Overview

About the course

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 — 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.

What's included

Twelve days of teaching over roughly ten months
Three clinical days treating your own patients under supervision
Access to the ITI Online Curriculum and Classroom
Digital mentoring throughout the course
ITI Foundation Level Certificate on completion
Entry into a clinical mentoring network
