The ethos behind SmileFast has always been to make good quality dentistry available to EVERY dentist and EVERY patient. We stand by this ethos in everything we do, and the SmileFast Implant Diploma is just another example of how we have re-worked and re-engineered a traditional (and usually very expensive) process to make contemporary general dentistry more cost-effective and more available to those who want to learn and progress their careers.
We want to break down the barriers to learning implants and high course fees was one of those barriers. Now we have a business model which gives you great value, as well as maintaining a high standard of education.
