A first for Ireland
Level 7 diploma in implant dentistry could open a lucrative new chapter in your career
The only Level 7 postgraduate Dental Implant Diploma to be offered in Ireland launches in May/June 2026. The course offers several advantages, not least elimination of the cost and inconvenience of travelling a long distance to gain the qualification.
The diploma has been developed by Dr Tariq Ali and his team at the Centre for Implant Dentistry in Glasgow. It has been offering its highly regarded courses on implantology and the restorative aspects
of implant dentistry, training hundreds of dentists in Scotland, for several years.
Dr Ali is a recognised leader in his field, providing cutting-edge solutions for patients faced with edentulism, from single implants to complex full-arch treatments, as well as being a teacher and mentor to dentists across the country. The diploma will be conducted by Dr Ali and his team, including Dr Jimmy Makdissi and Dr Hatem Algraffee.
“Our aim is to create and nurture a body of dental professionals instilled with a core ethic that puts their patients’ best interests as paramount at all times”

“The course will provide the discipline and expertise required to build the procedural skills, competence and ethical practices needed to perform in the region of 40-50 implants per year and we are committed to ensuring delegates who take our diploma achieve this goal,” said Dr Ali. He added: “Our implant diploma has been designed entirely with this in mind, with a pedigree of exceptional quality teaching together with hands-on practical masterclass and surgery on patients that delegates have selected and planned themselves. “Following this, delegates will be able to advance their development in implant dentistry. Our aim is to create and nurture a body of dental professionals instilled with a core ethic that puts their patients’ best interests as paramount at all times.” The course comprises five dedicated units, including CBCT Levels One and Two, with training undertaken at venues across Ireland. In addition to the tuition, one week of mentoring during unit three will be conducted in practice with Dr Ali in Glasgow . A comprehensive reading list and a list of prescribed texts to be purchased will be provided for each unit once you have registered for the diploma. To meet the diploma’s standards of competence, candidates with be assessed on an ongoing basis. The main component of this will be a case presentation involving all aspects of implant care for the candidate’s patient. Candidates will be assessed on this case at the end of the course.
The Centre for Implant Dentistry is EduQual approved and the diploma is EduQual accredited. The diploma, which costs €12,450, comprises five units over approximately 13 days (meals included) and one week mentoring with Dr Ali (meal vouchers included). It includes a CBCT masterclass Levels I and II, plus DTX planning software worth more than €3,000.
