The Perfect Single Implant Restoration?

A two-day masterclass with Dr Rhoodie Garrana exploring the realities of aesthetic-zone implant treatment, hard and soft tissue management, restorative planning and the clinical judgement required to deliver predictable single implant outcomes.

Not all single implant placements are the same.

A single upper anterior implant restoration may appear straightforward at first glance, but it is often one of the most demanding treatments in implant dentistry.

The aesthetic zone asks more of the clinician: better assessment, better planning, better tissue management, and a clear understanding of what is possible, predictable and appropriate for each patient.

This two-day masterclass uses the single anterior implant as a focused lens through which to explore hard tissue, soft tissue, restorative concepts, patient expectations and the judgement required to deliver high-quality implant outcomes.

Patient expectations continue to rise

Patients increasingly expect highly aesthetic, stable and natural-looking outcomes — particularly in the anterior region.

Tissue management affects long-term success

Hard and soft tissue decisions have a direct influence on biological stability, emergence profile and aesthetic integration.

Better judgement leads to better outcomes

Understanding what should be done — and what should not — is often more important than simply learning another technique.

Perfection is not always straightforward

This masterclass explores the realities of implant dentistry honestly — including limitations, compromises, complications and decision-making in the real world.

Experience-based teaching from a clinician working at the coal face of implant dentistry.

Dr Rhoodie Garrana is a Johannesburg-based specialist in periodontology, implantology and oral medicine, with a clinical focus on advanced implant rehabilitation, hard and soft tissue management and prosthetically driven treatment planning.

Working within a predominantly referral-based practice, his approach combines biological principles, surgical precision and restorative thinking to achieve predictable long-term implant outcomes in complex clinical situations.

His teaching is grounded in practical reality — helping clinicians improve decision-making, treatment planning, tissue management and execution in cases where aesthetic and biological expectations are high.

Patient Discussions & Expectations

Understanding communication, expectation management and treatment acceptance in aesthetic-zone implant cases.

Patient Assessment & Planning

Evaluating anatomy, tissue quality, risk factors and restorative requirements before treatment begins.

Hard Tissue Management

Exploring GBR concepts, bone management principles and surgical techniques used to support long-term implant stability.

Soft Tissue Concepts

Tissue manipulation, connective tissue grafting and techniques that support aesthetic integration and stability.

Restorative Thinking

Understanding how restorative goals influence surgical planning, implant positioning and tissue management.

Instrumentation & Execution

Reviewing the instrumentation, surgical workflow and clinical execution required for controlled implant surgery.

Case Discussion & Decision-Making

Honest discussion around complications, compromises and the clinical judgement behind treatment decisions.

Connective tissue grafting and aesthetic tissue management.

Day two focuses on soft tissue concepts within anterior implant dentistry, exploring the management of peri-implant tissues and techniques that contribute to aesthetic integration and long-term tissue stability.

The Rhoodie Garrana Masterclass will run across Belfast, Dundee and Nottingham in Autumn 2026. Secure your place before the end of June and receive £270 off the full course fee.

Entirely focused on the anterior single implant.

Rather than covering multiple disconnected topics, the course uses one of the most demanding procedures in implant dentistry to explore planning, tissue management, restoration and surgical execution in depth.

Hard tissue and soft tissue are taught together.

The programme avoids separating surgery from restoration or biology from aesthetics. Instead, it explores how these disciplines interact to influence long-term implant outcomes.

Honest discussion around compromises and complications.

Delegates will explore not only successful outcomes, but also the limitations, judgement calls and biological realities involved in everyday implant dentistry.

Where is the masterclass taking place?

The Rhoodie Garrana Masterclass is running as a three-location tour: Belfast at Marlborough Clinic on 29–30 October 2026, Dundee at Wrights Dental on 2–3 November 2026, and Nottingham at The Campbell Academy on 5–6 November 2026.

How does the early bird offer work?

The full course fee is £2,570 including VAT. If you book before 30 June 2026, you receive £270 off, reducing the fee to £2,300 including VAT.

Is this suitable for less experienced implant clinicians?

Yes. The programme is suitable for clinicians across different stages of implant practice. The focus is not simply on advanced surgery, but on understanding biological principles, planning and clinical decision-making.

Will the practical sessions be hands-on?

Yes. Delegates will participate in practical sessions focused on hard and soft tissue concepts, including tissue management, suturing and connective tissue grafting principles.

Are places limited?

Yes. Delegate numbers will be intentionally limited at each location to maintain the quality of discussion, interaction and practical learning throughout the programme.

Can restorative dentists attend?

Yes. The programme is highly relevant for restoring clinicians because restorative planning, emergence profile design and long-term tissue outcomes are central themes throughout the course.
