“It was an invaluable experience being mentored by Kit for my first implant case outside my training programme. It was a big first case, complex …” UR1 implant with bone grafting using Xenograft as well as autogenous harvesting plus a temporary bridge. I felt so lucky to be supported by an excellent implant surgeon and an excellent teacher. Prior to the procedure, extensive planning was provided by Kit for every step of the procedure. I performed the whole procedure myself, but felt so well supported with Kit by my side, who provided invaluable guidance throughout the procedure at every step. The patient postoperatively was very complimentary of Kit and felt she was in such good hands with both of us during the procedure. Feedback by Kit after the procedure was very detailed at each step and was very encouraging. Both verbal and written feedback were given.”

“I cannot recommend Kit highly enough as an implant mentor. This was my first GBR case for an anterior tooth, but he gave me such …” excellent support and guidance that I felt relaxed and confident in the result we achieved. Kit has a calm and competent manner and gave me some great clinical tips in a style that was reassuring to the patient and team. The feedback he gave me after the appointment was thorough and well-considered, and I am so grateful for all the time he spent ensuring this case would be successful.”

“Thank you for all your support during the preparation of the cases and the clinical procedures. I felt well supported throughout, which made the process …” much smoother and more enjoyable, despite the challenges. I really appreciated your guidance and the way you took the time to explain things clearly and practically. Your feedback was helpful and reassuring, and it made a big difference to my confidence during the sessions. I really appreciate how you encourage your mentees to step out of their comfort zone, but in a way that always puts patient safety first. I enjoy challenging myself, but I sometimes need a bit of a push to feel confident - and you managed to do that without making me feel under pressure. Overall, it was a great mentoring experience, and I learned a lot from it. Your feedback was clear, detailed, and very helpful. I can’t thank you enough for mentoring me - it has really motivated me to keep improving. I’m looking forward to working on the next cases and continuing to build on what I’ve learned.”

“Kit demonstrated such admirable professionalism throughout the journey of guiding me from the planning of the surgery to the placement. He was reassuring, approachable and …” forthcoming with practical tips for obtaining a successful outcome. He has great mentoring skills. And this one - Nathan Bowen - Kit mentored me for my first implant surgery in general practice. The initial treatment planning discussions were invaluable, and I found it extremely useful to work through the decision-making processes with an experienced surgeon. We discussed the many scenarios and how to manage them, so I felt well-placed to tackle any complications on the day of surgery. During surgery, Kit found the perfect balance between being supportive without being overbearing. It was great to be able to talk through the questions you usually ask yourself in your head, in real time.”
