Frequently Asked Questions

Who should attend?

This hands on clinical dentistry program is designed for general dentists who want to improve their confidence, efficiency and outcomes in aesthetic and restorative dentistry. The course is suitable for clinicians looking to refine direct composite techniques, improve treatment planning and deliver more predictable anterior aesthetic results. Both experienced clinicians and early-career dentists will gain practical value from the program.

The course is led by internationally recognised restorative dentist Jason Smithson.

Is this hands on

Yes. The workshop component is heavily hands-on and focused on practical implementation, not just theory. Delegates will work through real-world restorative techniques step-by-step with direct guidance and live demonstrations throughout the course. The emphasis is on techniques that can be applied immediately in clinical practice.

How many CPD Hours

CPD hours vary depending on the program format and city schedule. The full-day lecture and two days hands-on programs typically provide 19.5 substantial verifiable CPD hours aligned with Australian dental education requirements. Final CPD allocations are confirmed on the individual event registration page.
