A two-day premium training with Dr. Olivia Hart and Dr. Sammy Noumbissi — live SDS ceramic implant surgery, hands-on drilling protocol, and PRF-supported regeneration, inside a working biological dental practice in Richmond, Virginia. The course welcomes biologically minded dentists from Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, and across the United States.
Course Partners
A premium, two-day educational experience for dentists who want to integrate — or refine — ceramic implant treatment within a biological, health-focused practice.
The SDS Ceramic Implant Live Surgery & Hands-On Training Course is intentionally different from a large lecture event. It is designed to feel personal, clinically relevant, and relationship-centered. Participants learn inside a practicing biological dental office and observe real workflows, real surgical decision-making, and real protocols used in ceramic implant cases.
Instruction combines lecture, case discussion, and a live SDS ceramic implant surgery, followed by hands-on drilling protocol training on SDS density blocks and a PRF preparation workshop. Beyond technique, the course frames ceramic implant success as a broader biological process: careful case selection, atraumatic surgery, biocompatibility, inflammation control, site preparation, PRF-supported healing, and post-operative regenerative support.
The course is led by two of ceramic implantology's most respected voices — Dr. Olivia Hart, founder of Virginia Biological Dentistry and a nationally recognized ceramic implant clinician, and Dr. Sammy Noumbissi, founder and president of the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology. Continuing Education credits are provided by ADA CERP.
Direct instruction from a nationally recognized biological ceramic implant clinician and one of the field's foremost educators — teaching side-by-side across two days.

Dr. Olivia Hart is the founder of Virginia Biological Dentistry in Richmond/Glen Allen, Virginia. She is an IABDM Certified Biological Dentist, an ANMCB Board-Certified Naturopathic Dentist, and an IAOMT Accredited Member. She has also earned the FICOI and FAAIP fellowship credentials through the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (AAIP), respectively.
With more than a decade of biological dentistry excellence, Dr. Hart is nationally recognized for her expertise in ceramic dental implants, advanced biological oral surgery, PRF-supported regeneration, and conservative metal-free adhesive dentistry. She trains dentists in immediate ceramic implant placement, biological surgical protocols, and health-focused clinical workflows.
President · Int'l Academy of Ceramic Implantology
Dr. Sammy Noumbissi is widely recognized as one of the leading educators and clinicians in metal-free ceramic implantology. He is the founder and president of the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology (IAOCI) and has played a major role in advancing ceramic implant education and clinical awareness.
He earned his dental degree from Howard University College of Dentistry and completed advanced graduate training in implant dentistry at Loma Linda University.
As a researcher, author, international lecturer, and clinician, Dr. Noumbissi has taught dentists around the world about zirconia implants, bioceramics, and metal-free implant treatment. His work continues to advance zirconia research and education within implant dentistry.
Day One establishes the clinical, biological, surgical, and restorative foundations of SDS ceramic implantology — culminating in a live ceramic implant surgery observed by the group.
Where ceramic implantology fits within a biological, whole-body dental practice — and how the treatment planning differs from titanium at every stage.
Case selection, immediate placement concepts, and restoratively driven planning for successful esthetics, proper occlusion, and long-term function.
The highlight of Friday: a live SDS ceramic implant surgery, giving participants direct observation of real-time clinical decision-making, biological site preparation, osteotomy preparation, ceramic implant placement, regenerative support protocols, suturing, and post-operative clinical pearls.
Real patient, real workflow, real clinical decisions — not a rehearsed demonstration. The kind of learning a lecture cannot substitute for.
Friday concludes with an evening social gathering and dinner at Dr. Hart's home — a warm, family-like atmosphere for participants to connect personally, ask questions off the record, share cases, and build relationships with other biologically minded clinicians.
Day Two moves from observation to practice — participants work through SDS drilling sequences on density blocks and prepare their own PRF in the lab.
Practical work with SDS density blocks and drilling protocols, with emphasis on the specific hand and sequence that ceramic implants ask for.
Participants prepare PRF and review how it supports healing and regeneration in ceramic implant and oral surgery cases.
Advanced technologies and protocols designed to support post-operative comfort, tissue healing, inflammation control, and biological regeneration.
This course is intentionally positioned for doctors who want a deeper, more complete understanding of ceramic implantology through a biological, whole-body, metal-free lens.
Real-time observation of a full case — from biological site preparation through suturing — inside a practicing biological dental office.
Direct practice with the SDS drilling sequence, guided by faculty who use the system daily in clinical care.
Prepare PRF yourself, work with sticky bone protocols, and understand how regenerative biology supports ceramic implant success.
Whole-body, metal-free framing throughout: biocompatibility, inflammation control, oral-systemic health.
Careful tissue handling, gentle site preparation, and surgical technique designed to support comfortable healing.
Seats are intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the course — including the Friday evening dinner at Dr. Hart's home.
Actual SDS ceramic implant cases completed at Virginia Biological Dentistry, illustrating the clinical approach, surgical principles, and healed outcomes that will be explored throughout the course. During the live surgery, you will observe the surgical workflow in real time.
Real patients. Real outcomes. Cases from Dr. Olivia Hart at Virginia Biological Dentistry.
