Getting Started With Dental Implants – Is it for me? – PDP051

Dental Implant courses for Dentists are a significant pathway in terms of commitment. Have you ever attended a Dental course and not applied the knowledge…and then a few months or years later - you felt it was an absolute waste? For example, I did a laser course last year - I have hardly touched a laser since then - its my own fault and I take ownership of that...but what if the stakes were higher? https://youtu.be/rXYARG13AEQ Is it too soon to start Implants...? Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Implant courses are not a small investment and I know some Dentists who have invested heavily in implant training…but they never quite got going. Whatever the reason, it's sad. This is why I recorded with Implant Dentist Dr Hassan Maghaireh who is going to help us over 2 episodes to cover this mammoth topic. In this episode we look at getting started with implants - is it for you? https://youtu.be/dSgGnoTyC1c Should you be placing Implants?

This two-part series aims to help you even if you are not placing or restoring implants, we're going to cover the fundamentals and scratch in itch we have all had since qualifying from Dental school with limited exposure to Implants!
