    Check Out the Feedback From Our Attendees!

    My confidence has gone quite a lot just from the first day.

    "[This course] blew my expectations out of the water... It was just really good to relax, get in the mindset and concentrate on doing my best.

    I think the original plan was for me to place three and I did all five of them on the patient. So, It went along a lot faster than I expected, and a lot smoother than I expected too. I think my confidence has gone up quite a lot, just by the first day... Can’t complain at all!"

    I feel so confident like I'm bursting with adrenaline

    "I was expecting to just place two or three implants in the whole two days course and that was also a pretty much reasonable expectation I had. But I ended up actually placing 10 or 11 of them. I can't even count 11 implants, and out of them one was full upper arch all on six where it's technically more advanced than the basic...

    ... I think they both made it possible for me. I feel so confident like I'm bursting with adrenaline and I just wanna go and do something now."

    Very happy with things in terms of value for money in terms of time as well.

    "It's fantastic. Dr. Hamid and Dr. Ahmad together, their experience with implants is massive. They know the whole process. They've gone through all the complications themselves so they're really just trying to fast track us. Give as much of their expertise and pass it to us.

    Very happy with things in terms of value for money in terms of time as well."

    The facilities here, the DA, the equipment, everything's top-notch.

    "The first was, it was nerve wracking even though I sort of knew what I was in for, but second one, lot more easier. once I got used to all the componentry, all the tools, Ahmad and Hamid walking in and out of the room checking us, giving us support we need.

    The facilities here, the DA, the equipment, everything's top-notch. The DA was so familiar with the procedure. They're ready for the next step. You can tell everything's been streamlined here, so it's a good place to come just to see how they do things."

    Here’s what your life will look like when you learn implantology from iDD

    By the end of this course, you'll have the confidence and practical expertise to deliver exceptional implant restorations for your patients. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your skills and stay ahead in the field of implant dentistry.

    1. 1
      Increase 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.
    2. 2
      Improves 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.
    3. 3
      Reinvigorates 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.
    4. 4
      Boosts 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.
    5. 5
      Attracts 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 implant restoration. 

    You’re investing in your career, increasing the amount of money you can earn, and providing your patients with potentially life-altering treatment.

    Naenae Dental Clinic - New Zealand

    The course will be taking place at 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.

    Secure your spot in the live patient implant restorative mini-residency before it’s too late!

    • These two-day mini-residencies focuses on giving you the confidence and practical expertise to deliver exceptional implant restorations for your patients.
    • This course is right for you if you have done a beginners implant hands-on course like our Introduction to Implant Dentistry - The Fundamentals where you practice on pig jaws and get trained in all the implant and surgery theory you need to get started.
    • This is one of the only implant courses in Australia and New Zealand that will teach you the entire digital workflow so you can provide safer and more effective surgery.
    • Be guided and mentored by Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny and Dr. Hamid Al-Hassiny, highly qualified and experienced implant dentists, while being supported by experienced dental technicians.

    After finishing this course, you will leave as a dentist that is infinitely more confident in not only implant restorations as a whole and digital technology. 

    You will walk away understanding the finishing process of implant treatments 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.

    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 mini-residencies right for you?

    Is the course in-person or online?

    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.

    Will I get access to the teaching material?

    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.

    I’m not really interested in digital implantology but want to learn how to place implants, is this course for me?

    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.

    Who will be teaching me?

    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.

    See what previous student have said about him here.

    Is there a completion certificate or credential offered upon finishing the course?

    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.

    Are there any prerequisites for the course?

    This course is right for you if you have done a beginners implant hands-on course like our Introduction to Implant Dentistry - The Fundamentals where you practice on pig jaws and get trained in all the implant and surgery theory you need to get started.

    How long are the mini-residencies?

    These mini-residencies will begin at 8:30 am and ends at 5pm each day.

    Will there be any hands-on training or clinical experience included in the course?
