Aesthetics Always Matter
At this course we will focus on shape, shape is one of the most important parts of aesthetic dentistry. If you don't get the shape right, the tooth will never look right.
You will complete composite resin fillings using various techniques. You will learn about tooth morphology and how embrasures affect how teeth look. You will learn free hand techniques that will give your patients the aesthetic results they desire.
In addition, you will prep anterior teeth for crowns using various methods.
You will finish hours of live hands-on learning and have a better understanding of how to create composite resin fillings and crown preps on anterior teeth.
You will be faster, more confident and enjoy your dentistry more.

Consumables for the Anterior Module
In most parts of the world, you can access these from your normal channels at lower cost than we can, even with sponsorship. To focus on our vision of making education more available and accessible, it is more efficient for you to acquire your own consumables.
We also want to avoid teaching you on a material that you will never use. We are happy for you to substitute your own brand if you prefer, as it is about technique more than materials.
Register your interest for individual courses
We have created the Fellowship as a logical learning sequence, and sold as a four module continuum.
If there is any space in any of the modules, we can sell individual places. However those doing the full course will be offered priority.
Please register your interest below and we will keep you updated if an individual module becomes available.
The only course that will not be offered individually is Full Mouth Rehabilitation.
This is only for those who have completed the first 3 modules (Anterior, Posterior and Quadrant, and Veneers and Aesthetics).
