The Unit
This standalone restorative unit is designed for dentists who want to deliver implant restorations from single units to full-arch cases without the surgical placement component. It is an ideal starting point for those new to implants in clinical practice, and a natural introduction to the full Diploma in Implant Dentistry programme.
Dentists trained in restorative implant dentistry can work alongside a trained and competent implant surgeon who places the implants, making this a genuinely practical, clinically relevant qualification from day one.
The course is built around restorative-driven thinking, covering digital and analogue workflows, occlusion, and effective dentist–laboratory communication. Learners complete a structured online theory module at their own pace, then attend a single hands-on training day working on implant models to convert that knowledge into practical skill.
CPD hours awarded.

Why This Course?
"The restorative phase is where implant treatment becomes a functional and aesthetic reality for the patient."
