Why we founded WIN

As dental professionals, we always take care to find the best solution for each patient. Success is when a patient can smile and chew as freely as if they had natural teeth.

Nowadays, it is primarily men who specialise in implantology, and there are fewer female role models when it comes to surgeons, speakers, key opinion leaders and practice owners.

Although the percentage of women dental school graduates is constantly increasing, only a minority become active in implant dentistry. If this trend continues, patient access to implant therapy and proper maintenance is at risk.

This is what motivates us as WIN members. Whether they want a successful career as a surgeon, business owner or academic, we want to inspire and engage more women in implant dentistry.
