CII Ed

In 2001, Dr Louie Al-Faraje established the California Implant Institute (CII) in San Diego, California, to provide quality continuing education courses in dental implants and related topics to practicing dentists from all over the world.

In 2012, CII introduced their hands-on live-patient surgical externships, which provide advanced, state-of-the-art training in oral implantology procedures in their facility in Rosarito, Mexico, located 28 miles south of the US border. Expert clinicians guide practicing dentists through the procedures of extractions, bone grafting, and implant placement to provide them with the knowledge and confidence to perform dental implant treatments safely and effectively for their own patients.

In addition to the live-patient surgical externships, the institute offers hands-on cadaver programs covering advanced bone grafting procedures as well as zygomatic and pterygoid implants.

California Implant Institute is a global institute with a large number of international students. During the last 23 years, more than 4000 oral health professionals from 40+ countries have attended our programs.
