Testimonials


  • " I took Dr. Al-Faraje's cadaver block grafting course recently. It was great to listen to a mentor with such a fresh perspective in teaching and addressing the audience. He openly shared his successes and his complications, which is the only way to truly learn from an instructor. He shared willingly tips and techniques to simplify the procedure of bone grafting and I felt truly rewarded for attending his course. This course has lots to offer to both experienced and novice surgeons. "

  • I strongly recommend Dr Faraje's mini residency in oral implantology.   He offers an excellent, comprehensive, detailed, up to date implant course.   I appreciated the concise, well organized lecture material full of practical, clinical and useful tips.  The mini residency gave me the confidence to begin placing implants in my own practice.

  • "Dr. Faraje's mini residency exceeded my expectations. I have learned and incorporated in my practice much more than I expected. Dr. Louie tells you the meat of implants without the nonsense"

    Dr. Stephen Saunders Waupaca, WI
  • The bone grafting course should really be titled 'Everything that you always wanted to know about bone grafting'. Absolutely fantastic course content from basic anatomy to real hands on; take home;how to do it in your practice material. Lots of case presentations including the ones that did not work. Lots of informal interaction with the students that resulted in a fast and comprehensive learning curve. Without any reservation I can recommend this course to ANY dentist that either would like to begin in office bone grafting procedures or would like to learn some new techniques to augment their already successful surgical practice.

  • I think it is the excellent organization and sequential presentation of Dr. Louie Al-Faraje's implant training courses that enabled me to safely start and build my implant practice. I feel that had I not gone to Dr. Louie Al-Faraje's sequence of dental implant training courses first, that I still would not have placed my first implant.

  • Dr. Faraje's phenomenal organization, very detailed and precise yet systematic guidelines gives any student the best dental implant education their money can buy. His no frills, "learn from my mistake" approach really opens your eyes to what can actually happen if you just take your usual weekend c.e. course and then begin placing implants. His extensive knowledge combined with a great sense of humor can humble any so called implant expert. You just feel very comfortable to ask even the very simplest question in his informal student-mentor interaction. Truly, a great educator who is passionate about his craft. I have already sent him numerous referrals. Thank you for having the opportunity to be under your mentorship.

  • Enjoyed your first seminar last month, and looking forward to the next session. I‘ve taken numerous implant courses over the years (to include Gordon Christiansen in Provo) and yours has been the most practical and best yet. It seems like everyone and their brother is giving courses these days, but what sets your class apart is that you teach well, are obviously well informed, and are enthusiastic about your subject material.
