The Totally Aesthetics Diploma is a structured seventeen-day comprehensive year-long programme designed to give the clinical and non-clinical skills required to perform high-level minimally invasive restorative & aesthetic dentistry. Designed to build on skills gained in the Totally Composite courses, covering all other aspects of modern-day comprehensive dentistry. The course includes evidence-based theory, significant practicals (including phantom head), constant mentoring, and significant online resources.

A programme designed to give the knowledge, confidence, and skills to perform high-level, minimally invasive restorative and aesthetic dentistry. Suited to General Practitioners at any stage of their careers and all types of practice settings. The course is run from our state-of-the-art training institute in central London, featuring full phantom heads including micromotors, benchside monitors, live feeds from surgeries, and a plethora of digital scanners to supercharge the learning experience.

In addition to the considerable online resources on our learning platform delegates receive personalised mentoring and support throughout the programme and long after.

Upon successful completion of the course, submission of assessments, and payment of the awarding body diploma registration fee the delegate will be awarded a Diploma in Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry (EduQual level 7).
