Dentists describe Dr. Wade Pilling’s program as an immersive way to see a complete full-mouth reconstruction performed from diagnosis through final delivery. The four-day course is split across two sessions and combines lectures, hands-on exercises, and over-the-shoulder observation of a live patient.
Practical takeaways: full-mouth diagnosis, smile design, occlusal principles, treatment sequencing, tooth preparation, provisionalization, laboratory communication, cementation, and attracting comprehensive restorative patients. The strongest differentiator is watching the entire clinical workflow unfold on one patient rather than learning isolated techniques.
Common feedback: Available attendee posts emphasize the depth of the aesthetic rehabilitation training, the value of learning directly from Dr. Pilling, and the ability to apply the concepts to large veneer-and-crown cases.
Best for: Dentists who already perform restorative dentistry and want a practical framework for larger cosmetic, occlusal, and full-mouth rehabilitation cases.
Seeing a complete digital full arch workflow from patient screening through final delivery was the most valuable part of the course. Wade does an excellent job of blending digital workflows with the analog techniques that remain essential for predictable outcomes, while covering everything from patient communication and treatment planning to surgery, occlusion, prosthetic design, and finishing protocols. Keeping the group intentionally small also allowed for personalized feedback and in-depth discussion throughout each case.
This course gave me a much clearer understanding of how all the pieces of a full mouth reconstruction fit together, rather than viewing each step independently. It also highlighted areas I want to continue developing, particularly periodontal and orthodontic concepts, to become a more comprehensive treatment planner and improve long-term patient outcomes.
To get the most value from this course, it helps to already have or be actively building a patient population interested in comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation, since you'll immediately recognize opportunities to apply what you learn. I also recommend arriving with a solid foundation in restorative dentistry and digital workflows so you can focus on refining treatment planning, communication, occlusion, and surgical decision-making rather than learning the fundamentals.
