Forward By Dr Balwant Vekaria and Dr Azhar Sheikh

We are proud to inform that the Tatum Institute -Dental Implant Training Course is now held at THE LONDON DENTAL STUDIO in Central London. The practice has full in-house surgical and teaching facilities including a purpose built lecture theatre with audio visual facilities, and is ideally located and equipped to provide a first class teaching and learning experience.

A crucial benefit of holding the Dental Implant Course in a busy dental implant practice such as The London Dental Studio in Victoria London is that the course participants have the opportunity to integrate the academic teaching with real life experience of seeing the practice team at work delivering high quality dental implant care.

Dr Azhar Sheikh and Dr Balwant Vekaria have been fortunate to be associated with Professor Hilt Tatum and to train and work with him for twenty years.

Tatum institute in UK is the premier place in the United Kingdom to learn the NIRISAB philosophy. Our classes cater to each individuals experience level and learning style.

Grow by Expanding your Knowledge and Experience

The goal is for your practice to grow by expanding your knowledge and experiences in treatment of patients. We emphasize treatment planning the will allow the majority of patients to be stable for the rest of their life. This is accomplished by managing the forces transferred into the bone from prosthetic components through the supporting abutments.
