If you’re a dentist who wants to expand your expertise in implantology, Dental Implants: The Course offers an opportunity to completely change (for the better) your practice. This hands-on, immersive course isn’t just about fulfilling CE (Continuing Education) requirements – it’s designed to refine your skills, making a real impact on patient care.
Below, we address key questions about AGD CE Credits, covering what to expect in certification, credit hours, and the value of this in-depth experience.
1. How Many AGD CE Credits Will I Earn?
Each participant in Dental Implants: The Course earns 32 AGD PACE-accredited CE credits upon completion. The AGD’s Program Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) accreditation ensures you’re meeting a trusted standard in professional education.
This isn’t just another course to check off – these credits demonstrate your commitment to advanced learning, a mark of quality recognized across the dental field.
2. What Is PACE Accreditation, and Why Does It Matter?
PACE accreditation provides a level of assurance, making sure courses like ours meet both AGD standards and the requirements of most state boards. With these credits, you’re meeting licensure obligations with high-quality, widely accepted training.
Essentially, PACE accreditation is a promise that the skills you’ll develop here are backed by rigorous quality standards trusted by dental professionals across the U.S.
3. What Skills and Procedures Will the Course Cover?
We structured this course to make sure you’re ready to bring new techniques back to your practice right away, progressing through three levels of complexity:
- Basic: Cover the essentials with single implants (posterior and anterior), extractions, and socket preservation.
- Intermediate: Learn multi-implant placements, intercrestal sinus lifts, and guided implant placements.
- Advanced: Tackle more challenging procedures like ridge splitting, full sinus lifts, immediate loading, overdentures, and even wisdom teeth extractions.
With this range, whether you’re sharpening existing skills or exploring advanced techniques, you’ll leave our courses equipped to handle a variety of cases with confidence.
4. What Sets Dental Implants: The Course Apart?
What makes this course stand out? Unlike programs where you simply observe, here, you’ll be working directly with live patients under the guidance of experienced mentors.
This hands-on approach allows you to build real confidence in a safe, supportive environment – learning by doing rather than watching from the sidelines. Plus, you’ll receive personal guidance, so you can fine-tune your skills and feel ready to take on similar cases back at your own practice!
5. Who Will Be Leading the Course?
Our instructors are highly experienced specialists, including internationally recognized oral surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists, each bringing decades of practical expertise to the table.
As one of our lead instructors shares, “Working with live patients during training isn’t just about learning the steps – it’s about developing the confidence to handle complex cases in real life.” Their mentorship ensures you not only understand each technique but also the reasoning behind every clinical decision.
6. Can These CE Credits Count Toward Other Certifications?
Yes! The CE credits you earn here are also valid toward fellowship credentials with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), adding another valuable layer to your professional qualifications. Earning these credits can help set you apart within your professional network and improve the trust patients place in you. After all, you are in charge of their oral health.
7. Do These Credits Satisfy License Renewal Requirements?
Absolutely. With 32 credits, you’ll be well on your way to meeting the CE requirements for most states, which typically range from 30 to 50 hours every two years. And, since our course is PACE-certified, the credits you earn are accepted across most state boards, allowing you to meet your licensure needs while advancing your implantology skills. It’s a win-win situation.
8. What Should I Expect Logistically?
Our course is held in a state-of-the-art clinic in Guadalajara, Mexico, with all logistics carefully organized and taken care of. Your stay includes private hotel accommodations, transportation, meals, and all necessary materials. The sessions are intensive, focusing on three full days of immersive training so you can learn without distractions.
You’ll also complete the course with new knowledge and plenty of hands-on practice, maximizing the value of your time.
9. What Do Other Dentists Say About Their Experience?
We’ve noticed that our reviews from participants often emphasize the confidence they gain from this live-patient, hands-on format. One recent dentist noted, “The hands-on training gave me a real boost. I felt ready to incorporate new procedures as soon as I returned to my practice.” This unique, patient-centered approach gives many the assurance they need to put new skills to use right away.
