This diploma equips implant dentists with the skills for long-term care

Overview

The PG Diploma in Advanced Techniques in Implant Dentistry has come about because hard and soft tissue augmentation is an essential part of our training in implant dentistry.

In our efforts to define a pathway for implant dentists, one which would bring us all to as similar path in our training we have taken from the best trainers in the world the topics that are current ,but mostly those techniques and skills that the next level implant dentists will need to have within their armamentarium to deal with the bone and soft tissues defects that present themselves to us in our daily practice.

This together with the emerging peri-implantitis the implant dentists of the future will need a significant training to tackle these dilemmas that they will face on a daily basis from a biological standpoint and with the surgical, digital, diagnostic and restorative skills that will inevitably be required.

This diploma is designed to equip the implant dentists with the skills and knowledge that is required to carry out all of the hard and soft tissue procedures, that will need to be employed together with a rigorous maintenance regime for the long-term.

This diploma is the way forward and is in line with the ideals of the College of General Dentistry. It is hoped that once this part of the pathway for implant dentistry is completed that you will complete the training by taking the Fellowship (CGD) which will ultimately complete this pathway. 

Dedicated teaching facilities in Harley Street, Central London and meets the required educational criteria for verifiable CPD.

Practicals

We teach a comprehensive practical evidence based programme, with half of the teaching time delivered as live surgery and prosthetics. We use animal tissue, human tissue, models and bone materials. This course also offers one to one mentoring for live surgery.

Dr Scott Phillips

I became aware of Dr Khan-Osborne when she was recommended by one of her mentees. After a short phone call with her, I felt that she and One to One Education were the perfect choice for me to start my implant career with. I felt that she fully understood what I wanted to achieve, and her experience and knowledge would help me get there.
