What Feeds Your Passion to Teach?

I really like the interaction of hands-on courses.

Seeing delegates do lovely simulation exercises revitalizes my passion for restorative dentistry.

I also enjoy the challenges presented by distance learning programmes in restorative, aesthetic and MI dentistry.

Who Inspires you the Most in Your Career?

My mentors Adrian Shortall and Trevor Burke, composite genius Dipesh Parmar and Mike Sharland who taught me clinical photography.

Why Do You Choose to Work with Optident?

I have been using Optident products in practice for 30 years.

So, on our series of hands-on courses around the UK, I was delighted to have the opportunity to introduce other dentists and therapists to the wide range of their innovative materials and equipment, designed to optimise aesthetic and cosmetic restorative procedures.
