It runs over 10 weekend modules, totalling 72 hours of verifiable CPD, plus approximately 600 hours of guided self-study, reading, and casework.
Our course is designed to take the inexperience dental practitioner to the level of simple implant placements, including appropriate planning, placement, and restoration. This will include simple bone grafting. We will however include topics for theoretical knowledge such as sinus lifts and inevitably some cases will require some element of bone augmentation or sinus lifting. However, we will recommend further training for complex procedures, and if you are looking for a course specifically centred around more complex procedures, then please have a look at other Post Graduate courses centred around complex cases, or specific topics or speak to our tutor who will gradually guide you.

We aim to mentor all our course participants through 10 cases, 10 single implant placements. You will source your own patients who we will mentor the planning, surgery, and restoration with you. Ideally the mentoring is carried out in our clinics where the patients receive a discount fee for the surgery and the clinic retained the fee, meaning the mentorship costs our delegates no extra fees. The minimum cases we wish you to complete is 5 to get the final certificate. There will be no time limit on the mentored cases. We realise some deleg
Patients are sourced from your own place of work; this is important aspect of the course if teaching you how to find Implant patients in your own clinic and which cases are suitable for implant treatment. We will help treatment plan all your cases help select which cases are suitable for the course. We will guide you through the process of planning, selecting correct techniques, and carrying out both the surgical and restorative aspects of each case.
We ideally would encourage everyone to attend 100% of the module days but we live in the real world and realise this will not be possible due to sickness, life events, or emergencies. We appreciate your situation, and often we too have been in similar situations on training courses. We offer 2 solutions which we hope you will find satisfactory. The first is to repeat the module with the next cohort, however this holds your completion of the course back (being early in the calendar will have less effect). The second is to receive hard copies of the lectures, and associated homework, and at the next modules try to catch up the practical aspects with the option of attending the module you missed in the following cohort as revision still included. The last module we have an open practical which would help also to cover the content. In the second option we would foresee you completing the course as normal, and the attendance at the module in the 2nd cohort would be for completeness. This work well for missing one module, however in the situation with repeated modules missed or long periods of absence, we would offer you a place in the modules or the entire course again in the following year.
The focus is on simple implant placements with some bone grafting. Theoretical knowledge of advanced procedures (e.g. sinus lifts) is covered, but complex cases require further training.
Total hours for the 10 modules is 72 hrs verifiable CPD.
