Name
Lorem ipsum
Dr Michal Gwizdala
The course was a game changer. All of the complex aspects of modern private dentistry have been presented in an easy-to-implement way. I highly recommend the course to everyone who wants to become a better and more confident dentist.
Dr Shen Ai Kerrine Lee
I used to be stuck in the NHS grind, but now I'm in a private practice close to home, doing work that I love.
Dr Rosanna Busuttil
“An exceptional course- do not miss this. It should be mandatory post-grad training! Monik is completely passionate about his subject and is a kind and sympathetic teacher. I feel empowered to start the aesthetics journey.”
Dr Alexander Cook
TA took me from an enthusiastic dentist a few months out of FD, already feeling the burnout of 6,500 UDA contracts, to a chilled-out, fully private practitioner enjoying the dentistry every day.
Dr Virinder S Nazran
“This course should be compulsory for all dentists!"
Dr Rakhee Raichoora
Really great course. Learned a lot, made lots of friends and enjoyed all the course days. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to improve their dentistry and be confident at delivering private work of a good quality.
Dr Magdelena Rybak
“Absolutely brilliant! Worth every penny! Honestly a life changing course”
Dr Mani Reehal
“The best course I’ve been on. The tips and tricks alone are enough to transform your dentistry. Amazing aspect. Aimed perfectly at the GDP”
Dr Dilen Patel
TA was everything I needed to evolve into a more confident aesthetic dentist. It gave me skills, abilities, knowledge and new friends. I can't thank Monik and his team enough.
Dr James Wellick
Fantastic course. Monik has completely changed how I approach aesthetic cases and general dentistry. I think the course was perfect for me having not completed any postgraduate training year courses before and filled so many gaps in my teaching after dental school and FD year.
Dr Amir Ahmad
This course is a real amalgamation of specialities. The centre is a great place to learn. Using the phantom heads really made my practice lifelike, which I could then go into work the next day and do without any adjustments or difficulty. Monik is great at simplifying different specialties and bringing them together so treatment planning becomes much more simple but incredibly thorough. I would definitely recommend the diploma and the work being done all over the country by TA alumni really represents the quality of the course!
Dr Justin Glaister
The best composite course I’ve been on to date and I’ve done them all. Whether you have been qualified 20+ years like myself or newly qualified, it provides the perfect mix of science, real world application and tips to transform dentistry in your practice.
Dr Treana Wu
“This fantastic course boosts clinical skills and confidence in all aspects of dentistry. Monik and his speakers are knowledgeable and provide excellent practical tips and tricks that are game changing for your career”
Dr Michelle Conlon
Whilst the monetary gain is great, the quality of work I am delivering is much more satisfying.
Dr Faizan Ali
A well rounded course which helped me develop the confidence in completing the cases I would usually shy away from. Can't recommend Monik and the team enough! Thank you so much for all the support and banter throughout my journey into becoming a totally aesthetics graduate.
Dr Diana Panchea
Before this course my confidence was -20. Now it is +100!
Dr Claudia Stanley
Fabulous year course, full of great tips and tricks. I would recommend the course to any dentist at any stage of their career. Thank you very much again for helping me become a better practitioner. I have increased my confidence and learned so much about assessments and what cases I can take on.
Dr Laura O’Sullivan
“It’s really special to have someone as gifted and experienced share his tips, tricks and expertise. It was awesome. Essential for any dentist. One of the best educations out there. Seriously….sign up now! You’’ll be amazed what you achieve”.
Dr Zamena Janmohamed
“Totally aesthetics has been a life changing experience to my dentistry. It has totally evolved the way I work and the standard of my aesthetic dental work has improved immensely. One of the big things this course has provided me is more confidence in completing complex smile makeovers. I would definitely recommend this to all dentists at any stage in their career!”
Dr Evert Burger
One of the nicest and most down to earth presenters I have ever seen. It was a perfect course, enough content and a lot of things to take home and implement immediately. I was really surprised with how much I learnt. It was really fun and I recommend it to all dentists young and old.
Dr Charlotte Elspeth Buchanan
The course was very extensive and really helped me to gain confidence in offering and completing more advanced restorative and aesthetic treatments.
Dr Reza Aria
“I first attended the Totally Composite course which itself changed my restorative dentistry. Then I got on the Totally Aesthetic course which was a game changer. Very well structured, comprehensive and superbly delivered by Monik and his team. It is a definitive must for all dentists wanting to raise their game. No matter what age.”
Dr Adam Lane
“Hands down the best and most valuable course I’ve done. Wish I could’ve done it 10 years ago!”
Dr Natalie Connolly
I did not anticipate just how much I still had to learn after 14 years in dentistry. The course completely changed the way I work. I started to enjoy dentistry again, and as a bonus my annual turnover doubled within the first 12 months.
Dr Liliya Ekova
“I can't recommend the TA course enough. I never enjoyed restorative dentistry very much. Monik changed my attitude completely! He managed to show me a different, more enjoyable and creative side of it. From start to finish Monik puts 100% in his teaching. He doesn't want you just to"attend" the course. He wants to help each and every delegate to become the best they can be and even more!”
Dr Richard Ellingham
“TA changed every aspect of my practice- for the better. I know more, I know how to assess better, plan better, advise better. The change improved my work, notes, communication, quality, restorative longevity. It puts you in a new level. I'm glad I just went for it without ruminating whether it was worth it. TC was great, TA was the switch from average to the next league. I commend Monik and his great team on his teaching, preparation, research and above all encouragement to practice the type of dentistry I want to do.”
Dr Ross Pencovich
I dropped from five to four days, yet my income has doubled. 50% more weekend, 200% earnings!
Dr Henry Furbank
I love a protocol, and Monik gives you a protocol for every eventuality.
Dr Navin Sivanandam
“This course has completely changed the benchmark of the dentistry I aspire to be able to practice. It was enlightening and his expertise of composites cannot be overstated.”
Dr Ryan Holland
Monik's tips, not only on dentistry but also on diary management, made a massive and immediate impact on my dentistry, my income and, more importantly, my enjoyment of working in dentistry.
Dr Jonathan Thomas
“I came across Monik’s work on social media and it was so amazing that I came all the way from Hawaii to figure out just what he was doing. The protocols and techniques he taught were amazing and will change my composite game for good.”
Dr Sana Husenbhai
This is without doubt a career changing course. Monik's passion for minimally invasive dentistry and providing the best patient care is reflected in all aspects of this course. I have gained something from each day - which can be used straight away in practice. Going on this course has improved my confidence in all aspects of general dentistry and has allowed me to begin more complex aesthetic treatment safely. Not to mention I have gained friends for life. Thank you to Monik, the Fresh Dental Institute team, and all the lecturers for their hard work - it's been a brilliant year!
Dr Marwa Arzoky
It has been an amazing journey. I have met great people and learned so much. It is by far the best Aesthetic and restorative Diploma course. Thank you Monik and the lovely team for everything.
Dr Amrinder Baidwan
I was working in a mixed NHS practice and feeling like I had hit a wall. Since finishing the course, I love dentistry again. I feel more confident and have left the NHS to work in a fully private practice.
Dr Henry Furbank
