Art of Foundations

Introduction

The two-day foundation level course: ignite your journey into the world of composite bonding. The course will simplify resin to show you how to use only one or two shades to create natural, long lasting results in efficient ways for your patient.

See 10+ year cases with no staining or chipping.

The foundation course is almost entirely hands-on to maximise your learning and skills. Teaching will include live step-by-step instruction as well as looping instructional videos. This allows every delegate to be fully supported each step of the way.
