  • “I very much value the Denter Aesthetic Restorative Courses, led by Dr Ian Cline. Ian shared his generous insights into all aspects of dentistry, and showed a careful, methodical approach for all types of cases. Skills such as Dental Photography and Digital Imaging are taught, and their importance cannot be overly emphasised. All days were well structured and informative. I greatly appreciated his advice on exactly which materials and instruments that are required to produce a high standard of work. I would like to recommend these courses to all dentists who are passionate about learning and who want to grow professionally.”

    Dr Valentina Barbieru, Dentist, UK

  • "Denter is a fantastic course for learning and fine-tuning your dentistry. It definitely makes you enjoy dentistry more. Ian teaches in a simplified fashion that is easy to follow and can be implemented into practice immediately.The hands-on gave me more confidence to take on those challenging cases by having a good understanding of the planning to give a predictable outcome. I appreciated the small group size in various lovely venues which made each session more relaxed and fun with interactive discussions. The manuals were a great bonus, containing all the relevant information and resources and up to date clinical papers on the days subject which was great for referring back to. It’s an excellent course that I would highly recommend! Thank you!"
