Who should do this course?

We believe this course is aimed at experienced dentists, wishing to improve their clinical work and invest more time into the understanding of smile design, facial aesthetics and the use of digital tools to design the perfect smile. If you are an independent dentist with a good understanding of Occlusion, treatment planning and tooth preparation or a Tipton Training Alumni who has done either the Level 7 Certificate in Restorative Dentistry or the Level 7 Certificate in Operative Dentistry then this course will help you deliver Aesthetic treatments that your patients aspire to receive.

I am confused about which course will suit me best. Can you tell me the difference between the Level 7 Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and Level 7 Certificate in Aesthetic Dentistry?

The Aesthetic Course is an advanced course for dentists who are looking to carry out more private and advance dental work such as Digital and Smile Design Improvement. The Restorative Course is aimed at dentists looking to explore occlusion and stabilisation techniques to improve their general dentistry.

How much practical work is involved?

The Aesthetic course consists of a mix of lectures, demonstrations and practical sessions. It is 50% theory and 50% practical.

How much reading is involved?

The theory is based on reading material provided to you via your Members portal on the website. This will be available to you up to 4 weeks prior to the specific course module. All scientific journals are hand-picked by the team and are essential in developing your knowledge within specific topics. Reading material is required specifically for Unit 1. Professor Tipton and his team may refer back to specific points within the reading so it is important to make sure you are up to date.

Are there any additional course costs?

There are no additional costs on the Level 7 Certificate in Aesthetic Dentistry.

What is covered in the course fees?

We provide you with the models for diagnostic waxing days. A light lunch and refreshments will be available. We will try to accommodate any dietary requirements.

I think that if you are sat there wondering about why you are struggling to take that next step with your dentistry you need look no further. Tipton training has opened my eyes to what I can and should be offering to my patients. It has reignited my desire and passion for dentistry.

A great course for both furthering confidence in restorative treatment planning and aesthetic cases as well as a wonderful learning environment in which to meet like-minded colleagues and learn together. A great year, and sad its ended!

The most enjoyable and rewarding course I’ve ever attended. Absolutely wonderful! Fantastic tutors! Thank you all for teaching me so much.
– Nicola Moore, Aesthetic Manchester 2022-2023

I very much enjoyed the course. My confidence and ability to plan aesthetic restorations reliably has improved dramatically. I now plan with my patient what their aesthetic end goals are before embarking on more extensive restorations.
– Neil Marshall, Aesthetic Manchester, 2022-2023

Attending the Tipton Training Aesthetic course has significantly improved my dental knowledge and has given me confidence in what I do day by day at work, I can explain dental issues better to my patients and I can see them understanding it. It has been worth it, and the fact that there is a support group where Tipton alumni and lecturers can help out, gives me that boost of confidence and peace of mind that I am not lost now that the course is over.

I chose to train through Tipton Training as I was aware of their renowned reputation for the most in depth postgraduate training for dentists in the UK. The course content was excellent with a good balance between theory and practical application, which I think was a great way to learn. This course has given me a more cemented view in my role and helped apply a more complex perspective to my treatment planning, therefore allowing me to offer more elaborated treatment options to my patients.

Prof Tipton and his team have been great once more after having done the Restorative and the Operative Dentistry course. The Aesthetic course takes dentistry to a whole new world and a completely different level. I would like to thank the Tipton Team for managing to build up the confidence that I was once lacking. Complex cases are now infinitely easier to identify and treat.

After doing the both the Restorative and Aesthetic Courses I am now looking forward to the cases I used to run away from. The Courses turned Dentistry into an even more exciting job.

My private income has dramatically increased, so much so that I have bought my own private practice. I am now one of the youngest private practice owners in the country, and I owe this to Tipton Training.
