VSSAcademy provides a structured supervised clinical training pathway in implant dentistry, enabling delegates to gain hands-on experience through the placement and restoration of dental implants on suitable patients allocated within the VSSAcademy programme.
All clinical training is delivered under direct supervision within a structured mentoring environment, allowing delegates to develop their clinical skills, confidence and experience whilst treating real patients as part of their training.
In Year 1, delegates will complete Level 1 clinical training, including the placement and restoration of two dental implants on allocated patients under direct supervision. In Year 2, delegates progressing to Level 2 will place and restore ten dental implants on allocated patients under direct supervision.
Patient provision, clinical supervision and clinical governance are provided by VSSAcademy as part of its clinical training programme.

What Attendees Say
My learning at VSSAcademy™ has completely met my expectations…The clinical guidance while placing implants was excellent. The Clinics were well organised with quality equipment. VSSAcademy™ also provides ongoing online support after the MSc is finished, which is useful for clinicians like me who started their journey of implants.
Dr Radhika Baireddy
MSc Advanced Implant Dentistry (Top Up)The hands-on nature of the VSS Academy course has been exceptional. I am gaining both theoretical knowledge and clinical skills to confidently begin my implant career. The excellent mentoring and practical skills have allowed me to safely ease into implantology.
