Pikos Institute, a pioneer in advanced dental implant education, proudly celebrates its 35th anniversary as one of the world’s premier destinations for comprehensive dental implant training. Since its founding in 1990 by Dr. Michael A. Pikos, the Institute has empowered over 7,000 clinicians across 67 countries through a blend of evidence-based teaching, live surgery, and hands-on mentorship.
The 35-year milestone not only marks a legacy of excellence - it signals Pikos Institute’s continued leadership in shaping the future of dental education. What began as a vision to close the gap between lecture-based learning and clinical reality has grown into a globally respected platform for dental implant courses that transform both practices and patient lives.
“This anniversary is a celebration of every clinician we’ve helped grow in confidence and skill,” said Dr. Pikos. “For 35 years, we’ve stayed true to our mission: to deliver world-class dental implant education that’s grounded in science, built on clinical relevant experience, and designed to elevate patient care.”
A Legacy of Clinical Impact: What Sets Pikos Institute Apart
For over three decades, Pikos Institute has provided CE-based training that helps clinicians master surgical implant dentistry - from fundamental implant placement to complex zygomatic and pterygoid cases. Programs are designed to serve general dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and interdisciplinary teams looking to grow their skill set and treatment offerings.
Signature offerings include:
LIVE surgeries observed in a real clinical setting
Cadaver-based surgical training and guided technique labs
Full arch, sinus, soft tissue, zygomatic, and pterygoid implant protocols
Digital workflows: photogrammetry, CBCT planning, and 3D-guided surgery
Team training tracks for assistants and treatment coordinators
Each dental implant course combines in-depth lectures, step-by-step frameworks, and small-group mentorship by practicing clinicians / faculty to ensure that participants walk away with real-world skills they can apply immediately.
“What’s always mattered most to me is giving dentists something they can truly use the moment they get back to their practice,” said Dr. Michael A. Pikos, Founder and CEO of Pikos Institute.
“The strength of our courses is that they’re not just about theory—they’re rooted in real cases, real techniques, and real confidence that grows with every hands-on session. We also spend time on complications, because understanding what can go wrong—and how to respond—is a critical part of clinical success.”
