Removable prosthodontic courses I run consisting of lectures and live clinical demonstrations:

These courses are aimed at general dentists, prosthodontists, clinical dental technicians and dental technicians. They are completely clinical, demonstrating how to provide dentures which have optimal function and superb aesthetics. I give live patient demonstrations along with lectures abundantly illustrated with step-by-step photographs and videos of all procedures. Delegates will take many “nuggets of gold”, being able to put the advice straight into practice with immediate improvement in professional satisfaction and patient outcomes.

Please see details for future courses given by Finlay over the next 2 years.
