FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
"Do I really need a whole course for one matrix system?"
The DRE Composite Course is an entire pathway to direct restorative excellence; The Greater Curve is our tool of choice to achieve this.
It’s about how we use this tool to create predictable outcomes - tackling the tricky scenarios that we all face in clinical practice.
Our ultimate aim is for you to achieve direct restorative mastery - so that you can get the results that you and your patients deserve every time.
"Can I do this course during my FD year?"
Absolutely!
The DRE Course has been designed to accommodate dentists from every stage in their careers - from safe beginners to seasoned pros.
In fact - you are at a massive advantage developing a solid restorative foundation early in your career.
"Do you cover composite bonding?"
We do cover anterior composite restorations - which includes class 3, class 4 , class 5 on your hands on day so you get the foundations of aesthetic restorations first.
From here you'll be able to tackle more difficult anterior build ups, edge bonding & full coverage composite veneers.
We have dedicated follow on modules including hands on training to hone specific areas including composite bonding for those who want to further advance.
"Do you offer a guarantee?"
Yes!
If for any reason you feel that the DRE Composite Course has not lived up to your expectations, just speak to Dr Sunny at the end of the hands on day, explain why you feel that way and he will give you your money back - no stress, no problem and no hard feelings.
(By the way this has NEVER happened but the offer is genuine, that's why you have absolutely ZERO risk when you enrol).
"What's the point, can't I just go indirect?"
If the margins are subgingival than an indirect restoration may not help you navigate that.
Having a well bonded composite restoration beneath the indirect restoration will have the best chance of success. Foundations first.
Our approach will enable you to perform deep margin elevation (DME) predictably in order to facilitate an indirect restoration more easily.
"How many people will be on the course"
We want you to have the very best learning experience.
That’s why we only allow a maximum of 25 delegates per Cohort.
It means your DRE Course instructor (The Drill Sergeant) and Training Staff will be able to give you the one on one time you need to get the most of of your investment.
