Testimonials

The course has been really great. I have learnt a lot over the two days and will be applying a lot to my daily dentistry. I can see how this will make my life a lot easier when making dentures.

Alice Glen - GDP

Excellent course – Finlay explains whole process of complete denture consultation, diagnosis and treatment in a great way.

Jaswinder Bardha - GDP

Finlay’s courses are a rare opportunity to learn from one of the best in the UK. Finlay in addition is one of the most approachable teachers and he is not afraid to discuss about failures. He doesn’t believe as if he is on top of the game, discouraging you by making you think you can never reach that level. Finally, although he works in a really high end dental environment, the tips and the way the course is delivered can be applied to any dental environment.

Vasilieos Gannoulis - GDP

Great course. Have a good think about what you want out of it in order to get the most out of it. From tips to improve/help NHS/standard dentures, to getting the confidence/ability to start making exceptional F/F dentures.
