Certificate in Dental Implantology (12-month programme)

Build a confident, evidence-based pathway into implant dentistry with a one-year programme designed for dentists who are new to implants (or have limited implant/oral surgery experience). Tipton Training’s Certificate in Dental Implantology blends structured teaching with real clinical experience—so you can move from theory to predictable delivery with safety, judgement and long-term outcomes at the centre of every decision.

Why this programme stands out

• True balance of learning and doing: approximately 50% theory / 50% hands-on practical across 16 modules.
• Supervised live patient experience: complete 8 supervised live surgery sessions, placing and restoring implants on patients under expert mentorship.
• CBCT included (Level 1 & Level 2): strengthen diagnostic confidence with core and advanced CBCT training, supporting appropriate, compliant radiographic decision-making.
• Consistency of mentorship: work with the same tutors throughout, building momentum through continuity, structured feedback and progress tracking.

What you’ll learn

You’ll develop a complete, modern workflow—from case selection through to surgical placement and restoration—supported by a strong scientific foundation.

Core themes include:

• Implant sciences and success criteria (anatomy, osseointegration, peri-implant tissues)
• Case selection and treatment planning, including a digital planning workflow
• Surgical fundamentals: asepsis, anaesthesia, flap design, drilling protocols and suturing
• Restorative implant techniques: prosthetic options, occlusion, and lab communication
• Advanced considerations introduced on the programme, including aesthetic/soft-tissue management, immediate loading, full-arch concepts, sinus procedures, and peri-implant lesion management

Learning experience & support

Implant training doesn’t end when the module finishes. Alongside in-person seminars, practical sessions and live surgery, you’ll benefit from:

• An online learning platform and digital library (updated monthly)
• Out-of-hours case support to help you apply learning to real clinical decisions
• Ongoing mentorship, with additional support opportunities referenced on the course page

Outcomes you can take into practice

By the end of the programme, you should be able to:

• Apply safe, predictable foundations for implant treatment
• Plan cases with improved confidence, using evidence-based decision-making
• Integrate CBCT interpretation skills into your diagnostic and planning workflow
• Execute implant placement and restoration with greater control, supported by supervised clinical experience

Certificate routes

Choose the pathway that fits your goals:

• Level 7 Certificate (EduQual approved): includes assessments (e.g., DOPS, reflective write-ups, clinical portfolios, treatment planning assignments, MCQs)
• Non-Level 7 pathway: an attendance route with no formal assessments

Enhanced CPD: 100+ hours (stated on the course page)
