Composite course FAQ your questions, answered

The Simplifi courses are for registered dentists and GDC-registered dental therapists of all levels who want to learn, improve or master composite bonding — composite veneers, edge bonding, diastema and black-triangle closure, peg laterals and Class IVs. Simplifi Composite 'The Original' suits those new to intermediate; Simplifi Layering 'The Next Level' suits clinicians already confident with single-shade work who want high-end layered results. Overseas dentists are welcome.

Yes — dental therapists are welcome on both Simplifi courses, and every technique taught can be carried out clinically by GDC-registered therapists. The courses focus on aesthetic restorations — composite veneers, edge bonding, diastema closure, peg laterals, black triangles, layering and more — rather than fillings placed purely for dental-health reasons, so they're ideal for therapists upskilling their aesthetic and anterior composite work.

The 2-day hands-on Simplifi Composite and Simplifi Layering courses cost £1,487.50 + £297.50 VAT (£1,785 total). Instalment payments are available over up to 5 months at 0% APR, so you can spread the cost. The fee includes 17 hours of verifiable CPD, an illustrated hardcover manual (250+ pages for Composite, 300+ for Layering), materials and equipment to use on course, refreshments, ongoing WhatsApp support and exclusive Simplifi Answerbot access. Our guide on what a composite bonding course costs breaks the fee down and works out the payback.

For most dentists, yes — composite bonding is one of the highest-demand, highest-margin skills in aesthetic dentistry, and a few confident anterior cases recoup the course fee. Simplifi delegates consistently rate it one of the best courses they've attended, it has sold out every class for the past four years, and 650+ dentists have now trained with Simplifi. You leave with reproducible protocols you can use in practice the very next week. We put the numbers behind that in what a composite bonding course costs and what it pays back.

Start with Simplifi Composite 'The Original' if you're new to intermediate and want simplicity, consistency and confidence with single-shade composite veneers, edge bonding and diastema closure. Choose Simplifi Layering 'The Next Level' if you're already comfortable with single-shade work and want high-end layered results that rival porcelain. Each course stands alone, but the natural pathway is Composite → Layering → Live. If you are weighing them up, Composite vs Layering — which course first? walks through it case by case.

Simplifi Composite and Simplifi Layering are each 2-day hands-on courses (registration from 8:30am, then 9am–6pm on the Friday and 9am–5pm on the Saturday) carrying 17 hours of verifiable CPD. Simplifi Live is a 1-day patient-shadowing experience for alumni, with 8 hours of verifiable CPD. Every 2-day course includes an illustrated hardcover manual, post-course videos, Simplifi Answerbot access and a post-course WhatsApp support group so you keep developing long after the course ends.

The 2-day course fee includes the full two days of hands-on teaching; the Simplifi illustrated hardcover manual (250+ pages for Composite, 300+ for Layering); access to the post-course WhatsApp support group; materials and equipment to use on course; lunch, tea, coffee and refreshments across both days; and the post-course Friday social drinks and meal. The Composite course also includes additional post-course learning videos. The 1-day Live course includes live patient shadowing with a 4K microscope stream, a step-by-step walkthrough, Q&A and refreshments.

No — materials and equipment to use on course are provided. Because these are intensive, maximum hands-on courses, we simply recommend you bring your dental loupes and light if you use them, and arrive well rested for both days. You'll leave with the Simplifi hardcover manual, so there's no need to take extensive notes.

No — Simplifi is independently run and not affiliated with any manufacturer, so there's nothing you're asked to buy afterwards. The protocols are designed to work with the composite systems and instruments you already use in practice. You'll receive a list of the materials Dr Albert routinely uses, but the techniques apply to almost any composite brand.
