“This course has absolutely changed my practice for the better”

Dr Kate Walker has recently completed the Reveal: Confident Smile Makeover course from the IAS Academy. She describes her experience:

“My background is private general dentistry, and I have a busy list of existing patients of all ages. My ethos is providing my patients with the most ethical, minimally invasive treatments that I can. I decided to take the Reveal: Confident Smile Makeover course as I wanted to become more confident in assessing and providing cosmetic treatments.

“What I didn’t expect was a course that really spoke to me and my ethos. This course wasn’t focussed on solely cosmetic dentistry, but rather functional, minimally invasive, cosmetic dentistry that offers the patient a range of benefits.

“I have invested a lot of time learning to deal with tooth wear and TMD, but this course was a lightbulb moment for me, and the last piece of the puzzle! ‘You don’t yet know, what you don’t yet know’ and after completing this course I find it easier to spot things and recommend ethical treatments that best suit the patient.

“Dr Tif Qureshi delivered the course over 2 days, and his way of teaching is very inspiring and insightful. The great thing about the IAS Academy is that they follow up and support you afterwards. This means that you always have someone to talk to and ask questions about your cases in as much detail as you need.

“Additionally, you don’t need to have a constant flow of new patients to be able to carry out this treatment type. The knowledge and treatments can be beneficial to a lot of existing patients who may present with other issues like tooth wear, or repeatedly chipping anterior teeth.

“This course has absolutely changed my practice for the better, and I will definitely be doing another course with the IAS Academy soon!”
