About this degree
If you are looking to specialise in prosthodontics, this globally renowned programme at UCL will help you see your patient management in a whole new way. You will develop a high level of clinical skill for diagnosing, treating, and restoratively managing advanced and complex cases with an evidence-based approach.
The course covers all aspects of prosthodontic treatment, including fixed (both conventionally prepared and adhesive-retained designs), removable and implant-supported prostheses, for single missing teeth or partially or fully edentulous cases.
Our programme is unique as our trainees are exposed to all dental implant treatment phases, including planning, surgical placement, and restoration. Students also undertake laboratory work to appreciate its role in successful clinical outcomes. You will gain experience in both analogue and digital workflows in our new state-of-the-art Institute and hospital facilities.
You will work with UCL's experts including clinical academics, hospital consultants, technical instructors, specialist clinicians and guest lecturers, and be part of a small and focused international cohort, as places are limited.
Learning is accomplished through seminars, advanced diagnosis and treatment planning sessions, supervised clinical patient treatment, as well as supervised laboratory work.
