This course will equip you with the skills to provide specialist level care for the diagnosis, prevention and management of periodontal diseases as well as the placement and restoration of dental implants.Our suite of MClinDent programmes has a common foundation of Restorative Dentistry.

The information about specialist listing in the UK is held by the GDC.It is important to note that successful completion of one of these programmes does not guarantee acceptance by Royal College to sit their examinations or registration as a specialist through the GDC in the UK.
