yet.

Look back at early implant failures and a pattern shows up — it's not always pressure necrosis. Sometimes it's simpler than that: there was no active bleeding when the implant went in. No blood supply, no healing. Just like anywhere else in the body.

So if you get to placement and that socket is dry, your job is to make it bleed. A few ways to do it:

Scrape the osteotomy walls with a curette or a sharp Gracie — the site is only a 4.3 or 5.0, so it doesn't take much.

Take a small quarter surgical round bur and poke holes in the walls — you're not widening anything, just breaking up the cortices to invite blood flow in.

And if you have the room — say your osteotomy is at 10, you're placing an 8, and the nerve is 13 or 14 away — take your pilot drill one millimeter deeper. Breaking out of that cortical sandwich into trabecular bone can bring blood supply up from the bottom of the socket.

Let it fill. Then place. Because an implant sitting in a bleeding socket is an implant that can actually heal.

This is exactly the kind of pearl you pick up learning to place implants at CSI — not just the drilling sequence, but the judgment calls that separate implants that integrate from implants that fail. Real cases, real mentors, and the lessons that only come from thousands of placements.

Giving back is at the heart of what we do.

SOI and Colorado Surgical Institute are proud to each donate $2,500 to Colorado Mission of Mercy (CoMoM) — helping bring free dental care to people across our community who need it most.

CoMoM does incredible work, and every bit makes a difference. We'd love to see this network rally behind them. Whether it's $5 or $500, every dollar goes toward getting someone the care they deserve.

If you've got it to give, we highly encourage you to chip in. Let's show what this community can do together.

Soft bone near the sinus is one of the hardest cases in implant dentistry. Here's how you don't lose control of it.

D4 and D5 bone is unforgiving — and when you're working right up against the sinus floor, a few small decisions separate a solid placement from an implant floating in the sinus.

The details that keep you in control:

Match your perforation drill to your implant. A 2.0 drill takes a 3.5 implant; a 3.5 drill takes a 4.3 or 5.0. But pointed vs. ovoid apex matters — a Drive implant needs a wider hole, so you have to punch through the sinus floor with at least a 3.5–4.0 or the apex bottoms out on a hole that's too small.

Then the real problem: you're drilling a wider diameter through already soft bone, wiping out what little density you had. The fix — run your drills in reverse. Instead of cutting and pulling bone out, reverse pushes it laterally, condensing the ridge. In really soft cases you can harvest that bone, grab an osteotome, and pack it back in to make the site denser before you place.

And the honest part: push too hard and you'll drive the implant straight into the sinus. It happens. If it does — welcome to the club. You make a lateral window and go fish it out. Knowing that in advance is the difference between a panic and a plan.

This is exactly the kind of decision-making we work through together, hands-on, at CSI — the small saves that make the hardest cases manageable.

2027 Frenectomy dates are officially live.

You asked when the next one was — now you have two chances to bring this procedure in house next year:

March 10-11, 2027

Same course. Same incredible team. Dr. Michael Dienberg and Bethany Dienberg walk you through diagnosing tongue and lip ties across every age group — Kotlow, TRMR, and Hazelbaker assessments — then put you hands-on with both scalpel and CO₂ laser techniques on real patients, with real-time coaching on every movement.

You'll also leave with the full playbook: coding and billing, team training, and the referral network strategy that turns lactation consultants, speech therapists, and orthodontists in your area into a steady stream of patients.

Here's the thing about these dates — there are only two of them all year. Our September 2026 course filled up, and with just two shots at this in 2027, waiting until "later" means waiting a very long time.

The patients are already in your chair. Tiny snip. Huge impact.

"These are the type of people that I love to learn from."

That means a lot coming from Dr. Chris Green — a respected surgeon and educator who has known Dr. Taher Dhoon and Dr. Dan Briskie for years, stood beside them in the operatories, and watched firsthand how they operate and how they teach.

His words: phenomenal surgeons. Top-notch. And every conversation about surgery ends with him learning something new.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to at CSI — because when experienced surgeons who have seen it all say they still learn something every time, you know the education runs deep.

If you're thinking about expanding your surgical skills, take it from someone who has been in the room: this is where you come to grow.

This is the moment it all comes together.

There's nothing like a smile reveal.

Behind this moment is a full arch transformation — months of planning, skilled hands, and a patient who trusted the process. But watch their face, and none of the clinical detail is what matters. What matters is what a smile gives back: confidence, comfort, the freedom to laugh in a photo again without thinking twice.

This is why we do what we do. Not just placing implants — changing how someone feels every time they look in the mirror.

And to the doctors who make moments like this possible — this is what your training leads to.

Envelope flap or distal release? Here's how to decide.

When there's no distal tooth behind your site, you've got a choice — and it comes down to visibility versus healing.

Go straight back with an envelope flap and it closes faster with less discomfort for the patient — but you give up visibility. So start there. Lay the envelope, retract, and see what you're working with. If you need more, add a small distal release on the buccal to open it up. Just know that's more suturing and more soreness for the patient, so don't reach for it unless the envelope alone doesn't give you what you need.

One caveat worth holding onto, especially when you're learning: at this stage, visualize as much as you can. A big flap isn't what hurts the patient — a messy one is. As long as you're not tearing periosteum everywhere, size matters far less than being clean and intentional about it.

That's the kind of judgment that gets built by planning and placing real cases with faculty right beside you — the small "which flap, and why" calls that add up to a clean outcome.

3 on 6™ Full Arch Rehabilitation is coming to Colorado.

One of the most sought-after full-arch techniques in dentistry is making its way to CSI — and you won't have to travel out of state to learn it. We've partnered with Smile Systems to bring the 3 on 6™ course to Greeley, taught by one of our mentors.

It's a more conservative approach to full arch — preserve bone instead of sectioning it away, with more natural-looking results that set your patients up for long-term success.

Over 24 CE hours, you'll learn to:

Diagnose and treatment plan edentulous and partially edentulous patients using CBCT
Master the surgical concepts — extractions, grafting with PRF, suturing, and managing complications
Apply the Four Cornerstones of full-mouth rehab: esthetics, VDO, jaw relationships, and occlusion
Handle both digital and analog impressions for provisional and definitive prostheses
Communicate effectively with your lab on materials and techniques
Deliver ethical, standard-of-care rehabilitation from diagnosis all the way to delivery

And you'll learn it the CSI way — hands-on, on live patients, with faculty who welcome every question.

Patients are already searching for 3 on 6 providers. The demand is here. Now the training is too — right in Colorado.

Now's the time to level up.
