For dentists across Australia and New Zealand, accessing world-class implantology training no longer means jetting off overseas. The Australasian Implant Academy (AIA), founded by respected dental surgeons Dr. Dean Licenblat, Dr. Ned Restom and Dr. David Bassal, is delivering advanced education and hands-on experience right here at home.

Learn From the World’s Best, Locally

Until recently, learning from international leaders in implantology meant expensive travel and time away from work. AIA was created to change that. By bringing global experts, cutting-edge techniques, and live patient mentorship directly to Australia, we’re making high-level implant training accessible to local clinicians.

“We wanted to give Australian dentists the chance to learn from the world’s best without having to leave the country,” explains Dr. Restom. “Our programs are designed to build confidence and skills, so dentists can provide advanced treatments right here in their own communities.”

Our faculty features over 18 specialists, including periodontists, prosthodontists, and implant pioneers, all dedicated to sharing their expertise.

Hands-On Experience with Live Patients

One of the standout features of AIA’s programs is live patient training. This hands-on approach allows dentists to bridge the gap between theory and practice, building the skills needed to manage real-world cases.

“Live patient training is invaluable,” says Dr. Licenblat. “It prepares clinicians to handle complex treatments with confidence, under the guidance of experts who’ve done it all.”

Courses cater to all experience levels, from foundational skills like diagnostics and basic implant techniques to advanced procedures like grafting and full-arch rehabilitation. Delivered in state-of-the-art facilities across Sydney, Melbourne, and the NSW Central Coast, we ensure dentists have the tools and environment they need to succeed.

A Comprehensive Implant Education Pathway

The Academy’s program spans four Fellowship levels, starting with diagnostics, treatment planning, and basic implant techniques, and progressing to advanced procedures such as soft tissue management, sinus lifts, and PRP/PRF protocols.

This comprehensive approach ensures every graduate leaves with both the theoretical knowledge and practical experience needed to provide high-quality implant care.

Ongoing Mentorship and Support

When you join AIA, you’re not just signing up for a course – you’re joining a community. Graduates gain access to ongoing mentorship, case reviews, and a network of peers who are always there to offer advice or guidance.

“AIA is about more than education,” says Dr. Restom. “It’s about building a supportive community of clinicians who are committed to achieving the best outcomes for their patients.”

A Bright Future for Implant Dentistry

With demand for dental implants on the rise, now is the time to expand your skills and grow your practice. AIA gives dentists the knowledge, hands-on experience, and ongoing support needed to provide exceptional implant care and transform patient outcomes.
