Fantastic experience. The small group of like-minded professionals was a joy. Dr. Dietschi was a great presenter, humble, funny and fully available to us. His material is practical to implement, incredible service for patients, very supported by research. His slides are as beautiful as the dentistry he does. The hands-on is transferable to my office. The IDEA support team are so helpful and available. I have not had a better course!
Dr. Dietschi is a true master of restorative dentistry. He has incredible ability to break down the complex topics into bite sized information that we can apply into our daily practice.
I think this course makes me see a different way to screen my patients and the give the knowledge to identify different occlusal patterns, when I go back to work on Monday morning. In the hands-on lab an opportunity to improve the way I restore my patients, to bring quality for my work and longevity to my treatments.
I had an outstanding experience during last 4 days. Dr. Didier Dietschi is exceptional teacher and a great human being. All these ideas are very practical and can be used immediately.
I have been to many occlusion courses, but found several hard to implement in the office, or more concerning, very aggressive in treatment. This is the first course I have attended where restoring has been on the patient side of minimalist and preventative of more damage. I can't wait to implement these principles with my patients.
A very thorough and practical course. It's extremely helping me improve my practice and elevate patient care. I feel confident that I could implement the technique I learned here.
Dr. Didier was the strong faculty for bonded restorations I had been missing during my years in practice. Strong research consorted by clinical experience, as well as infectious passion has changed the way I will restore dentitions forward. Thank you for a wonderful experience and great fun!
Didier has extensive knowledge of composite restorations and bonding protocols. His restorative approach offers a functional, esthetic and cost-effective alternative to ceramics and other full coverage crowns. If you are in the fence considering this course, I recommend it.
Didier is a great instructor and awesome clinician. After taking this course any doubts or fears I had about doing these types of procedures were erased. From the teaching to the facility top notch. Highly recommend!
I am just glad to be in a place, with a small group, approachable instructor, kind colleagues, and being taken care of. I always learn practical skills and gain relevant knowledge to further improve my craft.
Dr. Dietschi simplified complex concepts and tied them to clear evidence-based protocols supported by decades of follow-ups. He renewed my appreciation for how science and simplicity can work hand in hand in everyday dentistry. I am leaving with more confidence and better results.
This course really helped me see more of my potential. It was amazing to learn from a true master and to see how well researched the protocols are. It gives confidence to apply these concepts knowing my patients will benefit for decades to come!
Excellent course, friendly staff, lots to learn. Such an enjoyable and life changing experience.
Dr. Dietschi’s philosophy reinforced my confidence in treating complex esthetic and functional cases conservatively. His courses are invaluable for any dentist striving to elevate their clinical excellence. They refine efficiency, strengthen diagnostic and treatment planning skills, and empower clinicians to deliver sophisticated, minimally invasive care with confidence and precision
I decided to take this course because there is a great need for this service at my practice. I am ready to implement these techniques, and I know there will be a tremendous ROI as I’ve seen with the other courses I’ve taken at IDEA.
Amazing practical information. Truly the master of Biomimetic Dentistry. It’s very encouraging to see the long-term clinical results of the approach.
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!
