Sydney Dental Academy delivers in person dental education in Sydney, focused on diagnosis, planning, and clinical decision making for better outcomes

Here is what nobody tells you in your first five years.
The cases that fail are not the hard ones. They are the ones you thought were simple.
A single crown on a bite you never assessed. A composite on a tooth that was already carrying too much. The work was fine. The environment was not.
First principles sound boring until the day they save you a remake.

Occlusion Two is done.

We opened with a full revision of Occlusion One, then spent the bulk of the weekend on articulators. A mounted mock case, digitally altered teeth, and the task of waxing up one tooth at a time while watching how every shape decision plays out against the opposing arch.

It is one thing to understand occlusion in theory. It is another to watch a wax up move through space and see exactly what you have created. That is what the weekend was about.

We followed that with composite resin, digital smile design, and anterior wax up with attention to anterior disclusion.

Great group of clinicians. Thoughtful questions throughout.
Fixed Prosthodontics is coming up in a few weeks. Details in the comments.

04/06/2026

Fixed Prosthodontics is running 3 and 4 July at Sydney Dental Academy in Frenchs Forest.

Two days with Tom back to first principles. How fixed restorations manage load, function and aesthetics, and how those decisions change long term outcomes.

Small group, practical focus, built around how restorations actually last.

16 CPD hours. Limited places.

Two specialists. One day. One framework that changes how you plan.

Dr Tom Giblin, Specialist Prosthodontist, and Professor Axel Spahr, Head of Periodontics at the University of Sydney, are teaching together. One day built entirely around how perio and restorative thinking connect.

When these two disciplines align, your planning gets sharper, your outcomes get more predictable, and complex cases stop feeling uncertain.

The day covers tissue biology, implant planning, restorative materials, and long term maintenance. All of it grounded in real cases and first principles. You leave with a clear framework you can apply straight away.

Small group. 8 CPD hours.

Places are very limited.
