Full Digital Workflow: Implant Planning and Guided Placement
Wellington, New Zealand
One of a Kind Training in Implant Dentistry
In this course you will learn the entire digital workflow to plan and place an implant accurately on live patients. Learn from over 10 Years of Implant Surgical Experience with Dr Hamid Al-Hassiny in this unique course in which you will go through the entire workflow including Intraoral Scanning, CBCT, Implant Planning, Implant Guide Design, 3D Printing, and Guided Implant Placement.
During this Live Patient Training you will be taught key aspects of Implant Planning and Placement including:
One on One Training
You will be mentored by experienced dentists who will guide you clinically and give you real world feedback and insights into Implant Dentistry.
Live Patient Hands-On
You will apply everything you are taught about Implant Surgery in a Real Clinic Setting with patients provided for you to practice.
Advance Faster
Learn from clinicians with thousands of hours of Implant and Digital Dentistry experience so you can fast-track your learning within 2 days.
This course focuses on comprehensive CPD rather than placing many implants blindly. We are here to teach you the entire digital workflow and to carefully understand Implant Planning and Surgical Guidelines. By the end of the course you will be involved in the placement of at least 4 implant fixtures and you will have a strong grasp of implant theory, planning and surgical placement.

What Dentists are saying
What do our past course attendees think of our training?
A Highly RECOMMENDED course unique to New Zealand. The Institute of Digital Dentistry presented by Hamid Al-Hassiny and his sons, Ahmad and Haidar all have great CHARACTER. COMMENDATION to a well balanced informative lecture base and hands-on touch. An ENDORSEMENT to an unbiased, peer to peer family approach. Digital Scan, Design, Mill in one appointment is the future, so DO NOT get left behind.
State of the art practice, equipment and one on one training. The introduction to multiple popular CAD/CAM systems in use by the whole team was commendable. I highly recommend Institute of Digital Dentistry.
Amazing courses, the best way to see multiple different digital scanning and milling systems in action. I can’t recommend the Institute of Digital Dentistry highly enough for dentists interested in starting digital dentistry.
I do definitely recommend these courses. It gives you a really good summary of all the CAD/CAM systems including TRIOS and CEREC, different types of mills and materials, so you get a good overview that’s unbiased.
This course offers an unbiased overview of many different systems. If you want to get into CAD/CAM and you don’t know where to start, this is the place.
There are no courses in NZ that understand and embrace the future of dentistry quite like Dr Ahmad and his staff at iDD. Nothing like a course where you can learn to scan, design, mill and even glaze your own CAD/CAM restorations using many different systems! Dr Ahmad spares nothing in order to achieve the greatest results in dentistry and it is evident in both the equipment and the knowledge he has acquired in his practicing career. He holds nothing back and I feel like I have come out of the course not only confident that I would be able to do this in the mouth but also a better clinician. 5/5 would recommend
The course was an eye-opener for me, as it was held in a real clinical environment. I really loved the way the course was held, enthusiasm from the speakers and energetic staff. Dr Hamid and his sons were all about sharing knowledge about digital dentistry and encouraging the participants of the course.
The course was great. It’s been good to try out the new scanners to see what the new mills can do. The team is really enthusiastic, and I’d certainly recommend this course to anyone who would like to see what you can do with CAD/CAM dentistry.
This is a course I can recommend to any dentist wanting to know how and where to start with CAD/CAM. I know the journey of CAD/CAM continues to develop and evolve and I know the iDD will be right there beside it!
I recommend these courses to everyone who is looking to up-skill their day to day practice and learn CAD/CAM.
Knowing which machine to use when, whether one machine is going to be too slow or not accurate enough… it’s a minefield out there. If you’re on the fence [about iDD], you need to jump in and do it, because at the end of the day, dentistry is all going digital. Everything coming out now is digitally-based. It looks so much better, and it’s nicer for patients. So, if you want to be giving patients the best treatment, you need to get onto the course and have all the experience you can to take that to your practice.
It’s been so beneficial. Not only do you get to learn how to do everything, but you get exposure to all the different systems. I’ve learnt that I could do so much more. I had only been doing single crown restorations. I was scared to do anything else, just because of time pressure. But iDD has given me the confidence I need to do so much more.
I am grateful for your expert knowledge which you have passed on to make my digital workflow much more efficient from scanning to milling and maintenance. A very well structured course.
Dr Hamid and the team are without a doubt leaders in the field of CAD/CAM and Digital Dentistry. There is no better place to learn CAD/CAM than the Institute of Digital Dentistry. The dentists here use the technology daily in the practice and this shows in the courses which was an excellent learning experience.
Unbiased and pragmatic approach to CAD/CAM dentistry designed for GDPs by GDPs. Great niche and I am greatly looking forward to more courses.
