will house the Pikos Implant Institute opening this November. General dentists and oral surgeons from around the world will come to Trinity, Florida to learn advanced bone and soft tissue grafting surgical techniques from Dr. Pikos, who has been teaching since 1990 and who founded the Pikos Implant Institute in 1991. Through the Pikos Implant Institute, Dr. Pikos has shared his knowledge and fine-tuned surgical techniques with more than 2,700 dental clinicians in all 50 states
