Dr Tariq Ali

Tariq Ali is an experienced implant dentist with more than 20 years in clinical practice and a particular interest in advanced implant rehabilitation and digital workflows. He is the Clinical Lead at the Centre for Implant Dentistry (CID) in Glasgow, a referral-only practice dedicated to predictable implant outcomes.

Tariq is Course Director of the Dental Implant Diploma (DID), a Level 11 postgraduate programme designed to support dentists in developing implant knowledge and skills. He regularly lectures nationally and internationally on implant dentistry, with a focus on practical decision-making, risk management, and collaborative care between general practitioners and implant clinicians.

Tariq said: “I have had the pleasure of speaking at the Scottish Dental Show on several occasions and it remains one of the most engaging and well-organised events in the dental calendar. The audience is always highly interactive, and the opportunity to connect with general dental practitioners in a practical, clinically focused setting is invaluable.

“It’s a fantastic platform for sharing knowledge, discussing real-world challenges and contributing to the ongoing development of the profession. I always look forward to returning and being part of such a dynamic and supportive educational environment.”
