Composite Placement
The most time effective methods for the most challenging situations we face daily using instruments that everybody has access to.
We provide all you need to practice the DRE Way, so you can streamline and enjoy your career,
No more endless sifting through a matrix box!
Sales is often a taboo subject in dentistry after all we are in a healthcare profession. However we are also in the business of dentistry, learn ethical methods to boost case acceptance.
Communication
It’s no good being excellent at composite without mastering the conversations that help guide our patients to accepting the right treatment for them.
Consent
Are consent forms bulletproof? Many a clinician has come unstuck during litigation simply with a patient remarking "I didn't understand what I signed." We share our method to ensure our patients are providing informed consent.
Fees
We dive into setting & presenting fees so you can escape commodity pricing.

Introduction To The
Greater Curve Matrix System
I'll explain how the Greater Curve is so powerful and how it transformed my practice and life!
Shortcomings of
Sectional Matrices
Sectionals are all the rage on the internet but they do have their issues, here we discuss those and how we can overcome them.
Neutral is Best
Learn how to restore teeth in a neutral position. Surprisingly we do not rely on wedges to separate teeth in order to get a contact!
Hands On Your Hardware
Unpacking your kit so we are clear on terminology, what each component does and how it works.
Achieving Proper Contacts
Getting contacts between teeth, isn't always predictable. We break this down and share how we achieve proper contacts every time.
BOSS Method
The signature DRE approach for void free composites. Do it like a BOSS!
Tooth Anatomy &
Composite Placement
A simple way to conceptualise how teeth are shaped and how we can achieve this in the mouth.
Case Videos
Example cases of restoring teeth start to finish so you know what to expect on your hands on day.
Practical Rubber Dam
Rubber Dam, love it or hate it, learn our approach and spend no more than 60-90 seconds getting set up with perfect isolation!
Back To Back Posteriors
Let's get practicing the DRE approach for restoring simple and complex posterior cavities.
Tricky Class 3 & 5
Next up our novel approach to restoring Class 3 and 5 cavities simply and effectively.
Extreme Class 4
We challenge you with an extreme subgingival Class 4 which you'll restore freehand. See for yourself why Mylar strips and sectionals may not be the best choice.

Networking - Drinks Reception
Our delegates regularly tell us that working #TheDREWay they now:
Can provide the best care for their patients
Have less stress at work
Can bond composites predictably
Have confidence and less risk of litigation
Have increased hourly rates and TAKE home pay
No longer routinely run late
If this sounds good to you, secure your place today. We sell out fast!
Our framework has been designed from the ground up for everybody - from beginner fresh out of university to the advanced practitioner.
We have combined Dr Dennis Brown's 40+ years experience, Dr Sunny's 13+ years experience and their battle tested techniques made for the real world ready for you to take into practice without endless trial and error.
The DRE Composite Course is an accelerated 6 week learning program, so you can tackle any restorative problem with the utmost confidence.
We want you to have the very best learning experience.
That’s why we only allow a maximum of 20 delegates per Cohort.
It means your DRE Course instructor (The Drill Sergeant) and Training Staff will be able to give you the one on one time you need to get the most of of your investment.
Yes!
If for any reason you feel that the DRE Composite Course has not lived up to your expectations, just speak to Dr Sunny at the end of the hands on day, explain why you feel that way and he will give you your money back - no stress, no problem and no hard feelings.
(By the way this has NEVER happened but the offer is genuine, that's why you have absolutely ZERO risk when you enrol).
If the margins are subgingival than an indirect restoration may not help you navigate that.
First off you will need a well bonded restoration underneath for the indirect restoration to have the best chance of success. Foundations first.
Our techniques will enable you to perform deep margin elevation (DME) predictably in order to facilitate an indirect restoration even in the most difficult of subgingival situations.
Additionally you will be able to achieve proper contacts even with wide spaces directly with composite without the need to cut the patients tooth down.
100% Yes!
Imagine being able to place amalgams with worrying about those dreaded overhangs and the horrid feeling of taking recall radiographs with doubt and uncertainty over the restorations integrity.
You may have used curved bands before but ours are the original and best patented Greater Curve® bands.
Our bands use proprietary metals with thicknesses that have been painstakingly developed over almost 30 years to produce a system that can be used to tackle even the most demanding of situations.
Imitation bands are thicker and have different composition. Our techniques do not work with imitation matrices.
That means they won’t get you the results you and your patients want.
