Choose the 2-day course if you want a fast, affordable entry into smile makeovers, are new to veneers, or want to refresh your techniques without a large time or financial commitment.
Choose the 8-day course if you want to go deeper - treating a patient from your own practice*, mastering occlusion fully, using advanced technology like Digital Smile Design and 3D scanning, and building a complete cosmetic practice skillset over several months.
The two courses also complement each other well - several delegates have completed the 2-day course first as a stepping stone before going onto the 8-day programme.
*As a Hands On dentist, you get to keep the fees that you charge the patient. This largely pays off for your 8-day Course fee!
