Overview

The Diploma in Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry (Level 7) is an advanced programme designed for dentists who want to strengthen core restorative principles while developing high-level aesthetic capability. Accredited by EduQual and the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the course integrates scientific understanding with practical execution, enabling delegates to manage increasingly complex cases with confidence. The programme builds predictable clinical outcomes, refined treatment planning skills and the ability to deliver aesthetic results that meet modern patient expectations.

Structure and learning experience

The programme is delivered in a flexible blended format that allows practising dentists to continue clinical work while progressing through structured postgraduate training. Delegates complete a series of face-to-face training days supported by online modules, live demonstrations and interactive learning sessions. Practical workshops focus on applying techniques under close supervision, while digital resources reinforce knowledge between teaching blocks. This balance of theory, guided practice and remote learning ensures continuous progression and immediate transfer of skills into daily clinical practice.

Clinical focus and outcomes

The course begins by strengthening restorative foundations, including occlusion, articulators, treatment planning, tooth preparation, endodontic and periodontal considerations. Delegates then progress into advanced aesthetic dentistry, covering smile design, veneer preparation and cementation, bleaching protocols, clinical photography, communication with laboratories and the integration of digital tools for case planning. Guided by an experienced faculty, participants graduate with improved technical precision, stronger diagnostic confidence and the ability to deliver comprehensive restorative and aesthetic solutions.

Level 7 Diploma

To achieve the Level 7 qualification, participants complete a structured series of assessments including clinical portfolios, reflective written work, treatment planning exercises and formal examinations.

On successful completion of the programme and all required assessments, delegates are awarded a Level 7 Diploma in Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry accredited by EduQual and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. This accreditation reflects internationally recognised postgraduate standards and confirms advanced clinical competency.
