Hands-on Oral Surgery Course

What an amazing year we have had with the Hands-on Oral Surgery Course. 70 delegates have been through the intensive hands-on course with excellent feedback. The next four courses are fully booked. Final course for 2021 (Dec) is now open for booking. Places fill up quickly so please secure your booking immediately to avoid disappointment.

This 2-day intensive course is aimed at general dental practitioners interested in enhancing their surgical skills and improving their confidence to allow them to tackle cases, that would have been referred elsewhere to be treated.

The main focus is on the hands-on component using custom-made models incorporated into a state of the art facility using phantom heads to mimic real-life patients. Delegates will be using water-cooled handpieces similar to what is used in practice. NO animal heads are used on the course.

Places are limited to 10 participants/course

A fantastic oral surgery course with plenty of hands on practice and valuable clinical tips from Tamer. I wanted to do this course to enable me to take on more cases that I would usually refer. I certainly feel more confident in doing so and found the course to be very informative and enjoyable. Thank you.

As a DCT The hands on Oral Surgery course by Tamer Theodossy has really opened my eyes to different, more effective and patient friendly ways of approaching both non-surgical and surgical extractions. I have picked up new techniques such as the chopstick method and received an exceptional amount of very helpful 1 to 1 feedback on my clinical skills. We even covered buccal advancement flaps and surgical extractions of lower wisdom teeth. The models we practiced on are exceptional and as close as possible to extracting human teeth. My clinical skills have substantially improved as a result of this course and my approach has been revolutionised. I would strongly recommend the course to fellow DCT’s, DFT’s and General Dental Practitioners.

One of the best oral surgery courses I've attended. Dr Tamer was very engaging and approachable, his wealth of experience was clear and he made sure to check everything we did on the hands on part so you really get that 1-1. I much prefer his plastic models over pigs head. Highly recommend to people looking to improve their confidence in surgicals, a great refresher.

This is an excellent course where I picked up lots of tips that I can implement immediately. Got lots of hands-on practice too. Tamer is very knowledgeable in his subject and was happy to answer all our questions. He is also very approachable and came over to everyone to help and advise with the hands-on. Overall I had a very enjoyable weekend updating my oral surgery skills.

I thoroughly enjoyed Tamer's hands on oral surgery course. It was very well organised and a perfect balance of theory and practical. The models were a great simulation and with the hints and tips I was given on the course, I feel that I can apply what I learned straight away in practice with confidence.'

Best course I've been on. Was perfect for a GDP wanting to improve skills and confidence to tackle the more difficult extractions in practice. Tamer extremely approachable, knowledgeable and tailored things to suit each delegates individual needs. Wish this course existed 10 years ago! Thank you

Feeling good this Monday morning 😁 Sectioned a molar and successfully extracted it🙌 Thanks Tamer I wouldn't have had the confidence to do that before the course!
