Are you looking to grow your skills and confidence in implant dentistry? Whether you’re just starting out or ready to tackle more advanced cases, our Implant Success Pathway mentoring programme is here to support you at every stage.
​
Led by experienced implant dentist Dr Neil Cooper, this programme is designed specifically for general dental practitioners who want to incorporate implants into their daily practice with confidence.
​
From observational sessions and treatment planning to hands-on surgical mentoring, you’ll receive the practical guidance and clinical support needed to succeed.
Neil Cooper has over 20 years of experience in complex implant procedures and a long-standing commitment to mentoring. His calm, supportive approach helps clinicians at every stage of their development feel empowered, informed, and in control.

Why choose mentoring at Crossbank Dental Care?
Your mentoring menu: steps to success
A) Observational days – £250 per session (£50 per nurse)
Spend a day in practice observing Neil and the team in action. You'll gain insight into treatment planning, patient communication, and both surgical and restorative workflows. Depending on your interests, you may observe:
​
• Single or multiple implant placements
• Implant restorations
• Bone or sinus grafting
• Connective tissue augmentation
​
Bring your nurse to maximise the impact back in your own clinic.
B) Case selection & treatment planning – Free of charge
Get expert advice on how to confidently select and plan your implant cases. Neil will guide you through assessing CBCTs, IOS scans, photographs, and patient records.
C) Clinical support for implant placement
Work alongside Neil during surgery, from flap design to closure. Choose the option that suits you best:
​
Come & do
You place the implant, patient pays Neil.
​
Come & place (with Neil present)
Patient pays the standard fee, and you receive an associate percentage.
​
Flying solo (at Crossbank)
You place the implant with your nurse, and benefit from our full support team, equipment backup and sedation cover.
D) Clinical support for implant restoration
Restoration is as important as placement. With Neil’s guidance, you’ll master both digital and analogue workflows — from abutment selection through to final prosthetics — ensuring you're confident managing the full implant journey.
