Implant Case Selection
How to tell an easy implant case from one that will humble you, before you pick up a handpiece.
Runtime announced at release
Apache Junction, Arizona
Bigler Dental Institute teaches hands-on implants, reconstruction, and modern digital workflows inside a working practice. Not a hotel ballroom, not a slide deck you could have read at home.

The institute sits inside Dr. Bigler's practice on South Idaho Road, Apache Junction.
The hub
Start anywhere. Most dentists take a free lesson, buy a recorded course, then come to Apache Junction for the hands-on work.
Featured live course
Plan, place, and restore. Two days that take you from the CBCT scan to the seated crown, with Dr. Bigler working beside you.

Every live in-person course at Bigler Dental Institute provides continuing education (CE) credit for dentists.

Free training
The free library is not a trailer for a sales call. It is the same material, taught properly, in shorter pieces.
Reading a CBCT for Implant Planning
The order Dr. Bigler works through a scan in his own practice. Where the nerve actually runs, how much bone is really there once you account for the ridge shape, what the sinus floor is telling you, and the findings that should stop a plan before it starts. Taught end to end, nothing held back for a paid course.
Clinical Photography for Case Documentation
A repeatable photo series any team can shoot in a few minutes, with the camera settings, the retraction and mirror handling, and the lighting that makes shade and contour readable later. Good records make treatment planning easier and make the conversation with a lab or a colleague far shorter.
Presenting Treatment So Patients Say Yes
How to explain a large plan without a script and without pressure. Framing the problem before the solution, phasing the work so a patient can start somewhere, showing records honestly, and answering the fee question without flinching or discounting. The language matters more than the slides.
Leave a name and an email and the free library opens. Full lessons from the same material Dr. Bigler teaches in person.
Study club
A small group of practicing dentists who meet to work through their own cases with Dr. Bigler. Bring the case you are stuck on. Leave with a plan and people to call.
Two days in a working practice with a dentist who is still in the chair the following Monday.
