Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Distinguished Consultants, Professors, Doctors, Students, and Future Leaders — warm greetings to you all.
It is truly a privilege to share what follows with you today, as we take a bold and transformative step in the growth of the Cosmetic Dentistry Academy of Nigeria — CDAN.
Today is not just an announcement. Today is a call — a call to leadership, a call to global relevance, and a call to opportunity.
— Dr. Monica Vincent Ajadalu, President & Founder, CDANWho We Are & Where We Are Going
The Cosmetic Dentistry Academy of Nigeria Limited, CDAN, is a global online training, professional development, and digital marketplace platform committed to advancing excellence in cosmetic and general dentistry through education, collaboration, innovation — and importantly — enterprise.
We are inviting professionals into key roles including Consultants, Professors, Lecturers, Heads of Departments, Directors, and Shareholders — all forming a global leadership structure that reflects the reach and ambition of this institution.
A Global Learning Ecosystem
Students and trainees are central to the CDAN mission. This is not simply a training programme — it is a gateway into a global professional community. Students will benefit from opportunities that are rarely available within a single institution.
What Students & Trainees Gain
- Travel opportunities for clinical exposure locally and internationally
- Clinical attachments across different locations
- Global networking with professionals and peers worldwide
- Direct mentorship from professors and experienced clinicians
- Close interaction with trainers and faculty
- Access to free lectures and interactive sessions
- Opportunities to engage directly with global presenters
- Lifelong international professional connections
This is how CDAN builds not just students — but globally relevant professionals.
World-Class Training Programmes
CDAN is committed to delivering high-quality, world-class training. Specialised programmes will be offered in areas at the forefront of modern dentistry:
- Digital dentistry and CAD/CAM technologies
- Use of intraoral scanners and digital cameras
- Clinical photography
- Modern dental techniques and innovations
To ensure global standards, we will be inviting experienced professionals and experts from across the world to deliver live webinars, interactive training sessions, masterclasses, and hands-on demonstration-based learning. These sessions will be live, engaging, and professionally delivered.
A Note on Fees & Transparency
It is important to state clearly: CDAN programmes are structured and paid. We are committed to quality, professionalism, and delivering real value — and that commitment requires appropriate investment.
- All course fees will be clearly communicated
- Pricing will be structured appropriately for each programme level
- All course pricing and programme details will be published ahead of time
- Full details will be released before the official commencement in January
Beyond Education — Building Opportunity
CDAN is not only an academy. It is a platform for enterprise, income generation, and long-term professional growth. For educators, consultants, and partners, CDAN provides:
- Teaching and income opportunities for trainers
- Revenue-sharing possibilities
- Course creation and monetisation
- Paid speaking and consulting engagements
- Participation in long-term growth and expansion (for shareholders and partners)
The CDAN Global Digital Marketplace
We are building a global digital marketplace where members can sell books, courses, and educational content, offer services and consulting, and sell dental materials, equipment, and tools — through platforms including Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Stan Store, and Nestuge, alongside our own CDAN Online Store.
In addition, CDAN has introduced a Drop Servicing Model, where we act as a central platform connecting buyers, sellers, professionals, and services. This allows members and stakeholders to sell without owning inventory, generate income through coordination, and participate in a global exchange of products and services.
Leadership Roles & Fees
To maintain a structured and sustainable global institution, CDAN has introduced the following:
- A one-time leadership listing fee of $200 for key leadership positions
- Application fees for certain specialist roles
- Flexible payment plans available
- Annual membership dues required for all members
CDAN is not just an academy. It is a platform for education, mentorship, leadership, global networking, and enterprise.
— Dr. Monica Vincent AjadaluA Personal Invitation
