London Dental Institute

What London Dental Institute does

London Dental Institute (LDI), operated by London Dentistry Training Ltd, is a UK private limited company that delivers online postgraduate dental education to practising dentists worldwide. Its core portfolio consists of three 12-month part-time EduQual Level 7 diploma programmes — in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Aesthetic & Restorative Dentistry, and Dental Implantology & Oral Surgery — plus a self-paced Complete Composites short course. Programmes are priced at approximately £9,995 for a diploma (with a £95-deposit monthly instalment option at £825 × 12) and £995 plus VAT for the short course, with all monthly payment plans and VAT applied to UK dentists.

The delivery model is built on a proprietary Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) providing 24/7 access to course modules, a clinical case support portal for 1:1 tutoring, monthly Live Study Clubs on Zoom, and a free iOS/Android mobile app. A Clinical Simulation Kit is shipped worldwide to support hands-on practice of orthodontic techniques, and the orthodontics curriculum integrates the third-party WebCeph AI platform for cephalometric analysis. LDI also offers optional paid in-person training in Central London, including conferences, cadaver courses, and pig-head workshops.

LDI monetises primarily through course fee revenue, recurring via new cohort enrolments, with one-time short-course fees and optional professional services (in-person workshops) as additional streams. Acquisition is digital-first and product-led, supported by a self-serve website enrollment flow, organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), email newsletters, and a community-led referral motion through a Graduate Network of 700+ alumni across 92+ countries. LDI holds EduQual Level 7 accreditation, institutional membership in the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE), and reports a 4.9/5 average course rating from students; no external funding, parent company, or leadership disclosures are present in the available data.
