I have been fortunate to learn and fine tune the art of teaching implant dentistry through our alumni who have successfully graduated from our program. I invite you to benefit from the years of accumulated teaching experience of our world renowned faculty.
Our Learner-based curriculum has helped our delegates to rapidly incorporate implant dentistry into their practices and many have gone on to practicing advanced procedures, lecturing at major symposia and teaching their peers.
We guarantee to provide you with the best of unbiased education, unparalleled hands-on experience and above all to make you a fine dental implant practitioner.Witness the “benefits of several systems” in one systematic curriculum and we will help you in your decision making process of selecting the ideal system for your practice since there is no one company in the market today that can satisfy all the needs of your patients.
The AAID is about education and credentialing and we believe that quality education can be accomplished only through a multi-modal approach.This course will prepare you to obtain the only bona fide credentials attainable in Implant Dentistry in the world.
