MIT Complete: Implant Surgery and Prosthetics Description
This dental continuing education program is for general dentists who want to incorporate implant dentistry into their practice.
The program includes an online and on-demand component to cover the didactic content. Watch the recorded lessons Anytime and Anywhere. The course starts every day!
It also includes:
- 12 months of mentorship through Power Hours. We host webinars every two weeks where clinicians share cases with our Mentors, who review them, give feedback, help with case planning, share tips and tricks on handling complications, and answer any questions! These Power Hours are an integral part of the 12-month MIT program. We mentor our clinicians in this intimate setting so they are confident to implement what they learn into their practices.
- Access to Recorded Implant Power Hours
- An in-person, Hands-On Dental Implant Training event with GDM’s renowned clinicians and distinguished global educators.
- Full access to our Surgical Video Library
