Ceramic Implant Academy
Australia’s Dedicated Training Centre for Ceramic Implant Dentistry
The Ceramic Implant Academy is a dedicated training and mentorship facility created to support clinicians who want to develop confidence, clarity, and clinical skill in ceramic implantology.
Founded by Dr Sam Talpis, the Academy provides structured, hands-on education in a real clinical environment. Our mission is to help raise the standard of ceramic implant treatment across Australia and beyond through practical training, clinical mentorship, and a commitment to excellence in education.
Our Philosophy
Ceramic implant dentistry requires more than simply changing the implant material. It requires careful case selection, an understanding of ceramic implant systems, respect for biology, precision planning, and a personalised approach to each patient.
Our training is designed to help clinicians integrate metal-free implant options in a way that is clinically sound, wellness-aligned, and focused on long-term function and aesthetics.
