Dr Amit Mistry is a nationally-renowned dental implant surgeon, working in the North West of England. His full-time clinical practice is dedicated exclusively to dental implant related surgery, providing everything from single tooth implants to the more advanced full mouth rehabilitations that require zygomatic implants. Dr Mistry lectures extensively on his areas of expertise in this field and is a sought-after mentor by other dentists who wish to learn from his vast knowledge and experience.
Dr Mistry is a member of the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI) Board as Regional Rep for North West England. He shares a little bit about his experience with the ADI, and his role:
“I have been an ADI member for many years. I have been providing dental implants for around 20 years, and have been a member for the majority of this time. It has been a fantastic environment for learning and networking with dentists in the area as well as speakers at the Study Clubs.
“In 2018-2019 I took the opportunity to run the Study Clubs in my area, as my colleague on the board at the time wasn’t able to. Following this, I thought that it would be good to be more formally involved at board level, to enable me to help shape implant dentistry in the UK, as well as the education and events. As such, I was elected for a position on the board in 2019, and have been participating in this capacity ever since, seeing the ADI through trying times like COVID.
“I would say that education is one of the main reasons to get involved with the ADI. Our events are a great source of knowledge, with Masterclasses – like the Sinus Augmentation Masterclass in early 2024 – attracting great speakers. ADI Team Congresses are equally brilliant, encouraging the whole dental team to get together every two years. These are inspiring events, and good fun for all. They are a great opportunity to see speakers from around the world discuss their tips and techniques, and they are one of the few events in the UK who get everyone together.”
Discussing his own tips for colleagues interested in implant dentistry, he comments:
“I would highly recommend getting a good mentor who can guide you and help you to navigate where you want to go in your career. Working with a good mentor can help you to shave a lot of time off of this journey. The ADI helps to facilitate this through encouraging networking at events, both locally and nationally.
“The ADI is a fantastic community, and enables clinicians to be exposed to all levels of dental implant treatment. The membership includes everyone from beginners to experienced clinicians, enabling those who are more experienced to help less experienced clinicians with how to handle things when they don’t go to according to plan.”
