MINISH Technology Expands North American Presence with 18th Professional Training Course
The landscape of restorative dentistry is shifting toward a more conservative, patient-centric approach. Leading this transition is MINISH Technology, a health-tech company that recently concluded its 18th “MINISH Course” for dentists in the United States. Held from May 8 to 10, 2026, at the VITA North America training center in Orange County, California, the program marks a significant step in the company’s effort to establish a robust clinical and academic foundation in North America.
This latest session was designed as a formal regular course, granting participants Continuing Education (CE) credits. By facilitating direct clinical exchange and specialized training for U.S.-based dentists, MINISH Technology is actively broadening its collaborative network across the region.
Understanding the MINISH Approach: Biomimetic Restoration
At the core of the MINISH Course is the philosophy of Biomimetic dentistry. Unlike traditional veneers that often require significant removal of healthy tooth structure, the MINISH solution focuses on mimicking the natural properties and structure of the tooth to restore function and aesthetics with minimal intervention.
The official training curriculum is comprehensive, blending theoretical knowledge with intensive clinical practice. The program covers five critical stages of the restoration process:
- Preparation (Prep): Minimizing the impact on natural enamel.
- Scanning: Utilizing high-precision digital imaging for an exact fit.
- Bonding: Ensuring a durable, seamless attachment to the tooth.
- Occlusion: Aligning the bite to prevent long-term structural stress.
- Setting: The final placement and refinement of the restoration.
To date, MINISH Technology has conducted 18 of these specialized courses, resulting in a cumulative total of 446 certified graduates.
Academic Collaboration and Clinical Validation
The 18th course featured the participation of Reuben Kim, the Vice Dean of the UCLA School of Dentistry and an expert in conservative dentistry. As a Korean-American professional, Dr. Kim has been a key figure in fostering dental exchange between the U.S. And Korea.
According to the company, Dr. Kim’s involvement underscores a shared academic consensus regarding the direction of minimally invasive conservative treatment, aligning the MINISH clinical philosophy with established academic standards in the U.S.
Global Provider Network and Clinical Impact
The expansion into North America is part of a larger global strategy. The company has established a network of “MINISH Provider” clinics to ensure standardized, high-quality care. The current global distribution includes:

| Region | Number of Provider Clinics |
|---|---|
| Japan | 53 |
| South Korea | 44 |
| North America | 10 |
| Singapore | 1 |
| Total | 108 |
Within North America, the network consists of 10 locations: eight in California, one in Illinois, and one in British Columbia, Canada.
The clinical value of this approach is echoed by practitioners in the field. Dr. Ghina Morad, a clinic director in Redwood City, California, noted that the conservative nature of the treatment changes the conversation with patients. “I used to be cautious about recommending veneer treatment to young patients because of the burden of removing healthy teeth,” Dr. Morad stated. “I believe MINISH, which pursues a conservative treatment direction, is a method that can expand the options available to patients.”
Looking Ahead
MINISH Technology’s trajectory in the U.S. Began with a seminar in West Hollywood in May 2025, followed by a North American course in October of the same year. The company has indicated that it will continue to expand its partnerships with dental universities and industry leaders to further integrate its biomimetic solutions into mainstream dental practice and build a sustainable business infrastructure in the region.
