Dr. Didier was the strong faculty for bonded restorations I had been missing during my years in practice. Strong research consorted by clinical experience, as well as infectious passion has changed the way I will restore dentitions forward. Thank you for a wonderful experience and great fun!

Didier has extensive knowledge of composite restorations and bonding protocols. His restorative approach offers a functional, esthetic and cost-effective alternative to ceramics and other full coverage crowns. If you are in the fence considering this course, I recommend it.

Dr. Dietschi’s philosophy reinforced my confidence in treating complex esthetic and functional cases conservatively. His courses are invaluable for any dentist striving to elevate their clinical excellence.

I have taken now 3 courses with Didier Dietschi at IDEA, and it is amazing the amount of ROI you get.  Everything is so applicable, you can put in practice right away. You get lectures, plenty hands-on, and one on one with the best of the best.  You cannot get a better education with immediate ROI. Highly recommend his courses.

If you haven’t been to a class taught by Didier Dietschi you are really missing out on a plethora of dental knowledge.
If you have a question about materials, methods, or techniques he will definitely know the answer.
Most of the cases he shows are not ideal. They are what most dental practitioners would find in their day-to-day work. Lots of his cases come from teaching at the university where cost is an issue. He has basically taken composite to a whole new level to give patients an option to rival porcelain if they have limited finances.
Didier is kind and approachable. All dentists, no matter what stage you are at in your career, can benefit from his classes. He is a master!

This was my second course with Didier, and he does not disappoint! Even though he is a master clinician, he is humble and transparent. His tooth wear course is the answer to any dentist looking for a minimally invasive but extensive treatment like full mouth rehabilitation for patients.

This course has given me the tools I need to provide better restorations, for my patients, while doing so faster, which is better for the patient and my practice
