Overview

The Diploma in Dental Implantology is a comprehensive, postgraduate Level 7 qualification designed for dentists seeking to develop a complete and advanced clinical skill set in implant dentistry. This integrated diploma combines our foundational Year 1 Certificate in Dental Implantology with the more advanced Year 2 Certificate in Advanced Dental Implantology, offering a structured and progressive pathway from core principles through to complex case management.

By the end of the programme, delegates will have completed 20 mentored implant cases from placement through to restoration, developing the confidence, competence, and clinical judgement required to deliver implant treatment independently in clinical practice.

Certificate in Dental Implantology (Year 1)

The first year focuses on building a solid grounding in implantology. Delivered over 12 months, the Certificate in Dental Implantology blends evidence-based theory with hands-on clinical experience, including 8 days of supervised live patient surgical training. Delegates develop skills in patient assessment, digital treatment planning, safe implant placement, CBCT interpretation, surgical protocols, restorative techniques, and implant prosthodontics. It is ideal for dentists with limited implant experience and includes 6 mentored implant cases from placement to final restoration, supporting safe and predictable treatment integration into practice.

Certificate in Advanced Dental Implantology (Year 2)

Building on the foundation from Year 1, this part of the Diploma advances delegates’ capabilities to manage more complex implant cases. This year is split into 2 parts. The first part combines 10 comprehensive online modules with 4 clinical skill days covering socket preservation, GBR, sinus elevation, guided workflows, overdentures, full-arch concepts, complications, and peri-implantitis.

Part 2 focuses on live surgery mentoring, requiring 20 implant cases, with three options:

  • Mentored live surgery at Tipton Training's facilities

  • Mentored live surgery in your own clinic by Tipton Training mentors

  • A fast-track surgical week in Egypt (minimum 15 cases)

Additional fees are involved for the three live surgery mentoring options listed above. Please contact us for more information.

Level 7 Diploma

To achieve the Level 7 Diploma qualification, delegates must complete the Certificate in Dental Implantology (or a comparable Level 7 course) as well as the Advanced Implant Year 2 course, alongside the required practical placement and clinical case requirements.

Upon successful completion, participants are awarded a Level 7 Diploma in Dental Implantology, as well as the Level 7 Certificate's in Dental Implantology (Year 1) and Advanced Dental Implantology (Year 2). These qualifications are EduQual approved and accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England, reflecting internationally recognised postgraduate standards and confirming advanced clinical competence.
