Why LTD Mentorship Academy?
LTD Mentorship Academy (Light Touch Dental) was founded to bridge the gap between postgraduate education and everyday clinical confidence in implantology.
Our courses pair clinical instruction with hands-on exercises, live cases, or direct surgical observation — because real skill is built chairside, not in a lecture hall.
We partner exclusively with Southern Implants to ensure every participant works with world-class systems and receives support that extends well beyond the course day.
Small group sizes ensure a high mentor-to-delegate ratio and personalised attention.
All courses carry formal CPD points registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.
Hands-on access to premium implant systems and aftercare from Southern Africa's leading manufacturer.
