Symphony Orchestra Academy (Orchestra) — Global Training for Dental Professionals
At WestDent Supply Group, we believe clinical excellence comes not just from quality products, but from informed, well-trained clinicians. As proud distributors of Symphony Implant, we are also aligned with Symphony’s educational initiative — Symphony Academy / Orchestra — a global program offering specialized training courses across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
What Is Symphony Orchestra / Symphony Academy?

This program is designed to deliver hands-on, immersive training to dentists, implantologists, and laboratory technicians across continents.
In countries across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Symphony organizes training courses, workshops, masterclasses, and certification programs that cover every stage of implant-based dentistry, from diagnosis and digital scanning to guided surgery and prosthetic restoration.
