Implantology Year Course

With Dr David Guy In Association With Biohorizons

Introduction
Implant treatment has now become firmly established within mainstream dentistry. Single tooth implants have, in many cases, become the standard of care in preference to conventional bridgework or dentures. The GDC has made clear its recommendations for the standard of training dentists must undertake to practise implants in general practice today. This course has been designed to provide a very high level of practical and theoretical training to give dentists the skills and confidence to provide implant treatment independently in general practice. No prior experience of implantology is required.

The Certificate in Implantology course credits you with 70 hours of verifiable CPD.
