A comprehensive foundation in straightforward implant dentistry, giving you the confidence and competence to begin placing implants in your own practice.
The Year One Implant Course is the first stage of our Curriculum in Implant Dentistry, developed in partnership with the International Team for Implantology (ITI). It gives general dentists a thorough grounding in straightforward implant dentistry, covering the science, the planning, the surgery and the restoration, built around as much hands-on practice as possible.
We believe practical experience is essential: implant dentistry is a craft of science and art that has to be practised. The course includes work on models and pig heads, three clinical days treating your own patients under supervision, digital mentoring throughout, and a roadmap toward the ITI Diploma.
