These are not Lectures. It's A Seat At Tom's Table.

It's been a full few months at Sydney Dental Academy.

In July we ran our Fixed Prosthodontics course, capped at just 10 dentists in the room, and it was one of our best yet. That small number is what makes it work. There's no hiding at the back of a lecture hall here. Everyone gets real time with Dr Tom Giblin, real back and forth, real questions answered on the spot. It feels less like a course and more like sitting down with Tom one on one, surrounded by other dentists just as invested in getting better at their craft.

The highlight was watching Dr Tom Giblin work on a live patient doing a bridge prep. Everyone was close enough to see exactly how he approaches a case and what equipment he reaches for. The questions didn't stop.

That's the advantage of being based where we are. Sydney Dental Academy sits inside the Centre for Implant and Restorative Dentistry, Tom's own practice. So when you train with us, you're not learning theory in a classroom. You're learning in the same space Tom treats his own patients every day, with a handful of other dentists rather than a room full of strangers.

We can now confirm the full course calendar for the rest of the year.

Occlusion 1
25 and 26 September 2026

Fixed Prosthodontics
23 and 24 October 2026

Occlusion 2
6 and 7 November 2026

Dentures
4 and 5 December 2026

Every one of these runs the same way. Small groups, so you get proper time with Tom instead of watching from a distance.

If you're serious about occlusion, this is the one to pay attention to. Book Occlusion 1 and Occlusion 2 together and you get 20% off the bundle.

This is one of the best occlusion courses running anywhere in the country, and we're not just saying that. Here's what a few dentists told us after the last round.

"Brilliant course. Tom is an engaging and incredibly knowledgeable lecturer"

"Amazing course and Dr Giblin is a master of his craft. Every day was enjoyable and easy to master"

Occlusion is the base everything else sits on. Get it right and it shapes how you approach implants, dentures, fixed work, all of it. That's why we always recommend starting there if you haven't already.

Every course is on the website now. Head over, find the one that's right for you, and get in early. With only 10 to 12 spots per course, they don't stay open long.

And if this isn't the right time for you, send it to a colleague who might be looking for exactly this.
