Course Description
Our North West and London based Implant Dentistry Course is one of the UK's longest established courses. It is now in its 18th successful year of delivery, helping dentists to integrate the discipline of Implantology into their practice.
With more patients than ever opting for dental implants over traditional approaches, mastering dental implants represents a significant growth opportunity to practices across the UK.
The GDC's policy statement on implant states clearly that a 'UK-qualified dentist would not be expected to be competent to practise implant dentistry without undertaking structured postgraduate training and assesment of competence' For 2012 our improved Implant Course provides the opportunity to place implants on live patients within a structured programme. The course will help cement the relationship between the prosthodontist, surgeon, dental laboratory and implant system provider to achieve the best results possible.
Course Aims
The main aims of our Dental Implant training course are to:
• Give you the skills and confidence to tackle dental implant treatments
• Help you to place dental implants on live patients in the first few days of the course
• Provide you with helpful marketing advice for offering implant treatments at your practice
Why Tipton Training's Implant Course?
As part of our 15 day Implant course, delegates are invited to treat their own patients under the auspices of Tipton Training Ltd and the supervision of our experienced implant surgeon, Dr Eugene Marais. These surgical are immenslely stimulating. Some dentists place and restore their first implants with us. Others learn more complex procedures. Observation days also help to enrich our delegates' experience.
2012 also sees the introduction of surgical clinics to provide our Alumni with on-going support through their early years of implant placement. By arrangement, our surgeons can visit your practice to assist you in tackling more complex placements.
Course Benefits
Increased earning potential
Not currently covered under the NHS, Dental Implant treatments represent a significant growth opportunity Performing just one extra treatment a month could mean that the course pays for itself!
Place dental implants on live patients in the first few days of the course
Previous implant course delegates who have had the skills, knowledge and confidence to place implants have gone from placing 0 to 15 dental implants in the first few days of course!
Re-coup your course fees by treating your own patients
We strongly recommend that you bring one or more of your patients for dental implant treatment under the auspices of the course. Your patient can pay for the prosthetic part of the treatment. This can represent great value for potentially price sensitive patients and can subsidise or cover all your own course fees!
Receive valuable mentoring during and after the implant course
Attendance on our Implant Dentistry course is strictly limited to ensure that delegates receive the personal attention and instruction needed. We also offer on-going mentoring for delegates to help you after the course has ended.

I placed nine implants within the first six days of the course. Paul and Ibs have given me the skills to dramatically increase my income.
Dr Marius Swanepoel
The course gave me the confidence and knowledge to start placing and restoring implants for my own patients. On a purely business basis the course was a sound investment having paid for itself many times within the first year.
