Course Overview

Your Patients Are Sick. They Just Haven't Been Told Yet.

Periodontal disease that keeps coming back. Implants that won't integrate. Wounds that won't heal. Patients who follow your advice and still don't get better.

It's not your technique. It's their metabolism.

Tif Qureshi has spent years connecting the dots between what's happening in the mouth and what's happening in the body. The results are undeniable: better outcomes, stronger case acceptance, and a rock-solid medico-legal position.

This one-day course will change the way you practise. For good.

Course Structure

Stop guessing. Start knowing.

Most dentists are flying blind. You're making treatment decisions without the one piece of information that changes everything: what's actually going on inside your patient's body.

By the end of the day, you'll be doing something very few dentists in the UK can do: making evidence-based, metabolically-informed clinical decisions.

The questions your patients can't answer, but their blood can.

Are dentists seeing the consequences of poor metabolic health every single day without realising it?  Yes.

Could failing to recognise obvious metabolic risk factors become a medico-legal issue in the near future?  Almost certainly.

Are your current medical history forms missing information that could make or break a treatment outcome?  Almost definitely.

This course doesn't just answer these questions. It gives you a system for acting on them.

This is for you if...

You're frustrated by patients who don't heal the way they should. You're placing implants and taking a risk you can't fully quantify. You want to offer patients something most dental practices simply can't. You want to be ahead of the curve, not scrambling to catch up when systemic health screening becomes the standard of care.

This is not for you if you're happy treating teeth in isolation and ignoring the body they're attached to.

Course Benefits

  • Identify metabolic disease that's silently sabotaging your dental outcomes
  • Use biomarkers like HbA1c, Vitamin D, CRP and C-Peptides to adapt your treatment plans
  • Carry out finger-prick blood tests yourself, in surgery, in minutes
  • Communicate findings to patients in a way that keeps you firmly within scope
  • Build a medico-legal defence that protects you as dentistry evolves
  • Know exactly which patients need additional testing and which referrals to make

One day. One course. A completely different way of practising dentistry.

Tif Qureshi

Tif Qureshi

Dr Tif Qureshi qualified from Kings College London in 1992. He is a Past President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Tif is founder and a clinical director of IAS Academy, an International faculty that provides mentored education for general dentists on a pathway from appropriate simple to comprehensive orthodontics.

Tif has a special interest in simple orthodontics and truly minimally invasive dentistry. He has committed his life’s work to empowering dentists to provide important alternative techniques. He offers a wide variety of treatments to many more patients, while always respecting the fundamental precepts of orthodontics.

Tif also pioneered the concept of Progressive Smile Design through Alignment, Bleaching, Bonding – a course that combines tooth alignment, composite bonding and teeth whitening to produce superior smiles using techniques with the absolute minimum of invasiveness available today.

An experienced teacher in the Dahl concept, Tif shows how this technique is used to plan tooth alignment and minimise invasive dentistry in the development of a beautiful smile.

Tif now lectures and published scientific articles internationally.
