Lacking the confidence to start placing implants?
Dr Ahmad Al-Hassiny will supervise and guide you with a live patient so you feel fully confident placing implants in your clinic.
We've held many implant courses before. Dentists will leave the course feeling confident but not quite ready to start practising on a live patient.
This course is designed to allow you to practice implants on a live patient in a safe and controlled environment. You can bring your own patient, or we will provide one for you.
Dr Ahmad will be with you the whole time and can offer guidance tailored to your experience level. If you have never done a hands-on implant training course before, he will guide you through the entire workflow.
This course is limited to just 6 places to ensure every participant gets the attention and support they require.

The secret to placing implants confidently!
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 covered all those bases.
Solid Theory
This takes place on day one, with a breakdown of all the live patient treatment workflow and how to integrate it into your practice. Everything from anatomy, implant planning, surgical guide design and step by step guidance of how to place an implant successfully.
You will utilise digital technology to take a CBCT and intraoral scans of a live patient, and then use those scans to plan an implant surgery and design a 3D printer surgical guide that you will use in the surgery the very next day.
Repetitive Hands-on
In this course, you will place 2-3 implants utilising a range of surgery techniques. You will place some implants freehand, and use a surgical guide for others. We'll teach you the whole spectrum of implant surgery and how to utilise digital technology to make the operation safer and more accurate. You will be supervised the entire time by expert instructors.
Knowledgeable Instructor
This course is run by one of New Zealand’s most respected dentists, in a state of the art clinic, 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.
Sample the Implant Course Lecture Content
As an attendee you get lifetime access to our digital implantology bundle. Below is a sample from just one of the courses, Introduction to Implant Dentistry: The Fundamentals.
Dr Ahmad Al-Hassiny
Digital Dentist and CAD/CAM Educator
Learn implantology from one of the leading KOLs in NZ
Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny is a global leader in digital dentistry and intraoral scanners, carrying out lectures as a KOL for many companies and industry heavyweights.
He uses multiple different implant brands in his clinic, including BioHorizons, Osstem, Neoss, and Nobel Biocare. Dr Ahmad has placed everything from single implants and implant bridges to immediate implants, free-hand or fully guided depending on the case. 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. His presentation style is zero fluff, straight to the point and only things that you NEED to know to get started in implant dentistry.

Check Out the Feedback From Our Attendees!
it has ticked every check box, of what I'm wanting to learn.
"to have this specific field as part of the service I can offer to my patients and absolutely making myself as a better dentist with more knowledge about how to restore them, safely and precisely ...
... after attending these two days of courses, he opened a whole new door for me to know how actually we should learn more into this to be able to offer this service to my patients."
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.
You will complete successful implant surgery under the supervision of trained professionals and leave the course feeling confident and ready to implement implant surgery in your clinic.
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.
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.

However, you could miss out on this implant course
Whenever we run an implant course, we purposefully keep attendance low because we want to ensure everyone that participates gets the attention and guidance they deserve.
This course has strict attendance limits, we won’t be opening more spots to meet the demand.
If you’re looking to learn about implantology from one of the best in New Zealand, you don’t want to miss this opportunity.
Only 6 places are available for both the Live Patient and Restorative Live Patient Course.
The course will be taking place in Naenae Dental Clinic in Wellington, New Zealand. Naenae is a high-tech 10 chair dental clinic that prides itself on utilising digital technology to offer patients the best care possible.
The clinic frequently completes dental implants, implant supported bridges, All-on-X and other implant procedures.

After finishing this course, you will leave as a dentist that is infinitely more confident in not only implantology but also surgery as a whole and digital technology.
You will walk away understanding the entire process from plan to implant and post-op care. You will understand exactly what equipment, workflows, and processes you will need to apply in your practice to make this work. You will leave being able to confidently place implants for your patients.
If you have any questions about the course, you are more than welcome to contact our support team at support@instituteofdigitaldentistry.com
Are these Live Patient Implant Courses right for you?
Both mini-residencies are in-person at Naenae Dental Clinic in Wellington, New Zealand. As part of your purchase, you are granted access to iDD's Digital Implantology bundle, valued at over $2,597 USD.
You’ll also get access to a pre recorded lecture of the theory component of this course online through our training portal - forever.
This will allow you to fully concentrate on the course and not feel overwhelmed trying to remember everything or you can watch it ahead of time and be more prepared for the live course.
You can refer back to the material whenever you need it.
While the course will touch on digital implantology and how it can lessen the learning curve and improve your treatment outcomes, it is only a section of the course and not a focus. You will be in a much better position than people who just attend an implant course, as you will get a much more comprehensive understanding of implantology and how digital technologies can help you.
Additionally, you will actually use these digital technologies - as well as traditional techniques - to plan an implant surgery or design a restoration. You can use this experience to determine if you'd like to stick to traditional implant techniques or implement digital dentistry in your clinic.
You will be learning from Dr Ahmad Al-Hassiny, a key opinion leader in the digital dentistry industry who has been placing implants. He has been placing implants for over 5 years and uses multiple different implant brands in his clinic, including BioHorizons, Osstem, Neoss, and Nobel Biocare. Dr Ahmad has placed everything from single implants and implant bridges to immediate implants, free-hand or fully guided depending on the case.
Dr Ahmad understands that learning implant surgery can be overwhelming, and offers tailored advice for each participant so you can feel confident implementing what you’ve learned in your clinic. Dr Ahmad’s teaching style is extremely engaging, he teaches you everything you need and avoids complicated jargon so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
Yes, you will get a CPD certificate with 14 hours of CPD, plus the online content provides more opportunity for CPD, provided you complete the courses.
There is no prerequisite knowledge required. You must be a New Zealand registered dentist.
