Implant Pathway

Implant Pathway dental implant courses are designed to get you comfortable with the material and the process, so you can confidently place implants on your own. Complete Session 1 online at your own pace. Build on that foundational knowledge in Sessions 2/3 with in-person lectures and hands-on dental implant training. Then perform live surgery until you feel confident in your skills during Session 4. Fast Track covers all material from Sessions 1 through 4 in a single week.

How Do I Get There?

What Accommodations Are There For Out-Of-State Attendees?

Since we’re located in Tempe near Phoenix, dentists in Arizona and from neighboring states like California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico may choose to drive to The Pathway. Our address is 6200 S McClintock Dr #113, Tempe, AZ 85283. You can click here to get turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps.

If you’re traveling from afar or you would just prefer to fly, we recommend booking a flight to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, which is the closest airport to The Pathway. We’re located less than 10 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

Need accommodations in Tempe? We recommend that our students stay at Embassy Suites Tempe. It has plenty of rooms and is located just a few minutes away from The Pathway. We even have a shuttle system set up with Embassy Suites Tempe, so you can get free rides to and from The Pathway every morning. The Embassy Suites also offers an Implant Pathway Group Rate on rooms if booked in advance.

There are also plenty of other hotels, Airbnbs, and other lodging options in the area. However, the Embassy Suites Tempe is the only hotel that offers The Pathway’s free shuttle service, so you’ll need to arrange your own transport to The Pathway if you choose to stay elsewhere.
