Ultimate Implants
The Only Implant Course You’ll Ever Need
Learn at your own pace with my on-demand online training.
Can You Do Goodbyes?
Goodbyes are never easy. But the day you say au revoir to your implant referral guy and start taking on your own cases is sweet. With training from the Academy of Implant Excellence, that day could come sooner than you think.
I don’t like to add up the amount I’ve spent on training over the years. But if I had to take a guess, I’d say it was somewhere around £250K.
And then there are the clinical mistakes I’ve made along the way…
The Academy of Implant Excellence is my way of helping fellow professionals leap the same financial and clinical pitfalls—and kickstart their implant careers with confident, proficient practice from the get-go.
I’ve packed everything I know about implants into almost 100 hours of online video lectures to create the definitive course I wish I’d had access to when I first started out.
I also offer additional personal mentoring and over-the-shoulder support, which means there are no excuses for putting what you learn into practice and finally attaining the implant career you’ve been reaching for.
So What’s Included?
The training follows my three-step protocol for success, starting with the basics and culminating in the master’s-level theory behind advanced and complex cases.
There’s a long list coming up, so grab a coffee. In the meantime, here’s the TLDR.

Hands-On at Your Clinic
In your environement with your patients and team is how we deliver our hands-on training.
The theory will only take you so far
And no matter what other training providers say, it’s impossible to become a confident implantologist without getting your fingers wet somewhere down the line.
What’s more, hands-on training is most effective when you’re one-on-one with experts in a familiar environment.
That’s why my hands-on training features a day treating an advanced or complex case alongside me or an accredited mentor at your clinic.
Hands-on is hands-down the fastest and most effective method of building the experience and growing the confidence you need to go solo with lucrative implant treatments.
Bonus Content—Sedation Masterclass
Implants and sedation go hand in hand. So, in addition to all of the content on basic to complex assessment, planning and treatment above, I’ve also put together a sedation masterclass.
The free bonus module will help you understand the critical role of sedation in implant dentistryandwork moreclosely with anaesthetists during surgery.
Over to You…
There are many roads you could take from here: A master’s degree packs in a good chunk (but not all) of the content included in my pathway to advanced implant mastery.
With the right support throughout training and beyond, you could be up and running with basic cases in a few years.
Alternatively, you could find a clinical mentor to show you the ropes and work your way, case by case, to advanced implant mastery and grab the theory where you can along the way.
There is another way.
Investing in my training gives you all of the theory you’ll ever need for a lifetime in successful, profitable implantology.
Add additional one-to-one mentoring to get the missing piece of the jigsaw—invaluable hands-on experience—and a profitable career in implants could be much closer than you think.
If you’re already regularly referring implants, you could be treating your first implant case alongside me as soon as next week.
Invest in Your Future
All three of my intensive training modules, comprising a trove of more than 80 hours of in-depth yet accessible video lectures, are available now at just £9000.
Enrolment includes my bonus module on dental sedation and also unlocks access to my exclusive clinical mentoring programme featuring one-to-one support guaranteed to light the fuse on your implant career.
If you’re already referring implant cases, investment is a no-brainer that will see fast returns and mean you can confidently give a joyful yes to your next potential implant patient.
But Don’t Take My Word for It
“I’ve learned a great deal more than what I learned on my MSc…If you’re thinking about choosing Pav, I can highly recommend it. He’s always there and always accessible.”
“If you are getting to the point where you are—like me—not a complete beginner but by no means a finished product, Pav’s academy is a great place to be…I thoroughly recommend it…Having Pav as a mentor is a golden opportunity!”
