Dr. Michel G. Poirier obtained his doctoral degree in dental medicine in 1977. For the benefit of his increasing number of patients, his ultimate goal was to learn as much as possible by completing a level 5 rehabilitation certification at the prestigious Pankey Institute in 1993. He additionally complemented an implantology fellowship at Misch International Implant Institute in 1995.
In 2002, Dr. Poirier received first prize for his presentation on progressive bone loading during the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, held in Montreal. Dr. Poirier graduated from Albert Einstein College of Medicine (New-York) in 2002, in intravenous sedation. He also received specialized training on bone grafting, from Dr. Vassos of Edmonton, Alberta and Dr. Par Allen and Carl Misch of USA.
Dr. Poirier is also a graduate from Las Vegas Institute (LVI) in neuromuscular and aesthetic dentistry. In addition, he is the founder and a key speaker at l’Académie St-Pierre (post-graduate training for dentists on general and neuromuscular dentistry).
Dr. Poirier’s practice is totally oriented towards complete rehabilitation and implantology.
