Where Knowledge
Meets Practice
Pacific Implant Academy (PIA) was founded in 2009 in Southern California as a study club with a mission to educate fellow dentists in the field of implant dentistry. Its monthly study club meets on 3rd Tuesday of each month Soon after PIA was founded the organizers immediately recognized overwhelming demands and needs for basic and advanced implant surgery and prosthetic training courses, in which participating doctors perform procedures on live patients.
