You have trouble recommending complex treatments because you doubt you can do them well
Anterior teeth worry you because you can’t hide from your mistakes when they are always ‘on display’
You fear planning the more complex elements of a full mouth rehabilitation
You see failures shared in online forums and are worried that will be you one day
You feel anxious when your appointment book has an afternoon full of fillings
IMAGINE A WORLD…
..with hand skills so sharp, they automatically take over when you become fatigued
..where your restorative dentistry has more predictability and confidence
..with the skills to be confident in all procedures and stop referring patients to specialists!
..where you learn in a supportive environment, and access the best educators in the world
This is the inspiration behind the Fellowship in Restorative Dentistry
Now, you have the opportunity to gain the confidence to plan restorative treatments in your own clinic. With RipeGlobal, you do this through motivational and innovative learning experiences that simulate clinical scenarios.

After many years of learning, teaching, and observing students, Dr Lincoln Harris has developed a unique perspective on teaching and a more efficient teaching style.
He believes that knowledge without skill is useless. Textbooks, and theory are no help when you have a patient in front of you and your hands do not know what to do.
That’s why this course includes 45 HOURS of intensive LIVE HANDS-ON exercises, rather than lots of talk…
Imagine your peace of mind practicing new techniques on a model, in a risk-free environment with an experienced mentor to critique your work. Compare that with the anxiety of carrying out the first effort in your clinic on a real patient. Because it is delivered virtually, it is 100% free from travel and you learn from the comfort of your own home.
When you learn a new skill through hands-on exercise you immediately gain a thorough understanding of its complexities in a way that watching someone else does not give. You’ll know where the difficulties lie. So, when an instructor is watching you, that understanding allows you to pick up on the tiny details that make all the difference and would have gone unnoticed without it.
Your eyes open to tiny hand movements and instrument handling.
“Textbooks, and theory are no help when you have a patient in front of you and your hands do not
know what to do.”
OUR PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH CONFIDENCE, COMPETENCE AND SAFETY
Imagine a world with where you are confident to discuss treatment plans and your patient accepts them
Do you wonder what it would be like if you could feel confident and stop referring your restorative patients?
Picture yourself performing a full arch rehab with competence and knowing your patients are safe
“Every practicing dentist I’ve spoken with agrees that our university graduate skillset barely scratched the surface of what we need to know to do high end dentistry.
It’s actually really hard to prioritise all the possible continuing education topics. So after years of learning the hard way myself, I have developed the Fellowship in Restorative Dentistry sequence, of four separate modules in a particular learning order, to pave the way for others.
In real life clinical timeframes, efficiency is key. Which is why we tackle Posterior and Quadrant first, this is where you will learn composite cusp building, core build ups and efficiently placing a quadrant of composite fillings. Then you will practice various crown prepping techniques.
Anterior Dentistry is a very broad topic, and we break it up into two modules. Anterior and Veneer Mastery and Aesthetic Rehabilitation.
For the Anterior Dentistry module, we concentrate on composite artistry and practice various types of crown preps for Anterior teeth. The fine details of shaping the composite is essential for good anterior aesthetics, and we focus on increasing understanding of tooth morphology.
Armed with this, you will be ready for the next module Veneer and Aesthetic Rehabilitation, in which we concentrate on anterior veneers and all the steps involved. Various veneer preps and composite veneer techniques.
With the skills that you have gained during the first three modules, you will be ready to venture into the fourth module Full Mouth Rehabilitation. At this module you will complete a full mouth of crowns and veneers and create acrylic temporaries.
Throughout, I will be using the RipeGlobal Teaching Method, which integrates live virtual skills training and mentoring delivered using fail first training methodology and integrating human factor training into our teaching program. When dentists are trained against exposure to stress, fatigue, unexpected and urgent conditions, their ability to produce quality outcomes under conditions similar to those in the clinic remains effective.
Additionally, each module will offer opportunities to perfect their photographic skills, and master treatment planning, communication and patient management, specific to each of the four modules.
Are you ready for the challenge?”
