In my view, if you're doing something like this without getting a specialty then the experience you get is everything and there is no better program than Loma Linda for implants in the country (specialty or not).

Implant Certified Dentists
Implant Specialists

I don't care what program you go to or how long you go there for, these programs are simply a longer version of a CE course in dental implants! All they are, are money making gimmics. You want to learn how to do implants correctly, you don't need one year, definitely not two years to learn it. A week with Pinkys institude will teach you plenty!
To me, all those "implant residencies" are BS and train these dentists that feel that they know something better! Whew, I've got a Master in Implantology? What? Are you serious? All just fancy names after you dumped more thousands of dollars down the drain.
Please, no need to be sorry....we're just exchanging thought here.brycethefatty said:Sorry!
3 YEARS!?!?! Damn. I could think of many more efficient ways to learn implants in that amount of time....why not go ahead and do a Perio residency in the same amount of time but with a broader scope?brycethefatty said:I didn't mean to make it sound like you got a specialty degree to do implants -- I only meant that Loma Linda gives a "certificate" (similary to the professional certificate given when one graduates a GPR program) when you complete their 3 year training program for implants. Sorry!
