REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS:

I have taken 100hrs of CE in the last year alone. I have to say the 4 courses I recently took was the Best Investment year to date. the Gide institute hands down win's the best hand's on training experience and most update RELEVANT information you will find out there. Worth every penny. I am also now an online member and have found more useful information in 3 hr. than I have in 5 yr. of traveling to CE courses.

I had felt that there was a piece of my practice that was missing...That was hard tissue augmentation. After the course, I feel that this piece of the puzzle has been completed.

"I have been involved in the implant arena since 1987, and have participated in many programs dealing with placing implants, and grafting implants. Dr. Jovanovic offers the most complete and comprehensive program on bone, ridge & socket grafting. He's a WORLD CLASS dentist that provides one of the best educational programs to train other dentists to predictably graft bone, to place implants to give the most predictable level of success."

General Practioner from Camarillo, CA

"The workshop exercises were exactly what I needed, incorporating the best fresh-tissue sinus model I ever worked with. It was like having a CT-Scan diagnosis in front of me! With each step, I could clearly see its resulting impact on the sinus floor. This course raised my confidence level and success rate in sinus bone grafting, and has expanded my understanding and overall expertise of these important procedures that I now perform regularly."
