Covid-19 Information and Resources

The health and safety of AAID members remain top of mind as the American Academy of Implant Dentistry continues to monitor the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As you have been reading and listening to the news, the information on the virus is changing frequently and organizations are having to pivot quickly as we learn more about its spread.

The AAID understands that the challenges under COVID-19 is difficult for all of us. Check back to this site for the most current information from AAID. If there is a way that we can support you and your practice, please email us at membership@aaid.com or contact us directly via email or phone.
