Course Overview

IAS Academy has partnered with Optident to deliver ortho-restorative education based on successful aligner therapy aimed at General Dental Practitioners.

Guy graduated from Newcastle University in 2005 and completed his MFGDP qualification shortly after. He is an experienced general dentist with a focus on aesthetics. His aim is to give his patients a natural and functional dentition. He has completed extended courses in restorative dentistry, occlusion and endodontics and over the years has fine-tuned his knowledge by seeing as many leaders in their specific fields of dentistry as he can. Guy completed the IAS Advanced Course in 2008 and in 2021 was given the opportunity to teach for IAS with the ABB course. Alongside this Guy also teaches composite placement, rubber dam isolation and matrices for the Northern Deanery.

Day two is the Ortho Restorative course (covering White Dental Beauty Teeth Whitening gels).

Included is access to the mentoring platform, allowing clinicians to post their first case for Suitability Checks, Treatment Plan Discussions and Full Case Support.
