Free In-House BLS Training for Our Referring Dental Offices
Supporting Clinical Excellence & Patient Safety Across Northwest Indiana
At the Dr. Bennett Implant Collaborative, our mission extends beyond continuing education. We are committed to raising the standard of care across the entire Northwest Indiana dental community — not only through study club meetings, but through hands-on, practical training that supports your whole team.
That’s why we are proud to offer in-house Basic Life Support (BLS) certification at no charge for all referring dental offices.
Whether your team needs initial certification or simply a renewal, our on-site BLS training makes it easy, convenient, and accessible for your entire staff.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve, and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
