Implant Seminars

What Implant Seminars does

Implant Seminars, operating under the Garg Institute brand, is a privately-held continuing education company that delivers post-graduate dental implant training to general dentists in the United States and internationally. Founded approximately 30 years ago by Dr. Arun K. Garg — a former Professor of Surgery at the University of Miami School of Medicine and author of 10+ implant textbooks — the company offers a structured curriculum built specifically for general practitioner workflows rather than specialist training models. Its core program, the Dental Implant Continuum, delivers 88 continuing education hours across four sessions covering treatment planning, surgical placement, bone grafting, prosthetics, and complication management, priced at $4,900 with virtual and in-person Miami delivery options.

The product portfolio is tiered across price points and clinical depth: a $16,000 premium bundle adds a three-day live-patient surgery rotation placing 30-40 implants under expert supervision; shorter-format courses include the 16-CE-hour Implant Ignition weekend and the FAIR 2-Day Mastery Course covering full-arch 'All-on-X' workflows. Technology integration spans digital implant planning, CT scan-guided surgery planning, computer-guided implant placement, and digital scanning for prosthetic workflows. A dedicated Live Patient Training facility in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic — with 26 dental chairs and full diagnostic/imaging equipment — serves international dentists seeking hands-on surgical experience.

The business model is primarily one-time tuition, supplemented by 12-, 24-, and 48-month installment financing, an IDIA one-year mentorship membership bundled with continuum enrollment, and a self-paced online program via garginstitute.com. Go-to-market is direct-to-dentist and sales-led, combining phone-based program advisors, website lead capture, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X), email marketing, and content authored by Dr. Garg. The company claims a cumulative alumni base of 20,000+ general dentists, operates 51-100 employees across its Aventura headquarters, North Miami Beach training facility, Miami course sites, and the Dominican Republic site, and has no disclosed external funding or institutional investors.
