AI Researched Review Brief
Oasis Implant Academy runs a five day live surgery program in Tijuana, Mexico, organized around the full implant workflow from medical history and case selection through surgery, restoration, maintenance, and complications. Established in 2022 and based in Diamond Bar, California, it pairs case review and hands on training with supervised surgery on live patients.
What makes the experience different:
- Learn from course directors Dr. Jaewoo Cho, a UCLA trained general dentist in Diamond Bar who is an ICOI member and clinical faculty for NeoBiotech USA, and Dr. Eric Shin, a Loma Linda graduate and adjunct faculty member in prosthodontics at the USC School of Dentistry.
- Train alongside faculty educated at UCLA, USC, Columbia, Midwestern, and the University of the Pacific, plus an oral and maxillofacial surgery department chair from the Catholic University of Daegu in Korea. Instructors are practicing dentists who step away from their own offices to teach.
- Spend the three middle days moving between case reviews, hands on training, and live surgery, with arrival and a welcome reception on the first day and a certificate ceremony before the return to San Diego on the last.
- Register for a solo chair or a shared chair with another participant.
- Stay connected afterward through the alumni group and a monthly virtual study club on Zoom.
Best practical takeaways:
- Reviewing medical history and selecting appropriate implant cases
- Treatment planning that accounts for the restorative phase from the start
- Implant positioning, flap management, and suturing in live surgery
- Restorative and maintenance planning after placement
- Preventing and managing surgical complications
- Repetition across several supervised surgical days
Clinical distinction: Oasis Implant Academy is not a single procedure workshop or a lecture series on implant theory. Its value is following each case through medical history, case selection, surgery, restoration, and maintenance as one sequence with a multidisciplinary faculty, so surgical choices stay tied to the final result.
Best for: general dentists who are ready to place implants on live patients and want a broad, workflow focused experience with faculty close at hand. The academy does not publish implant counts per participant or faculty ratios, so ask what case volume and operating time to expect with a solo or shared chair before you enroll. The program requires travel to Tijuana by way of San Diego.
