This exciting and unique course has been developed for general dental practitioners who want to be able to restore single dental implants in their own practice.
The course will be delivered through a series of on-demand lectures, which will prepare delegates for a face-to-face hands-on training day, which will provide exposure to and experience with three leading dental implant systems, encompassing both conventional and digital impression workflows.
The course will be delivered by an expert panel of speakers, each with considerable experience of placing and restoring implants.
What to expect
The course theory will be covered through a series of specially created on-demand lectures, in total five hours and 30 minutes, which must be completed in advance of attending the practical training. Lectures will be available to view one-month prior to the practical training day.
The hands-on day will provide live demonstrations by the speakers and the opportunity for delegates to follow the same processes with the speakers on hand to answer questions.
Group size limited to 21 delegates.
