What is the AAID Continuing Education Program?
Today’s clinician has many options when it comes to dental implant education. Many of these courses are 1- or 2-day programs on a particular topic, often held over the weekend. While these courses offer a great introduction to the implant field, they are not designed to provide comprehensive knowledge of the diagnostics and intricacies of implant dentistry.
In contrast, the AAID MaxiCourses are 300-plus hour comprehensive implant courses that will set your implant foundation. These non-commercial courses are comprised of lectures, live surgery demonstrations, hands-on sessions, and in-depth reviews of surgical and prosthetic protocol. Our participants leave these courses with a solid understanding of diagnostic and treatment modalities that they can immediately apply to their practices. Moreover, our faculty guidance does not end after the course; they are available for post-course mentorship to help you implement your newfound skills. These mentoring opportunities will allow you to reach your next level of success with implant dentistry.
What is the AAID Boot Camp?
One of the most popular courses offered at Alabama Implant Education is a week-long boot camp that gives dentists the chance to immerse themselves in implant placement and learn everything they need to know about placing implants in abundant bone. This course offers the perfect balance of didactic learning and hands-on implant surgery training for beginner implantologists. The staff at Alabama Implant Education is also great at accommodating requests for specific surgeries that a doctor might need some more practice with. This is a wonderful course and one that I would definitely recommend to any AEGD who wants to learn more about placing implants! Thank you! -Dr. McCracken. AEGD, San Antonio, TX
