The Implant Course will provide implant training that exceeds the new GDC training requirements. The course is ideally suited for any General Dental Practitioner wishing to develop their knowledge of implant dentistry and is designed for dentists with little or no experience in implant dentistry.

Throughout this course participants will receive extensive teaching enabling them to diagnose and treatment plan cases to provide predictable implant dentistry in practice as an integral part of comprehensive patient care they offer.
