Dental Implant Nursing
Implant Dentistry is a highly advanced, specialised dental skill which is now a widely available treatment across the UK and overseas. It combines surgical skills with restorative expertise to help rebuild the dentition. Some examples of damage could be due to trauma, caries or malignancy. These cases require meticulous planning and exacting standards to ensure an optimum result for each patient.
The NEBDN Certificate in Implant Nursing is specifically designed to allow you to be a vital part of the Clinical Implant team supporting the Dentist, whilst contributing to the meticulous planning and exacting standards to ensure an optimum result for each patient. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of pre and post-operative instructions, allowing you to give these confidently to the patient and their chaperone.
Who is it for?
Registered Dental Nurses who would like to be involved in practical and theoretical elements, from the reasons why to how an implant is placed.
