Veneer Workshop: Planning, Preparation and Cementation

Thomas Taha’s veneer workshop combines treatment planning and live demonstration with delegate exercises in preparation and cementation. The current course page advertises 6–7 November 2027 in Oxfordshire.

Day one

The published programme runs 09:00–17:00 and starts with calibration exercises and planning. A microscopic live preparation demonstration is followed by discussion of digital and analogue workflows. Delegates practise upper-anterior 2–2 open veneer preparations and consider the differences between single and multiple restorations.

Day two

Compare feldspathic ceramic and lithium disilicate, and consider tooth wear and gingival contouring. Demonstrations cover mock-ups and mandibular veneers, followed by provisionals, cementation and CAD/laboratory communication. Delegate work includes 5–5 preparations and hands-on cementation, with discussion of complications, failures and patient management. The published schedule again runs 09:00–17:00.

Venue and booking details

Oxfordshire teaching takes place at TAHA Dental Excellence, 5 The Old Gaol, Abingdon OX14 3HE. Bring loupes if you normally work with them. CPD certificate hours have not been verified; confirm the award when registering.

A £900 deposit is advertised, not the full course price. The linked programme contains older early-booking prices with a 2025 deadline, so those amounts do not establish the current total. Confirm full tuition, payment timing and current inclusions before paying. The programme lists a veneer bur kit, materials, refreshments, lunch and online content; confirm these apply to the 2027 booking. Live-patient work is a teaching demonstration, not a promise of delegate patient treatment.
