Implant dentistry, as we have known it over the past two decades is changing.   Market trends are threatening the future of our implant practices.   And IDIA is the only organization addressing these issues.

To benefit surgical specialists and their referring dentists:

• Strategies and tools to manage "Weekend Warrior" challenges
• A unique education program that dramatically increases implant referrals
• Strategies and tools for competing with Implant Super Centers
• Patient education materials and website to address misleading advertising claims

To benefit the profession:

• Working with industry to reduce abbreviated surgical training programs
• Training guidelines to meet the legal standard of care for implant placement
• Articles for peer-reviewed journals on the problems with inadequate training
• Patient education website that addresses misleading advertising claims

Our goal for 2010 is to obtain enough support from surgical specialists to implement a national public awareness campaign to provide a voice in the media to compete with the ubiquitous, misleading advertising that promotes low price and ignores expertise and quality.

Join IDIA for the benefit of your practice and our profession.
