Tooth Out, Implant In: The Immediate Implant Playbook for General Dentists is a one day lecture and hands on course at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, built around giving general dentists a clear, repeatable workflow for immediate implants. It follows the full sequence from atraumatic extraction to placement to the provisional, with the aim of making immediate cases predictable in a general practice.
What makes the experience different:
- Learn from Dr. Clark Oakey, a general dentist and implantologist in Mustang, Oklahoma, who holds Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and is pursuing Diplomate status with the American Board of Oral Implantology.
- Learn alongside Dr. Jay Oakey, an OU trained dentist focused on comprehensive care, with training through the Spear Institute, DOCS Education, and international full arch and surgical programs.
- Focus on surgical and restorative workflows that a general practice can adopt predictably, with productivity and patient outcomes in mind.
- Start with didactic teaching and finish with hands on practice using implant models and demo kits provided by the course.
- Train at the OU College of Dentistry, an ADA CERP recognized provider. Both instructors disclose educator roles with Glidewell Dental, and Dr. Clark Oakey is a key opinion leader for BioHorizons.
Best practical takeaways:
- Indications, contraindications, and patient selection for immediate implants
- A surgical plan built on CBCT evaluation, socket classification, and restoratively driven positioning
- Primary stability principles for placement in a fresh socket
- Atraumatic extraction, site preparation, gap grafting, and soft tissue management
- Immediate provisionalization, custom healing abutments, and preserving the emergence profile
- Prevention and management of common surgical and restorative complications
- A step by step workflow to bring back to daily practice
Clinical distinction: Tooth Out, Implant In is not a broad implant continuum or a general extraction course. It narrows in on one moment, the failing tooth, and shows how case selection, CBCT planning, atraumatic extraction, primary stability, grafting, and provisionalization fit together so immediate placement becomes a repeatable process rather than an occasional improvisation.
Best for: general dentists who already extract teeth routinely and are placing, or preparing to place, implants, and who want a defined protocol for immediate cases. As a single day course on models, it works best as a focused framework to build on with further clinical experience. Clinical team members can also attend.
