THE YEAR COURSE LONDON, 9 Day Hands-On CPD

£5,760.00

This year course in aesthetic restorative dentistry gives you the complete skill set to move from NHS dentistry to confident private practice, built around one principle: excellence through simplicity. Across nine hands-on days in London, limited to twelve dentists, you will master clinical photography, smile design, anterior and posterior composites, veneers, onlays, crowns, occlusion and rubber dam. The modular structure means you can start when you are ready and build at your own pace. These are the practical skills dental school rarely covers in depth. Confident aesthetic restorative dentistry is a system, not a talent, and this course is built to give you that system.

What this course is

A modular, nine-day hands-on programme delivered over several months, supported by a purpose-built online learning platform. It covers the full spectrum of modern aesthetic restorative dentistry, from photography and smile design through to indirect restorations and occlusion. Limited to twelve dentists for genuinely personalised teaching. 80 verifiable ECPD hours.

Who it is for

Designed for dentists who want to make a confident, profitable transition from NHS to private practice, and for private practitioners who want to systematise and elevate their restorative and aesthetic work. The modular structure suits any stage, from those building fundamentals to those refining advanced technique.

Why it converts into income

The skills taught here are precisely what separates routine NHS dentistry from the private aesthetic work that commands meaningful fees. Composites, veneers, onlays and smile design are the procedures that rebuild a fee structure. The course is a deliberate investment in that transition, and the bonus modules on treatment planning, marketing and the business of dentistry are built to help you convert skill into a sustainable private list.
