Centre for Advanced Dental Education (CADE)

Join the mailing list to discover our latest events!

Overview

The Centre for Advanced Dental Education (CADE) was established in 2006, before compulsory Continuing Professional Education (CPE) programme was mandated by the Singapore Dental Council from 2007 and enacted by the Dental Registration Act in 2008. It is one of the Faculty’s strategic initiatives that aims to raise its profile through providing quality continuing dental education locally and regionally. This is in line with the government’s vision for Singapore to be a regional medical hub which includes dental services. As a leader in continuing dental education then and now, CADE has forged a strong identity through two Graduate Diploma programmes in Dental Implantology and Geriatric Dentistry, SkillsFuture Singapore(SSG) funded courses. We are also partnering three other prestigious dental schools namely King’s College London, University of North Carolina and The University of Melbourne under DentAlliance to bring world-leading expertise to enhance professional practice in dentistry. We hope to tailor workshops, courses and programmes with you in mind, so that they are relevant to your practice and we look to receiving your feedback. Let us work together towards good oral health for our patients by improving dental care through continuing education.
