We are proud to announce a major milestone in our journey of supporting dentists at every stage of their careers: our flagship dental mentorship programme is officially being accredited as a Level 7 Diploma in Private & Restorative Dentistry.
This achievement marks an exciting evolution for our programme, transforming it from a highly respected mentorship pathway into a formal postgraduate qualification that recognises advanced clinical skill, academic rigour, and real-world excellence in modern dentistry.
A Level 7 qualification is equivalent to postgraduate study and is designed for professionals looking to demonstrate advanced knowledge, clinical competence, and critical thinking within their field.
For dentists, a Level 7 Diploma represents:
Advanced postgraduate education
Recognition of high-level clinical and theoretical competence
A qualification aligned with Master’s-level learning outcomes
Enhanced professional credibility in private dentistry
By achieving Level 7 status, our programme now offers both mentorship and an internationally recognised academic qualification, bridging the gap between theory and hands-on clinical practice.
Our dental mentorship programme has always focused on:
Building confidence in private and restorative dentistry
Developing predictable clinical systems
Supporting ethical, patient-centred care
Helping dentists transition successfully into private practice
The move to a Level 7 Diploma in Private & Restorative Dentistry is a natural progression — formalising what our delegates have always experienced: structured learning, measurable outcomes, and advanced clinical development.
This diploma validates the depth, quality, and consistency of our training while preserving the mentorship-led approach that sets us apart.
The diploma is designed to reflect the realities of modern private practice, combining academic learning with practical application. Areas of study typically include:
Comprehensive restorative dentistry
Treatment planning for private patients
Occlusion and functional aesthetics
Indirect restorations and complex cases
Ethical private dentistry and consent
Clinical decision-making and risk management
Reflective practice and professional development
Delegates are supported throughout by experienced mentors who actively practice at a high level, ensuring learning is relevant, current, and immediately applicable.
Turning our mentorship programme into a Level 7 Diploma offers significant benefits for both current and future delegates:
Gain a formal Level 7 Diploma that reflects your advanced skills in private and restorative dentistry.
Unlike traditional academic routes, this programme remains clinically focused, mentor-supported, and grounded in real practice.
Strengthen your professional profile, increase confidence with complex cases, and position yourself for growth in private dentistry.
Advanced training leads to improved outcomes, clearer communication, and greater trust from patients.
This accreditation reflects our ongoing commitment to:
Raising standards in private and restorative dentistry
Supporting dentists beyond undergraduate education
Providing structured, ethical, and evidence-based training
Creating confident clinicians who deliver exceptional patient care
We believe postgraduate dental education should be accessible, practical, and transformative — and this Level 7 Diploma embodies that vision.
We are incredibly excited about what this next chapter means for our community of dentists. Whether you are an associate dentist looking to grow into private practice or an experienced clinician seeking formal recognition of your expertise, this diploma provides a clear, supported pathway forward.
The future of private and restorative dentistry is here — and we’re proud to be leading it.
