To give our students the best possible training, we aim to provide exerience in real-world scenarios. To do so, patients who need basic dental treatment are invited to register to attend our restorative dentistry training clinics. If you choose to do so, and are deemed to be eligible for treatment, you will be assigned to one of our students to receive high-quality, free dental care. During this treatment, students are supervised at all times by our experienced clinical team of qualified dentists and dental technicians.
As this treatment is delivered by students, it is only available during term time, Monday to Friday between 9am – 5pm when the allocated student is available. Appointments are likely to take a little longer than a normal dental visit. Patients are required to attened an initial assessment appointment, if you are not suitable for any reason to be treated by a student, then treatment will not be offered.
