Suojärvi & Pallonen Academy

We are already the go-to clinic for complex and aesthetically demanding implantology and prosthodontics, known for solving even the most challenging cases with predictability and sustainability.

However, with only two hands each, we can only treat a limited number of patients directly. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing our expertise, knowledge, and treatment philosophy with fellow dental professionals.

Our goal is to help dentists excel and become the go-to provider of high-quality, practical, and up-to-date training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthetic dentistry, and implantology. By enhancing the skills of dental professionals, we aim to improve patient care, well-being, and quality of life.

Together, we can raise the standard and predictability of implant treatments, benefiting patients far beyond our own practice.
