As a dentist who has spent years navigating the complexities and rewards of implant dentistry, I am genuinely excited to be hosting the Confidence in Implant Dentistry event this November.
It provides an incredible opportunity to transform how you approach implants, whether you place them yourself or work alongside a colleague who does. This day is designed to inspire, educate and empower you to elevate your practice in ways that truly benefit your patients and your business.
Why this event?
You might be wondering, ‘Why should I attend this event?’ The answer is simple: it is about taking your practice to the next level, regardless of your current involvement with implants. What motivated me to host this event is twofold.
Firstly, the quality of the companies involved – Planmeca, EMS and Bien-Air – companies I have personally relied on for years. I trust them completely, which means I can stand before you with integrity and confidence.
Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, this event is special because there is no implant company driving it. This is not about selling you on a particular implant system; it is about helping you improve the service you provide to your patients, no matter which systems you use.
We will be there to guide you in building confidence in implant dentistry, showing you that there are ways to offer incredible care and improve your practice’s financial health – even if you do not place implants yourself.
What you’ll learn
The day is structured to be practical and applicable, focusing on every aspect of the patient journey. From the initial conversation to diagnosis, planning and maintenance, we will cover it all.
For instance, we will discuss how to identify patients in your practice who could benefit from implants, something I learned to do by shifting my mindset.
For years, I referred all implant cases out, but when I realised I could manage the journey in-house, everything changed. Our event will show you how to do this seamlessly, even if you are not the one placing the implants.
We will also dive into the technology that makes implant dentistry more predictable and successful. Tools like Planmeca’s CBCT imaging, which I use in my practice, allow us to plan with incredible precision. We will explore how to integrate these tools into your workflow, ensuring that you can offer your patients the best possible outcomes while streamlining your operations.
But it is not just about the technical side. Communication is a critical part of patient care, and I will share how mastering this skill has more than doubled our practice’s acceptance rate for implant treatments. By understanding what truly motivates your patients – whether it is confidence, attractiveness or comfort – you can connect with them on a deeper level and provide the solutions they really need. This not only improves patient satisfaction but also significantly boosts your practice’s success.
Insight and networking opportunities
This event also offers an incredible opportunity to engage with experts and peers who have successfully integrated implants into their practices. You will hear from brilliant speakers like Dr Aly Virani, who will discuss single-tooth implants, and Dr Emanuele Clozza, who will cover full-mouth and full-arch implants. These are the extremes of implant dentistry, from the everyday to the transformative, and understanding both can greatly benefit your practice.
Moreover, we will delve into the two main causes of implant failure – parafunctional activity and bacteria – and how to prevent them. With insights from SDA Trainers, Jolene Pinder and Louise Warden, on guided biofilm therapy (GBT) and other maintenance strategies, you will leave with a comprehensive understanding of how to keep your patients’ implants healthy for the long term.
Don’t miss out!
Whether you are an associate, a principal, a novice in implants, or a seasoned pro, there is something for everyone at this event. You will walk away with new skills, fresh insights, and the confidence to enhance your implant services. For those who are not currently offering implants, this could be the catalyst you need to start. For those who are, it is a chance to refine your approach and see even better results.
Ultimately, this event is about strengthening your practice, improving patient outcomes, and growing your business. I truly believe that if I can make these changes in my practice, anyone can. I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you and helping you discover how to achieve similar success.
So, if you are ready to take your implant dentistry to the next level, I encourage you to join us. It is going to be a day filled with valuable learning, networking, and most importantly, inspiration. Let’s elevate the way we care for our patients together.
