As a Dentist, you'll lead a dental team, diagnose and treat dental diseases, repair dental and related facial injuries, and give patients advice and guidance on looking after their oral health.


You'll first learn the clinical skills in our dental simulation suite, on mannequins that are fondly known as 'phantom heads'. This hands-on experience will prepare you for the wide range of real clinical scenarios that you'll get stuck into later in the course in various clinical environments, thanks to our strong links with the NHS team.


Not only will you study in the University Dental Hospital which we are lucky enough to call our home, but you'll also embark on clinical placements in Wales, where you'll be surrounded by an experienced team of clinicians, supporting you to become the best dental professional you can be.


When you graduate, you can register with the General Dental Council and work across the dental sector including general dental care, community dental care, dental public health, hospital dental care and the armed forces.


This course is also the perfect launchpad for a career as a specialist in a particular area of dentistry, or as a researcher, exploring some of the biggest challenges facing our society.

ENROLMENT CONDITIONS

You will also need to have had a Tetanus vaccination within the last 10 years.
Having a blood-borne virus or other infectious diseases won’t prevent you from completing this course and obtaining General Dental Council registration, but some specialties won’t be open to you during training or in your career.
