Overview
Build Confidence in Implant Surgery with Guided Mentoring - Live Patient Implant Surgery Course
One-of-a-kind course in Wellington, New Zealand
Place 8+ Implants
You will get to place at least 8 implants over the two days on live patients provided by us. Possibly more depending on the patient's need.
Mentored Procedures
We provide a mentor-to-attendee ratio of 1 to 2 for superior guidance on decision-making and minimal waiting.
Pre-planned Cases
All cases are planned in advance and surgical guides and plan are made for each case. Attendees can choose to place some implants freehand if desired.
Hands-on Training
All theory is taught online before the course so the two days can focus on practical, hands-on learning with repetition to maximize attendee learning outcomes.
Patient Supplied
Our clinical team in NZ will provide all patients that have been vetted as suitable and planned with surgical guides all printed and ready. You also have the option to bring your own patients.
Experienced DA's
You are supported by an experienced surgical dental assistant who is assigned to you for the full two days.
Follow-up Support
Get access to an alumni iDD WhatsApp group from when you enroll. See post-surgery follow-up and have support for implant case discussions as you tackle your first cases.
VIP Experience
Travel to the clinic in style with a VIP experience of hotel pickup/drop-off and a fine dining experience to conclude the course on Saturday night.
High-end Practice
Held in our personal state-of-the-art nine-chair dental practice with large surgical rooms, you will have all the tech, tools, and support around you to perform at your best.
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 surgical theory you need to get started.
To attend this course you need to be comfortable and competent in raising flaps, surgery, extractions and suturing. We will help you with the rest to gain confidence in implant surgery.

Secure your spot in the live patient implant mini-residency before it’s too late!
- These two-day mini-residencies are for any dentist who is looking to place implants on a live-patient for the first time, or wants to gain the confidence required to do it in their clinic.
- There is no prerequisite knowledge required, just a valid dental license. If you've never done any form of implant training before, Dr Ahmad will guide you through the entire workflow.
- 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.
- Day one is a lecture and prep day. You will take intraoral scans of a patient and use these to plan an implant surgery and create a 3D printed surgical guide for the Live Patient Implant Residency. For the Restorative Residency, you will take an intraoral scan of the patient and then design your restoration.
- Day two is for the live-patient surgery. You will place 2-3 implants for the live patient surgery course, or place your designed restoration for the Restoration Residency.
After finishing this course, you will leave as a dentist that is infinitely more confident in not only implantology but also surgery as a whole and digital technology.
You will walk away understanding the entire process from plan to implant 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. You will leave being able to confidently place implants for your patients.
