WHAT DENTISTS SAY ABOUT THE ACADEMY BY ASH

TESTIMONIALS

“Completing this 8-day course with Dr Ash has been an amazing and invaluable experience, and a great investment in my dental career. Ash is brilliant! He is extremely knowledgeable and very experienced. He is an excellent educator breaking down complex topics like occlusion in a more simple, clear way. The course was structured so well covering everything you need to get you prepared for smile makeover cases. In particular, I enjoyed Ash’s lectures on the new patient journey, and getting the reception/treatment coordinator staff involved. The comprehensive dental assessment taught on Day 2 was detailed and helped me a lot with treatment planning – I can now plan and take on bigger cases that I wouldn’t have had the confidence to attempt before. With our small group learning, there was ample opportunity to ask Ash lots of questions and take the time to really understand the topics. Having Ash there on the hands on days was a fantastic opportunity – I picked up so many gems from his teachings. I also learnt a lot watching the other 5 cases being treated by dentists – this was invaluable as each case had its own challenges. It has truly been a fantastic course!”

Conal Gallagher (Associate dentist, Hands On)

“The Ash Parmar Hands On Smile Makeover Course has been an incredible investment in terms of my time and money. Ash is very knowledgeable & approachable and has an entertaining teaching style. I feel privileged to have learnt from the best! My favourite lectures were the preparation and cementation ones – it was good to know the systems and which dental materials to buy. I have already got multiple cases lined up in my own practice. I am very confident that I will be able to provide world class dental care unassisted. Thank you so much Ash (& Rob) – this Course has changed the trajectory of my career for the better.”

“Ash is an extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled clinician and mentor. He has given me the confidence and skills to change the way I provide dental treatment to my patients in order to give them the highest quality of dental care. The hands on element was the best way to learn, and like no other course! One of my favourite days was Day 4 – where Ash explained all about occlusion. This is a complex topic and he made it easy to learn and apply. I also enjoyed learning about Smile Design – analysing the shapes and proportions of teeth. Ash goes above and beyond to ensure you get the most out of the course. I was initially nervous of treating my patient in front of other dentists, but Ash made it a relaxing environment and allowed me to learn so much. Ash provided lots of tips and encouragement throughout, which meant that my patient finished with a beautiful result. The folders that we were given were very thorough, and will be excellent to refer back to. The catering on the course was excellent – Ash and his staff even made sure there were gluten free options for my nurse. This was my first veneers course that I have attended, and it has exceeded my expectations! I now have the confidence and technical skills to take on complex cases that I would never have dreamt of doing before.”

Dr Ella McDonald

“I was very impressed with this course, which really exceeded my expectations. It covered all the necessary aspects of porcelain veneers dentistry, and so much more as well. Ash is a brilliant educator – he was very helpful and excellent at explaining things. Ash is one of my favourite course educators, he is naturally likeable and very approachable. He is very passionate about what he does, and it was lovely to see all of his own fantastic work. Treating my patient was the best thing about the course. I learn best in this way, and it was great to learn from other cases going on at the same time. Ash coached me through the whole process amazingly. The course has been thought provoking and stimulating – at the end of each day my mind was always buzzing! I can’t wait to get back to work and put all of these nuggets of information to good use. The structure and pace of the course is well thought out. I really enjoyed Ash’s last lecture – it gave me many lessons about wider life, and not just dentistry. I had heard great things about Ash and this course, but it was much more than just a dentistry course.”

“This has been my first course with Ash and this is the best decision I have made to improve my clinical skills with porcelain veneers. Dr Ash has been extremely approachable. His explanations on everything are very thorough, and the reading material provided for the future is extremely detailed and will prove to be of great help in my own clinical practice. I recommended my husband who is a dentist to enrol on to next year’s course. In summary, this course is an absolute no brainer and a total game changer. I would like to recommend Dr Ash as a mentor and his course for significant growth in one’s career.”

Dr Bhavika Parekh

Dr Jai Patel

“Ash has been a fantastic teacher and mentor. He is very approachable, and teaches in a way or using methods that make it easy to grasp. I had been waiting for his course for over a year, and I only wish I had done it earlier. The one-to-one teaching and experience with Ash supervising my case was one of the best things on the course. I am now going to implement his shared knowledge in my clinical work, and look forward to do more complex cases under his mentorship.”

“I wanted one course that made smile design and full mouth rehabs digestible and simple. Ash’s 8-day course was it! I knew I had to be a hands on delegate to make the most out of the course. I treated my father, who had some cosmetic concerns as well as tooth wear. It’s a great confidence boost and I feel well equipped to implement the knowledge into daily practice. Everything from the examination to clinical techniques was covered in detail. I would strongly recommend the 8-day course to anyone who wants to up their game in cosmetic dentistry!”

Dr Patrick O’Connor

“Education with Ash is the best postgraduate learning I have had in 30 years as a dentist. Ash is passionate and a great communicator, he holds nothing back and is super interested in giving each dentist the ability and motivation to master smile makeovers. I came from Ireland as an Observer dentist, and seeing the process repeated 6 times on the patients being treated reinforced the predictability of Ash’s methods. The training folders given were very comprehensive and will be a great reference. This has been a fantastic course. I have learnt so much that my mind boggles. Ash has given me the confidence to do dentistry that I never thought possible, and by breaking it down in to bite-sized chunks, it somehow seems so easy now.”

“Ash has all the qualities that make him the best mentor in the UK. He is honest, sincere, thorough, passionate, engaging, empathetic, respectful and excellent at communication. I came as an Observer dentist on the 2023 Hands On course. I found the course highly structured. The in depth knowledge that I gathered on the first four days alone was more than I learnt on my years of the MSc Course! I would highly recommend this Course, and I have immediately booked my Associate on the next course, as I want him to learn the best from the best. The most important reason for me to sign up on this course was to get an insight in to Ash’s spirituality and his application of this in his professional life – this is a rare combination. Ash’s course is on the pinnacle of education, and I would love to see Ash establishing and owning a Smile Makeover university – only one of its kind in the world!”

Dr Pravin Kadam

Dr Patrick Bannister

“Ash’s passion for dentistry and creating beautiful smiles is what really shines throughout the course. The course exceeded my expectations and the attention to detail is second to none, many aspects I had not considered previously were explained in a clear and concise manner. The course has transformed the way I think about smile makeovers. It has given me the ability to discuss these treatments with patients and know that I can offer top quality results which last. As a young dentist, I often felt “out of my depth” or that I was not good enough to take on these type of cases. I was honoured that my patient was Rob Storrar from Amdecc Dental Laboratory – one of the best ceramist technicians in the UK. During the hands on part, I was much more relaxed than I was expecting. Ash and Rob’s belief in me as a dentist to carry out this case successfully has given me a lot of confidence. The close involvement with the laboratory technician was invaluable.”

“Dr Ash Parmar is an exceptional educator whose passion for teaching and attention to detail set him apart as a master dentist. His deep understanding of principles combined with his engaging teaching style makes complex topics such as occlusion accessible and easy to understand. Ash is also very approachable, kind, humble and explains things well. He is open about his mistakes and how he has learned.

My favourite part of the Course was the Hands On days. The organisation, efficiency, and planning with all the systems was very well structured. Treating my patient was a 10/10 experience and has improved my confidence drastically. Ash has a very keen eye and is a wet fingered, skilled dentist. Observing the other cases also helped implement what was taught on the Course. My favourite lectures were on Smile Design – this has made a big improvement in my understanding and planning of cases. Ash’s lectures on Communication has also improved my efficiency and case acceptance massively.

Ash has a unique ability to inspire and motivate, and has created a learning environment that fosters critical thinking, practical skills and overall allows his students to thrive.”

Hazem Jouda (Associate dentist, Hands On)

Helene Binou (Observer dentist)

“I had the privilege of attending Dr Ash Parmar’s Smile Design Course, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Ash is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled professional who is truly passionate about what he does. He is an excellent mentor and explains things in a simple way. He has the skill to instil confidence in his students. His approach to treatment planning is thorough and insightful, making complex cases easy to understand and apply. He is very approachable, always willing to take the time to answer questions and provide guidance. As an Observer dentist, it was great to watch 6 live cases – each of them was very different. I learnt a lot from this. Thanks to Ash’s expertise, I now feel more confident in my ability to design beautiful, functional smiles. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to elevate their skills in this area!”

“Ash is a character. He is passionate about his work and teaching. I would say he is the best cosmetic leader in the UK. He is very professional, a fantastic speaker, mentor and teacher. His vast experience helps ordinary GDPs to think very differently compared to before the course. He changes dentists’ ways of thinking. I am very happy to have completed this course. It has exceeded my expectations.

Treating a patient was very important for me to learn. Trying with your own hands on a real patient is the best learning experience. I would 100% recommend this course. Any dentist that completes the course could confidently start delivering life changing transformations for patients who were shy to smile for their whole lives.”

Petro Semko (Principal dentist, Hands On)

Dhivya Mathew (Associate dentist, Hands On)

“This is hands down the best course to do if you want to do full mouth dentistry! Ash’s enthusiasm and energy was infectious. Throughout the course, Ash worked relentlessly to ensure that all the delegates understood every step from treatment planning to cementation. In my opinion, watching live cases and treating a patient is the best way to learn. Ash’s attention to detail translates in his teaching style. The two folders that Ash gave were also very informative. My confidence in treating large cases has increased greatly since doing this course. Thank you Ash for helping me to take my dentistry to world class standards.”

“Ash Parmar is a very charming and effective coach – a great clinician. His acumen for business, with a very strong emphasis on ethics and attention to detail is commendable. The entire course is really useful right from patient communication, occlusion, pitfalls, and business/marketing is something every practice owner needs to avail of. Ash’s messages are clear and concise and all that is taught is relevant and useful. My experience treating my patient was absolutely brilliant. Ash is a great guide and mentor, hand holding when needed. My favourite lectures were on occlusion and treating a wear case. The two folders that Ash provides are amazing, clear, and precise with all the details beautifully covered.”

Ketan Panwalkar (Principal dentist, Hands On)

Jane Laks (Associate dentist, Hands On)

“Treating a patient during the course and observing the other clinical cases was an invaluable experience. It has truly elevated my understanding and passion for aesthetic dentistry. The personalised guidance from Ash went beyond what I expected. Watching how Ash handled clinical cases also provided a deeper understanding of case planning, decision making and achieving aesthetic outcomes. Ash is an exceptional dental educator, he combines deep expertise with a truly engaging teaching style. This course is a must for any dentist looking to master cosmetic dentistry and provide exceptional results.”
