The success of osseointegrated dental implants has forever changed dentistry and, thus, undergraduate dental education. With the tremendous clinical acceptance and increased patient demand for dental implants, dental school educational programs must prepare students to treat patients with this modality. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the predoctoral dental implant educational program at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Dentistry.
