Certificate in Implant Prosthodontics

(Level 7 Certificate & Non-Level 7 Options Available)

The 1-year qualification in Implant Prosthodontics comprises 11 modules delivered over one year through a blended learning approach. The course combines in-person seminars, practical sessions, and the potential opportunity to participate in live patient restorations (on your own / TTA’s patients) under the supervision of expert tutors, along with online webinars and tutorials.

Who Is It For?

The course is aimed at dentists who are new to implant dentistry, who seek to enhance their expertise in restoring implants, and who are not interested in the surgical side or placing implants. Must be GDC registered!

What to Expect?

The course combines theory with practical learning to ensure a holistic and engaging educational process. Dentists can expect to learn a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge related to the planning and restoration of dental implants. The curriculum is designed to provide a thorough understanding of implant prosthodontics, enabling dentists to integrate implant-based treatments into their practice.

It covers the key aspects of Implant Prosthodontics, such as Implant Occlusion, CBCT Training, Treatment Planning, Radiographic Stents, Digital Implant Techniques, Prosthetic Training for restoring single implants, bridges, overdentures and fixed arches, and Live Patient Implant Restorations.

Important Considerations for Implant Prosthodontics Delegates:

The Implant Prosthodontics course is closely integrated with the 1-Year Certificate in Dental Implantology, with Implant Prosthodontics delegates participating in 11 of the 14 modules, with additional online modules.

During the full 1-year Dental Implantology course delegates will place and restore implants under supervision during the live surgery sessions on the course, on their own / TTA’s patients. Signing up to complete the Implant Prosthodontics Certificate, there are no guarantees that you will be doing restorations on live patients during the practical sessions, as typically the delegate who placed the implant will also complete its restoration. If the implant-placing delegate cannot or chooses not to restore the implant, you will have the chance to perform the restoration.

Otherwise, on the course, during modules 4-11, you will observe the stages of implant restoration as part of the learning process, and if there are additional patients from TTA’s own marketing, then these patients can be restored by yourselves.

Additional Support:

Additionally, delegates have the opportunity to discuss clinical cases and receive feedback from our experienced tutors, in order to feel more equipped and confident in incorporating implant dentistry into their practice.

Do you guarantee patients on this course?

Signing up to complete the Implant Prosthodontics Certificate, there are no guarantees that you will be doing restorations on live patients during the practical sessions, as typically the delegate who placed the implant will also complete its restoration. If the implant-placing delegate cannot or chooses not to restore the implant, you will have the chance to perform the restoration. Otherwise, on the course, during modules 4-11, you will observe the stages of implant restoration as part of the learning process, and if there are additional patients from TTA’s own marketing, then these patients can be restored by yourselves.

Do I have to be registered with the General Dental Council?

As per national regulations to treat dental patients within the UK you are required to have a GDC registration. If you are a dentist from the outside of the UK, you can still come on our courses if you can submit a proof of your dental registration from your country. If you are not registered with the GDC we cannot let you treat patients on the course, however, you will still be allowed to observe. Not being able to treat patients under supervision means that as an international dentist you will not be able to complete key assessments for the Post graduate certificate/diploma and so cannot be awarded a qualification.

Can I treat my own patients on the course?

Yes, we encourage you to bring patients on this course so that you can treat them during modules 4-11. The more patients you bring, the more experience you can gain in learning to restore implants. Otherwise, on the course, during modules 4-11, you will observe the stages of implant restoration as part of the learning process, and if there are additional patients from TTA’s own marketing, then these patients can be restored by yourselves.

How much hands on is involved?

The course is split 50% theory, 50% practical. The first 3 days of the course involve a mixture of theory and demonstrations, including hands-on training with Prosthetic Models, Implant Models and treatment planning own cases. During modules 4-11, you will observe the stages of implant restoration as part of the learning process, and if there are additional patients from TTA’s own marketing, then these patients can be restored by yourselves.

If I have problems finding patients can you allocate them for me?

We cannot guarantee a provision of patients. What we are good at doing is training delegates to identify patients, help them to market treatments and assist treatment planning the case before delivering the treatment. If you don't have patients in mind don't worry. After the first few days you will be more aware and in a far better position to spot an implant restoration patient.

I have no experience in restoring implants, will that be an issue?

No! The course is aimed at dentists who are new to implant dentistry, who seek to enhance their expertise in restoring implants, and who are not interested in the surgical side or placing implants. Must be GDC registered!

Do we have finance for patients?

Unfortunately, we cannot provide finance for patients at the moment. We are working hard to have the right agreements in place and this will hopefully follow in due course.

How many CPD hours will I receive?

You will receive a minimum of 66+ CPD hours.

What system do we use?

We currently use the Dentsply Sirona Implant System.

How many patients can I bring/implants can I place?

Unlike some courses who add a per patient mentoring fee, we include mentoring fees within the overall course fee envelope. There is no limit to the amount of patients you bring or how many implants you place.

Are my patients given an appointment time?

The Implant coordinator will provide you with an appointment date and time for your patient. It will then be down to you to confirm this with your patient.

Professional Indemnity is too expensive?

Professional indemnity is based on your relationship and your record with your insurer. It is something that we can have no influence over. Any training organisation will want you to take professional indemnity. As we understand, if you have previously placed implants the expense is relatively low. As a responsible training organisation, we cannot recommend you to come on the course without professional indemnity.

What do I need on the course?

As this is a live patient course, you will need to provide proof of the correct level of professional indemnity. This must be submitted to the Implant Coordinator on the first day. You will be required to bring a laptop for the CBCT training day (Unit 1). For the CBCT training day you should download the the i-CAT Vision software here: https://ct-dent.co.uk/download/
