The Academy of Private Dentistry in association with Hughes Dental Training, has been created to provide unique dual training for general dentists to achieve clinical excellence and business success.

We have a range of courses so suit dentists of all levels and at every stage of their careers, from individual day courses, online mentoring and assistance with treatment planning, as well as a 1 year, 10 module course aimed specifically at the general dentist to help them become exceptional in their work and business life.

“With a strong focus on Digital Dentistry and associated workflows for practice, mentoring opportunities from highly experienced dentists and “live” patient training, the courses are designed to serve the needs of the modern dentist, to quickly enhance their skills and to help them achieve predictable results for their patients.”

Course modules

Why choose us?

“With a plethora of dental training courses being taught in the UK by inexperienced dentists, with little or no pedigree in building successful practices, the Faculty team has been specifically chosen with their business and leadership skills in mind, as well as their clinical excellence.
Learn from ‘live’ patient demonstrations and well as the opportunity to treat your own patients with ‘over the shoulder’ guidance and mentorship, on selected clinical courses.
Learn from the UK’s industry leaders, most of whom have a background in ‘real life’ dental practice ownership and over 150 years’ combined years in dentistry, with case study follow ups over several decades.
Our Faculty has had extensive training in the US, at the Pankey Institute, Kois Centre, Spear Institute, Dawson Centre, the AACD, New York University and the Rosenthal Institute for Aesthetic Dentistry.
The entire curriculum is designed to help general dentists to succeed. Each session examines a different aspect of ‘patient-first’ comprehensive dentistry practice, tried and tested techniques that keep our high-profile patients coming back to us time and time again.
If you want to take your career as high as it can go, these are the courses for you.”
