In the past I have been a member of the BACD membership, communication and congress committees. I have a reputation for a conservative approach to dentistry that will offer long term aesthetic results from the minimum of intervention; this can be seen with my use of various brace systems to align teeth prior to a final makeover.

Membership is by invitation only to practising dentists who have completed an arduous training programme which typically takes five years.

I am an “opinion leader” for Ivoclar Vivadent and lecture and tutor hands on courses for them on Composites, Cements and tooth preparation for the Emax ceramic system.

I like to help people to understand what dentistry can offer them and as the No1 ‘Active Dentist’ on the award-winning patient education website All About Teeth (allaboutteeth.co.uk), spend time answering the public’s questions regarding their dental concerns. I am also a member of the Association of Dental Implantology UK (ADI, visit adi.org.uk), a registered charity dedicated to providing the profession with continuing implant education and the public with a greater understanding of the benefits of dental implants. I am a full member of the Tipton Training Dental Academy which provides me with the latest dental scientific knowledge and clinical techniques.

Dr Andy Carragher

LDS RCS, BDS, MClinDent, CPS

Show biography»

During 25 years in General Dental Practice , 21 years of which were as a sole principal, I have experienced all facets of UK dentistry from exclusively NHS practice to exclusively Private practice.

From the very beginning of my career I have been keen to improve my skills and knowledge. My commitment to postgraduate education ultimately led to a Master’s degree in Prosthodontics. This in turn led to a major career change when just six months after graduation I became a full-time Senior Clinical Teacher in Restorative Dentistry at Liverpool University Dental Hospital.

In this role over the last 12 years I have taught hundreds of undergraduates the fundamentals of Restorative dentistry and supervised the same students on clinic from their first ever patient until the day they pass their final examinations.

I have a special interest in Aesthetic dentistry and have taught on the Crown Course since 2006. Together with a colleague we founded an Advanced Composite Techniques course for senior students.

This year a student whose entry I supervised was chosen as the UK National Winner and is due to compete at the Global Final of the DENTSPLY Sirona Clinical Skills Competition in Konstanz Germany this June.

I have great enthusiasm for teaching dentistry performed to a high standard which can be predictable and long lasting. More importantly, for our patients such treatment can be transformative in terms of confidence and self-esteem.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with postgraduate students looking to take their practice of dentistry to the next level and beyond.

Professor Tipton and his team of highly experienced clinicians have revolutionized the way I examine, diagnose, plan and treat my patients. I simply didn't know what I didn't know and I am now able to utilise this knowledge to greatly help my patients whilst enhancing my practice and increasing my turnover. Courses don't get better than this! ~ Simon Burgess

Why should I do the PG Diploma in Prosthodontics?

The PG Diploma in Prosthodontics provides an opportunity to increase your scientific knowledge and hands-on skills. It is a perfect combination of theory and practical giving you the opportunity to learn the new techniques, practice them on Phantom Heads and eventually return to your practice and implement them straightaway. Regardless of whether you want to get into Private Dentistry or are just motivated to improving your knowledge and providing better treatments to your patients, this course will enhance your skills so you can achieve your ambitions.

What is the benefit of doing PG Diploma in Prosthodontics and not just to the PG Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and PG Certificate in Operative Dentistry?

The benefits of doing a PG Diploma when compared to doing the separate PG Certificates is firstly that you will save approximately 6% on course fees. More importantly, should you choose to do the PG Diploma in the standard format within 12 to 18 months you can also reap the advantages of improved treatment delivery earlier. You can choose any options you feel suitable as Tipton Training has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy which will ensure that your existing education within another Tipton Training course is taken into consideration. It is important to note that every time you do a PG Diploma or a PG Certificate you must pay additional registration fees. So, should you choose to register for each course separately, you are paying 3 registrations fees. The flip side is you also get 3 certificates. It all depends on what your ambitions are.

I have done to PG Certificate in Restorative Dentistry previously can I join the PG Diploma for the Operative element?

Yes, you can. The PG Diploma in Prosthodontics contains Units covered in the PG Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and PG Certificate in Operative Dentistry. Essentially you can do the PG Diploma if you have completed any one of those courses. Tipton Training has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy which will ensure that your existing education within another Tipton Training course is taken into consideration. Please speak to our course advisor for further details.
