Certificate in Dental Implantology

Tipton Training's UK implant certificate combines eight teaching modules with eight supervised clinical and practical modules. It covers implant science, planning, CBCT, surgery, restoration and peri-implant disease, with training using the Bredent system.

Clinical training covers live-patient placement and restoration, with tutor mentoring and online resources. The Level 7 route requires Direct Observation of Performance assessments, a CBCT write-up, three patient case presentations and a final 50-question multiple-choice examination. GDC registration is required for the UK clinical route; confirm patient provision and additional clinical costs.

Level 7 tuition is GBP 9,450 including VAT plus GBP 525 registration. The attendance route is GBP 8,950 plus registration. The programme offers 96+ ECPD hours. Confirm the next UK intake and all clinical arrangements.

The taught and clinical modules

• Implant foundations: anatomy, osseointegration, peri-implant tissues, materials and treatment-success criteria.
• Planning: clinical and radiographic assessment, digital planning and the relationship between surgical and restorative decisions.
• CBCT core training: imaging principles, radiation risks, selection and interpretation.
• CBCT advanced training: anatomy, reporting and recognition of maxillofacial findings.
• Surgery: asepsis, anaesthesia, incisions, flap design, drilling, suturing and postoperative care.
• Restoration: occlusion, single and multiple implants, overdentures, fixed prostheses and laboratory prescriptions.
• Advanced topics: aesthetic positioning, soft tissues, immediate loading, full arches, sinus procedures and implant complications.
• Peri-implant disease: prevention, risk assessment, diagnosis and surgical or non-surgical management.

Modules 9–16 focus on supervised clinical placement and restoration, supported by planning and complication management. Training uses Bredent products throughout. The certificate can stand alone; the separate advanced certificate is an additional stage towards Tipton's implant diploma.
