Course Overview

You will learn with the most advanced dentistry education providers, and we ensure you receive a rounded and robust education and through delivering in-depth seminars, interactive problem-based scenarios, and simulated clinical training to reach a high level of proficiency.

The course aims to graduate confident senior practitioners able to do effective evidence-based practice within complex multidisciplinary teams. It also aims to equip practitioners with appropriate skills to treat challenging general dental cases.

The programme starts by delivering teaching on examination, diagnosis and treatment, alongside basic sciences, biomaterials, health promotion and minimal invasive dentistry. Students will also gain practical and clinical skills in restorative dentistry, periodontics and endodontics, whilst understanding the importance of adopting a holistic approach to patient care.
