Course Summary

This programme explores the most important topics in aesthetic dentistry, making it ideal for practitioners looking to expand into this sought-after field. It covers scientific documentation, clinical applications, treatment planning, modern materials, and step-by-step clinical procedures. This one-year course is available part-time with regular attendance or by distance-learning with three condensed week-long sessions in London.

This programme is for dental practitioners who want to work at the cutting edge of contemporary dentistry and extend their knowledge and skills into aesthetic dentistry. It gives busy professionals the ability to complete their training while studying at their convenience.

Applicants can study part-time or by flexible mixed mode. UK or London-based applicants are encouraged to choose the part-time mode and attend campus most Thursdays between October and July. Applicants based overseas and those less able to travel to London each week will benefit from the mixed-mode option.

Part-time students will attend lectures in the morning and then hands-on training for the rest of the day. The lectures and interactive discussions are livestreamed for mixed-mode delegates and then made available on-demand. For mixed-mode students, the hands-on training is condensed into week-long sessions in December, March, and June.

UCL's aesthetic dentistry programme offers the most hands-on training in Europe. You will receive extensive small-group training in lab and clinic, honing your skills in state-of-the-art facilities and learning from UCL’s internationally acclaimed dental specialists.

The programme places particular emphasis on developing your skills in aesthetic restorations, contemporary biomaterials and evidence-based clinical procedures and techniques.
