Dentofacial Aesthetics: A Multidisciplinary Masterclass
Wednesday 18 November 2026, 2pm to 6.30pm, followed by a drinks reception
Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London
Co-badged with the RSM Sections of Odontology and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Programme and booking: Dentofacial aesthetics: a multidisciplinary masterclass

“Function and aesthetics cannot be separated. How the jaws, teeth, muscles and airway work shapes how the face looks and how it ages. Good care starts with a systematic, evidence-based assessment of the whole face by the specialists who understand each part of it, not with a product or a technique. This masterclass brings orthodontists, maxillofacial and plastic surgeons, periodontists, dermatologists and scientists onto one platform, independent of industry, so that patients receive safe, appropriate treatment planned as a team. To our knowledge, it is the first meeting of its kind in the UK or internationally.”
Dr Souphi Samizadeh, President, Section of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, Royal Society of Medicine
