The Magic Is In The Magician, Not In The Wand.
Vision: to support the dental profession with the most comprehensive and practical implant education and provide mentorship for lifelong learners in dentistry.
Our educational philosophy is simple:
- Learn from the ground up.
- Learn as comprehensively as possible, because you don’t know what you don’t know.
- Apply what you learn, through workshops, through live demos, and finally through live patient practice under guided mentorship.
And be a lifelong learner. Recognize that implant dentistry is a lifelong pursuit and takes time, energy, and diligence.
We aspire to educate dentists on principles, sound science, and best practices. We run generic programs because your education deserves a perspective free from corporate bias.
INTRODUCING DECODE DENTISTRY
CDITC introduces Decode Dentistry.
A new name for the same trusted education—expanded and elevated.
For 25 years, the Canadian Dental Implant Training Centre (CDITC) has equipped dentists with practical, evidence-based implant training. Now, as Decode Dentistry, we’re building on that legacy with an expanded curriculum, deeper mentorship, and a renewed mission to support lifelong learners in every area of clinical dentistry.
Why the Change?
Simple. More Than Implants.
CDITC was built to help dentists master implantology. But over time, our mission has grown—to provide structured, hands-on education in a wide range of procedures: root canals, extractions, socket grafting, digital dentistry, restorations, and more.
Decode Dentistry reflects that broader vision—while still offering the gold-standard implant courses we’re known for.
What This Means for You
Our instructors, teaching methods, and focus on mentorship remain unchanged.
Implant courses continue under Decode Dentistry.
You’ll now find a wider range of courses and resources—under one unified brand.
