Dentistry remains one of the most popular fields in the UK and is growing in popularity, as practitioners enjoy social status and high remuneration. Thousands of overseas dentists are looking to practice in the UK but most of them have no idea about how to do it, which one is the most appropriate way or which route is safer.
Despite the severe shortage of dentists, especially in the NHS, increasing evidence demonstrates the difficulties candidates encounter in completing the license examinations.
BECOMING A FULLY QUALIFIED DENTIST IN THE UK
As Knightsbridge Academy, a London based learning provider, we are delivering comprehensive dental training courses and postgraduate education programmes to all around the world since 2010.
In collaboration with College of Medicine & Dentistry (COMD), which is Birmingham-based higher education school, we are proud of offering a range of great programmes to support you in your dental career journey to the UK.
1. Preparing for GDC Registration Programme – Dental Therapist
Providing alternative opportunities to the dentists attempting to complete the ORE and LDS examination. This is by training them on how to register as dental therapists or dental hygienists, which enables them to work and practice within the relevant scope. We have mapped a simplified guidance on route to registration to GDC as a dental therapist which will be your first step in your dental career journey to the UK.

2. MSc in Advanced General Dental Practice (AGDP)
This one-year full-time programme not only delivers the knowledge and skills required for the ORE and LDS examinations but also graduates the students with a Level 7 University degree at Master’s level. Upon completion of the MSc programme, international students are able to extend their stay in the UK on a two-year work visa – For more information about post-study work visa, please click here.
3. ORE/LDS Preparation Courses: Part 1 & Part 2
There are plenty of ORE/LDS courses in the UK but this is a unique course that is held in Istanbul, Turkey. If you live in Turkey, or in a country which has easy access to Turkey, this programme is a great option for you.
WHY ISTANBUL?
We are well aware that travelling to the United Kingdom sometimes can be very difficult for citizens of non-EU countries because of the distance or strict visa procedures of the UK.
To make your processes more comfortable, the face-to-face sessions of the programmes (except Fulltime MSc programmes) are organized in Istanbul, Turkey, which is one of the most convenient cities in the world for travelling to.
Istanbul is the centre of the 4-hour-flight-circle. It means, from 3 continents and 56 countries, more than 1.6 billion people, can reach Istanbul via 4 hours or less flight. Most of that people can come to Turkey without any visa requirement or can get “e-visa” easily.
