If you are struggling with where to start with implantology this course is for you. We will cover the fundamentals of implant dentistry and how to get your practice started.

If you want to refresh anatomy and implant techniques, we will cover the latest research and best practices when it comes to surgical implantology. If you want to learn how to incorporate digital dentistry with your implant practice we will go over the options in scanners, implant guide software and 3D printing. Understand how to read 3D x-rays and plan safe and effective implant surgery. Want to take it to the next level and get your hands dirty? On the second day, we will do surgery on pig jaws to take the next step before moving on to your patients.
