Educational providers and dental practitioners who wish to practise implant dentistry should refer to the Training Standards in Implant Dentistry for General Dental Practitioners, published by the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK), says the GDC.

The GDC supports these training standards, as the authoritative source for implant dentistry for dental practitioners in the UK, in a policy statement on implantology. This statement has been issued in response to concerns raised with the GDC about the practice of implant dentistry by general dental practitioners.

The policy statement on implantology is available on the GDC website.
