Designed for clinicians like you who want to achieve superior functional esthetics without compromising biology, this course provides a complete workflow for free-hand bonding across all anterior indications.
Conquer Every Anterior Challenge:
Space closures, Form & Color corrections, Tooth Wear & more
You will start by deepening your understanding of esthetic diagnosis, treatment planning and bio-functional anatomy. From there, you will move into layered composite strategies, learning how to select and manipulate shades, create internal color effects, and manage all together: shape, shade, internal staining, and surface texture.
You will master all techniques for correcting form and color, treating microdontia and peg laterals, for closing gaps and diastemas, while respecting tooth structure and function.
Esthetics, Function, Longevity with Minimally Invasive Composite Techniques
Throughout the course, you will participate in highly structured hands-on sessions that simulate real clinical scenarios. You will practice mono and polychromatic layering, bi-laminar in partial and full veneering based on wax-up, mock-up techniques, and silicone index-guided restorations.
With each step, you will develop the precision and repeatability needed to increase complexity and to bring predictable excellence to even your most challenging cases.

This course was exceptional. I've been placing composite veneers for years and I always struggled with shade, anatomy and staying on time. This course has given me the tools I need to provide better restorations, for my patients, while doing so faster, which is better for the patient and my practice
Great staff and instructors. Applicable hands on experience, that will be readily implementable and start adding value immediately to my practice! Very hospitable and comfortable learning environment.
The information presented was very eye opening and I am a better dentist now that I have completed this course. I would recommend this course to any dentist looking to improve their anterior composite work.
What an amazing environment! Conducive to learning and acknowledging other professionals. The level of learning exceeds the expectations and makes you feel a real professional contributing to great levels of dentistry
This course with Didier was masterful. He is a pro's pro. The presentations were amazing. Great combination of simplifying tough protocols to achieve outstanding esthetic results. I most enjoyed to focus on systematic approaches to make complete cases easier to handle
This is my first time taking such course, and it was a last-minute decision… The whole process has more than exceeded my expectations. I felt welcomed, with an amazing crowd that has behaved like a family. The quality of the course, facility, speaker/instructor has been top notch. I'm grateful & privileged to be here... will definitely be back.
"Right from the beginning, IDEA had a very different feel to it, personalized and individual care. You can tell that they care about advancing the skills of their participants and even though they are brilliant clinicians, there is no ego involved in sharing their expertise…”
"This is one of the best courses I have been to. Didier is an exceptional speaker and the knowledge and enthusiasm he brings to his course is contagious! I am looking forward to going to the clinic on Monday morning and practicing the skills I have learnt here today. I would recommend Didier and IDEA to anyone who wants to do exceptional dentistry EVERYDAY in a predictable manner."
I have been to many composite courses, and they were complicated and made the technique difficult. Dr. Dietschi simplified it all and was personable and made it simple!

Our Direct Composite Restorations course is taught by the world-leading clinician, researched and published author Dr. Didier Dietschi, who has been shaping the world’s restorative dentistry for decades.
Didier Dietschi is the early developer for many concepts, which have become an integral part of restorative dentistry today:
His specialty is to make complex procedures simple, so everybody can achieve exceptional treatment outcomes and apply innovative protocols in everyday practice.

So, just bring your clinical curiosity and willingness to learn.
Direct anterior composite restorations are placed and shaped directly on the tooth in a single visit. The dentist builds the restoration chairside using composite material and cures it with a light.
Indirect restorations are made outside the mouth, usually in a lab, and bonded to the tooth later.
Direct composites offer more control during shaping, lower cost, and easier repairs, while indirect options may be chosen for larger or more complex cases.
The advantages of direct anterior composites:
Direct anterior restorations are the new state-of-the-art technology in restorative dentistry today.
Natural results come from understanding how teeth reflect and transmit light. Instead of using one shade, dentists layer different composite opacities to mimic dentin and enamel. Proper shade selection, controlled thickness, and thoughtful placement help the restoration blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth. With practice, this approach improves depth, translucency, and overall realism.
Your best option to master your skills on this topic is to take this anterior course at IDEA.
You will be personally trained by Dr. Didier Dietschi who brings the rare combination of both clinical expertise and research. Nobody in the world has contributed as much to the development of Modern Restorative Dentistry.
You will return to your practice confident and skilled to offer your patients the most amazing treatment for any anterior situation while at the same time improving your practice’s bottom line.
Good isolation is critical for long-term success. Keeping the field dry prevents contamination that weakens the bond and causes marginal breakdown. Therefore, for long-term treatment success in adhesive dentistry, rubber dam isolation is essential to control humidity and sulcus fluid.
Modern adhesive systems, when used correctly and according to the latest research and manufacturer guidelines, help create a strong seal between tooth and composite. Careful etching, bonding, and curing all play a role in maintaining margins over time.
Adhesive dentistry has long proven its success and staying power. However, details and accuracy of every treatment step is crucial.
This course brings simplicity, efficiency, and practicability to clinical practice.
IDEA courses teach concepts and biological principles, allowing you to return to your practice making the right clinical decisions.
Our hands-on sessions use proven, well-established composite systems and instruments designed for daily clinical use. The techniques taught are not brand-dependent and can be adapted to most materials already used in practice. The focus is on improving handling, layering, shaping, and finishing skills rather than changing your entire workflow.
Long-lasting gloss depends on proper contouring before polishing and using a step-by-step polishing sequence. Fine diamonds, polishing discs, and rubber points help smooth the surface and reduce plaque retention. A well-polished composite resists staining better and maintains its color and shine longer, improving both esthetics and patient satisfaction.
In this course, you will learn to provide restorations which have proven to last for decades and are easily maintainable or repairable.
