Attn: General Dentists Looking to Begin Their Implantology Journey…
Implant surgery doesn't have to be intimidating
It's time to increase your confidence in implant surgery
and expand your scope of practice.
Fri 12th + Sat 13th May 2023 - Auckland, NZ
The secret to placing implants that don’t fail!
It is widely accepted that the best way to acquire knowledge and confidence in a skill relies on three pillars.
Solid theory + Repetitive hands-on practice + A knowledgeable instructor
Introduction to Implant Dentistry: The Fundamentals course
covers all those bases.
Solid Theory
This takes place on day one, with a detailed breakdown of all the fundamentals and how to integrate them into your practice. Everything from anatomy, implant design, surgical protocols, flap design and step by step breakdown of how to place an implant successfully.
We also touch on digital implantology and go over the options in scanners, implant guide software, and 3D printing. You will learn to recognise cases that are easy, moderate or best to send away.
Repetitive Hands-on
On day two of the course, you will do surgery on pig jaws to ensure that you are fully confident and capable before practising in your clinic. You’ll practice a wide range of implant techniques that are fully covered in the course outline section further down the page.
You are free to place as many implants as you want until you are totally confident with the procedure. Practice simple implant placement, immediate implants after extraction into a socket, socket grafting, membrane placement, and suturing techniques.
Knowledgeable Instructor
This course is run by one of New Zealand’s most respected dentists, who can put you on the path to success. Implantology can seem scary at first, but with the right training and someone guiding you through the entire process, your confidence will grow quickly.
You also have access to Dr Ahmad and Dewalt Strydom from Osstem after the course for any help you need. Dewalt is happy to travel to practices up and down the country to be there for your first surgery.

Everything is done in-house so he is experienced in both the clinical and lab side, including guided implantology software and photogrammetry.
Dr Ahmad understands the difficulty and fear that comes with learning how to place implants. He has been on his own journey to becoming confident with implantology and is fully empathetic to the learning process most dentists go through. Dr Ahmad is fully supportive throughout the learning process and can help you with almost any question you have about the procedure.
He has seen first-hand, through his own work, how adding dental implants to your service offering can improve daily dental practices as well as annual revenue.

I like the structure of the course. I like the practical side as well, and he's been awesome.
"The placements and the sequence of how to do the work? Also the criteria in terms of patient selection, the anatomical structures you need to be looking for here, how to do those spots"

the way he is explaining everything, It is simple and very practical, so that's what I like.
"The patients are, after extractions, they do not want bridges or the removable dentures anymore, they are more into that we want some permanent fix and they also wanted aesthetics. I think everything works out good with implants. So that actually led me to the implant course."
Kick-Start Your Implant Dentistry in Just Two Days
In just two days, you will leave feeling much more confident and capable of placing implants but more importantly, you'll understand core surgical knowledge and skills like raising flaps and suturing.
Even if you aren’t ready to dive head first into implant cases, you will see a clear pathway forward for integrating implantology in your practice.
This is one of the only dental implant courses in Australia and New Zealand that covers the digital implantology workflow as well. You will see how to use digital technology as a tool to lessen the learning curve and improve treatment outcomes.
Dr Ahmad is regarded internationally as an entertaining and engaging speaker. We realise that giving up part of your weekend to learn implantology isn’t the same as binging Netflix, so Dr Ahmad ensures the entire course is not only informative but engaging as well.
The course is capped at a small group, which ensures that everyone present gets the one-on-one time needed to fully understand each participant's needs and goals.
In just one weekend, you can learn the skills needed to massively expand your scope of treatment, give your patients the treatment they need and improve your clinic's overall revenue.
Plus, you’ll meet other local, like-minded dentists who you can lean on throughout your implantology journey.
Here’s what your life will look like when you learn implantology from Dr Ahmad and iDD
After the course, you will be able to confidently provide a treatment alternative to bridges and partial plates - because let’s face it, they are not always the best option for a large number of cases.
Gaining confidence in implants as a dentist not only unlocks a large range of new treatments, but it massively reduces workplace stress. You’ll feel a unique sense of pride when you’re able to look after all your patients in-house instead of referring them to a specialist.
- 1Increase revenue - Implantology is one of the highest dollar per hour treatments in dentistry. Introducing implantology has helped our clinic reach 7 figures per year in gross billings. It is hard to achieve this by doing drill and fill dentistry. Once you stop referring cases out that you can handle yourself, you’ll notice a massive increase in profitability and return on investment. If you integrate digital implantology (which is covered in the course), you’ll be able to tackle cases much more efficiently, meaning that you can see more patients in one day and further increase profitability.
- 2Improves your general dental skills - This implant course addresses the fundamentals of surgery, as such you’ll go back to the basics and learn a number of different skills that you can apply to different aspects of your dentistry such as wisdom tooth removal. Just by learning implantology, you’ll improve your knowledge and confidence in different treatments that rely on solid surgical skills.
- 3Reinvigorates your career - After a certain period of time, most dentists get extremely bored with simply placing crowns and doing check-ups. Don't get me started with doing fillings all day! Ensure that your career doesn’t stagnate by learning a new procedure that benefits you as well as your patient.
- 4Boosts your reputation - After a few successful implant cases, you’ll start to be known locally as a dentist that can offer a wide range of treatments, and your incredible cases will make fantastic content for your personal social media, or for your practice. There are dentists who have built their practice around implant referrals from colleagues.
- 5Attracts more patients - Having a hard time filling your books? Learning how to place implants is a great way to appeal to more patients by expanding your scope of practice. If a patient comes in with an unrestorable decoronated tooth and wants it replaced, right there and then the tooth can be removed and an implant placed. Minimizing time wasting for both the patient and the dentist.
Remember, you’re not just learning how to do implants.
You’re investing in your career, increasing the amount of money you can earn, and providing your patients with potentially life-altering treatment.
