Job prospects

The founder of one of a dental training academy has said that dentists who obtain qualifications in specific areas of dentistry are likely to earn better career opportunities. 

Professor Paul Tipton, who created Tipton Training 25 years ago, has seen a growing trend of young dentists bolster their job prospects by becoming experts in a particular area of the profession. 

This pattern reflects the approach of Tipton Training’s course offerings and structures. One of those courses, the restorative course, is due to start this October.

“In the recent years we have seen delegates really benefit from focusing on a particular area of dentistry, such as restorative,” explains Professor Paul Tipton. 

“Our restorative course gives dentists the chance to gain more confidence and think about opening their own practice, this will give many the chance to earn a higher income and to update their skills and learn all the latest techniques and advancements.”

He goes on to describe the restorative course as a step-by-step programme in the form of practical sessions, lectures and demonstrations, ideal for dentists hoping to acquire new skills and build confidence to take on more complex cases.
