A-Z of Restorative Dentistry (Module 2)

Course summary

The Direct Restoration of Anterior Teeth with Composite Resin.

Conventionally, discoloured teeth, diastemas, peg laterals and advanced wear cases are treated
with indirect restorations: crowns and veneers.

This approach is well based in the literature and over time, has proven highly successful. However, in some cases it may prove expensive in terms of overall cost, treatment times and most critically loss of tooth structure.

This module is designed to revise core knowledge of colour, layering and polishing and to build on this to allow the delegate to confidently approach more challenging anterior cases with direct resin in combination with simple occlusal rehabilitation and bleaching where indicated.

All Testimonials chevron_right

The whole course was brilliant. I have been on several restorative courses in the past and this was far and away the best one I’ve been on. All the tutors were very approachable and knowledgeable on the subject and the relaxed environment and venue added to the experience. Thanks again!

Stephen Deboo, University of Liverpool

The A-Z of Restorative Dentistry course with Jason Smithson provided a comprehensive update on restorative dentistry with high end outcomes in mind. Jason’s presentations were all evidence based and simultaneously managed to inspire and entertain. The course structure allowed in depth discussion on cases including our own patients. A major element of the course was hands on with clear demonstrations and support throughout.

Eddie Bateman

The Restorative course has helped me in my daily practice, it has a good mix of theory and hands-on skills and has made me feel more confident in tackling cosmetic cases that I may have referred in the past. Jason’s dentistry and breadth of knowledge is inspirational and it was a pleasure to learn from someone who is a master of their craft.

Chis Cumming

Throughly enjoy the course. The pre course webinars were very useful so we could focus on the practical aspects from the start. I learned a huge amount which I will be able to use to improve my patient care and gain more enjoyment from my work. I found Jason’s teaching style to be very relaxed giving me the confidence to ask questions. The learning support and feedback from Gordon and Ian was incredibly valuable. I will definitely be booking into more courses in the future. Feeling very motivated. Thank you all.
