- It’s fascinating
It’s a wonderful combination of science and healthcare with boundless opportunities to learn new things and go to different places to see new things. If you plan to work until well into your 60’s, there are worse things you could do than focus your mind on trying to be good at implant dentistry and learning as much as you can.
- You get to meet amazing people
Not just from the patients that you meet (who are often utterly amazing) but the colleagues you can meet within implant dentistry and the places you can travel to learn, it’s a joy. A wonderful group of people, many (most) who are very ethical, honest and interested in providing the best possible work for their patients.
- It gives you the opportunity to design a new service
Taking more time with patients, spending time getting to know your patients and also planning your cases outside of surgery. Therefore, giving you a more rounded approach to clinical work including administrative time, planning time away from patients which forms part of your working week.
- The opportunity to get out of surgery for some of your week
In implant dentistry, you will be reporting CBCT scans, digitally planning cases, reading up on the latest techniques and writing reports. This forms part of your week and can build part of your patient’s implant treatment which allows you to get your nose off the grind stone and reduce your clinical sessions.
- It’s just fantastically enjoyable
If someone will pay you to work in a job like that then it won’t feel like work at all.
