COURSE OVERVIEW

The Smile Dental Academy's Diploma in Oral Surgery offers dental professionals an in-depth grasp and insight into the latest approaches in Oral Surgery. The Dip in Oral Surgery strives to cover the fundamental aspects of oral surgery enabling clinicians to manage cases from straightforward surgical extractions to more complex procedures like implant surgeries and management of oral pathological conditions.

The Diploma spans over a 12-month period involving 18 days of face-to-face teaching (which includes lectures, hands-on practical sessions, models, and case-based discussions) supplemented by guided self-learning elements between official teaching days.
