Clinical Education & Case-Based Learning: Bringing World-Class Implant Education to Northwest Indiana
Dr. Safa Tahmasebi speaking at Glacial Sands OMS at the AOX symposium
At the Dr. Bennett Implant Collaborative, we believe exceptional patient care begins with exceptional education. That’s why our study club is built on a foundation of clinical excellence, collaboration, case-based learning, and practical takeaways your team can use the very next day.
We bring in renowned speakers from across the country and around the world so that dentists in Northwest Indiana (NWI) have access to the same advanced implant education offered in major academic centers and global symposiums—without leaving home.
From foundational principles to advanced full-arch reconstruction, including discussions on zygomatic and pterygoid implant concepts, our mission is simple: bring the very best of implant dentistry directly to NWI and make it usable immediately in your practice.
Why Case-Based Learning Matters in Modern Implant Dentistry
Every implant case comes with its own set of diagnostic and restorative challenges. Case-based learning gives clinicians an inside look into real patient scenarios—what was discovered, why decisions were made, what complications occurred, and how they were solved.
This approach helps clinicians:
Strengthen diagnostic and treatment planning skills
Improve confidence with complex scenarios
Learn how experienced clinicians communicate across the surgical-restorative team
Apply new knowledge the next morning in their operatory
Understand how to identify implant candidates more effectively
Our focus is always on actionable education—insights that make an immediate difference for your patients and your workflow.
Global Speakers. Local Impact.
One of the most unique aspects of our study club is our commitment to bringing in leading implant educators from around the world. These experts share their experience with:
Digital implant workflows
Full-arch protocols and restorative timing
Advanced anatomy and alternative solutions
When and why zygomatic or pterygoid implants may be indicated
Proven strategies to improve restorative outcomes
These topics are often only available at large international meetings—but we bring this level of education directly to NWI.
And more importantly, we translate these global insights into practical, real-world steps your team can begin using the very next day.
A Collaborative Approach That Elevates Everyone
Implant dentistry is a team sport. Our study club fosters a culture where surgeons, restorative dentists, hygienists, assistants, and office staff learn together and communicate better.
Each session emphasizes:
Clear surgical–restorative communication
Shared treatment planning
How to set expectations for each phase of care
What information the restorative team needs upfront
Predictable sequencing from consult to final prosthesis
The result?
Better outcomes, fewer complications, smoother referrals, and stronger professional relationships.
The collaborative atmosphere is what makes the Dr. Bennett Implant Collaborative one of the most valuable educational resources in Northwest Indiana.
What You Can Expect at Our Meetings
Each session includes:
• Real Case Presentations
Step-by-step reviews of full-arch and single-tooth implant cases, including challenging anatomy and alternative implant solutions.
• Surgical Insights, Including Advanced Concepts
How and when to consider options like zygomatic and pterygoid implants—and what restorative teams need to know.
• Restorative Guidance You Can Use Tomorrow
We focus heavily on actionable items:
Improving implant consult conversations

Understanding restorative space and prosthetic design
Coordinating treatment timelines
Avoiding common pitfalls
We don’t just teach concepts—we teach what you can implement with patients the very next day.
Elevating Implant Dentistry in NWI—Together
