0:00 "The difference it's made to my career is astronomical"

Delegate testimonial: The difference it's made to my career is astronomical. I've been shot light years ahead into implant dentistry.

0:13 Welcome to the Implant Institute

Prof. Avik Dandapat, Educational Director: Hi, my name is Dr Avik Dandapat, and I'm the educational director of the Implant Diploma. I'd like to welcome everyone to the Implant Institute here in Twyford, near Reading.

0:27 How the programme works

Prof. Avik Dandapat: Our implant programme has been uniquely designed and perfected over the last 10 years of me teaching. It comprises of 12 modules. Each module is two days long. It will be done in a live clinic in the institute here in Twyford near Reading, and at every module, there'll be a live case that students can see and participate in during the course.

0:51 "I'd really recommend doing this course"

Delegate testimonial: It's a really good course, really well structured, lots of live cases, and I'd really recommend doing this course if you're on the fence whether you want to do an implant course, not sure which one to go for.

1:03 Real patients, the full journey

Dr Ania Nohawica-Heer, Course Tutor: So we are huge believers in both getting a really good amount of practical work on patients that are in the UK, patients who are consenting to the treatment, who are well aware of the treatment, patients who are then taken through the entire patient journey from planning, through placement to restoration, and the students are able to see all stages of that.

1:31 "You cannot go wrong"

Delegate testimonial: So I would say if you're really interested in implant dentistry, then you cannot go wrong with Avik's course. There's a lot of courses out there, but I don't think there's a better course than Avik's diploma.
