Testimonials
Experiences (good and bad) will shape you! What path you go down can sometimes be shaped by the experiences you've had early on. You've seen my experience now, is that the technique or is that the way it was done? It's the way it was done. The technique will work in a lot of peoples' hands. I've just figured out through my journey what works for me, what's predictable and what's not going to cause me headaches.
Dr Dave Norcross, Perth, Australia, Dentist, Course Director
Honestly, this is the probably the best learning experience I've had in all the years of the CPD that I've been doing, especially in implant dentistry. I've done cadaver courses and things like that but, there's a big difference between working on a live patient in the chair versus doing something on a cadaver.
Dr David Nestor, Gold Coast, Australia (Live surgery delegate)
"I am very happy about the ethical part of the [Dubai Live Surgery] course, because that was a big worry for me. I know there are a lot of courses done all around the world and you just never know after you place those dental implants, what exactly happens with those patients, are they really treated from A to Z? So, what I loved here is that those cases were all planned very well, they were promised and delivered temporary restorations and they're going to have their permanent ones in three to six months. Ethically, it's a very good course.

"You're in an environment where you feel supported to step outside the comfort zone, that's what you've gotta do, and it's nice that you've got that buddy to give you the support that you need, but also know how far to push you... I actually quite enjoyed the fact that each [surgeon] has got their own individual way of doing stuff, so you're getting a real rapid-fire experience from all of them. The fact that it was consecutive days means that, you know, when you make your balls up on the Friday that needs some refinement, the thing that you're doing that they help you correct, you're doing the exact same thing the day after - you're almost forced to evolve because you don't have time to forget"
Dr Brad Thornton, Leeds, United Kingdom (Live surgery delegate)
"The highlight for me was definitely watching Dave do the live surgery and being able to ask him questions. Having a peek with the camera set up and seeing how it is in real life, because a model has no blood, so you see how much patients can bleed, and how Dave manages the soft tissue - that's been very interesting".
Dr Michael Chan, Perth, Australia
"I've done quite a few All-on-4® courses, and the thing that Dave really spent a lot of time covering is the surgical protocol, the way his drilling sequence works, his angulations, the actual flap design and retraction was quite different to the other courses I've done. So, I'm really excited to go back and try this later on next week."
Dr Vireena Koshal, Perth, Australia
I chose to attend this workshop because Dave is very knowledgeable. His surgeries are incredibly clean, and even an experienced or inexperienced surgeon, anybody, can come in and learn at least something.
Dr Alex Tyurin, New York City, United States
"I really like how unpolished his cases are [on Instagram] it's really real and to the everyday practising dentist, I think that's what we're looking for. A little bit of honesty, and people who keep it real"..."What I also like about this course is that it is a really intimate group, so there are a lot of opportunities to not only learn from Dave but from each other as well.
Dr Caitlyn Tan, Penang, Malaysia
"I think Dave's an excellent clinician, an awesome communicator and he's very personable and charismatic, and he presents the information in a way that's very much a peer-to-peer conversation, which I really enjoy."
Dr Rainer Anderson, Perth, Australia
"Actually, a key thing is lots of little videos of Dave's cases. Not many people showcase, you know, complications or challenges, that's a key difference. It set realistic expectations for me to set goals"
Dr Akash Kota, Wellington, New Zealand
"I see can the amount of effort Dave has put into customising the course into what we, the participants, really wanted to know by asking us beforehand what questions we wanted answering. It's just been so personalised and honestly, worth every single penny."
Dr Sindhu Mohan Kumar, Penang, Malaysia
"Previous programs have been more like step-by-step protocols, literature references and anatomy, screenshots...a little bit dry... whereas I found Dave has complemented previous programs I've done, because it was more 'what can I do on the next case, clinically'. Phenomenal level of preparation and expertise by Dave, he really pours his heart and soul into the program ."
Dr Johan Weemaes, Sunshine Coast, Australia
"For me, it was being able to get those one percent changes to my own personal workflow that I'll be able to take home and put into practice for my own patients, to get better results."
Dr Greg Fine, Sunshine Coast, Australia
