Before you book.

I’m an experienced dentist. Is this course aimed at newer grads?

It’s designed for dentists at different stages of practice who’d like to build skill in crown and onlay preparations, anterior and posterior.

I have a very specific question. Will there be room for it?

We keep workshops small so there’s more time to work through your questions with you, which can be difficult in a larger room.

How many teeth will I prep?

You’ll prep at least seven across the day, including anterior and posterior, full coverage and partial coverage.

There’s part of the prep I find tricky. Will that be addressed?

With a small group, there’s plenty of one-on-one time at your bench. We can spend some time working through whatever you’d like to focus on.

Is it a lot of lecture?

Theory is kept short, with the day centred around three hands-on blocks: anterior crowns, onlays and posterior crowns.

What do I need to bring on the day?

You only need your loupes (and light, if you have one) and a note-taking device. We’ll supply the tooth models, handpieces and motors.

What if my plans change?

We understand plans can change. Cancel 31 or more days before for a full refund, or 15 to 30 days before for a 50% refund. Within 14 days, we’re unable to offer a refund.
