Testimonials from attendees:

"Don't think about it. Just book on the courses. Some of the best money I've spent in Dentistry."  Paul Woodhouse, Dental Practitioner, Stockton on Tees, UK.

"Finlay, in one day has changed my perspective on what I saw as a tired old treatment modality. I can't wait to get back to the practice and implement it.

Quote from Finlay:

"My clinical courses are designed for all experiences of dentists, prosthodontists, denturists, dental technicians, dental nurses and other interested members of the dental team. They are aimed at igniting love and enthusiasm for removable prosthodontics, showing how we can change our patients’ lives with beautifully made dentures. I help attendees understand the process for achieving natural dentures with superb function, including step-by-step clinical techniques packed full of practical advice ready to put straight into practice. I cover removable partial dentures, complete dentures, immediate dentures and implant retained dentures. These courses are thoroughly practical and clinically useful day; illustrated with photographs and videos showing how I and my dental technician, Rowan Garstang, produce removable dentures exhibiting superb form and function.

My course fees are high and reflect the quality of the clinical work. I am completely honest and transparent, holding nothing back technically and emotionally so that attendees benefit maximally - which I find they truly love.  My presentations show meticulous documentation of each patient I treat, beautifully illustrated with photos and videos. These clinical courses are designed so that delegates can put into practice the practical advice straight away on Monday morning."

LITERALLY MIND-BLOWING – BRYN’S TAKE ON OUR LATEST RPD COURSE

Wow. We’ve just wrapped up the May 2025 Partial Denture Course in Garstang, and I’m still buzzing from the energy in the room.

One delegate, Bryn Thompson (GDC 81202), described it in two words:

“Actually speechless.”

It’s a personal reflection called:

“Kindness from the dentist is more important than technical skill.” - Video

Over the years, I’ve come to realise that what truly matters to patients often isn’t just how clever we are with our hands – it’s how we make them feel.
