Stay tuned for information on October 2025 bookings.
Cosmetic & Aesthetic Dentistry evolved over the last 20 years, and our programme updated continuously, so that it is still the best programme in the UK.
The Chris Orr Course is all about treating a whole mouth.
We teach building aesthetics and function into the treatment plan - regardless of whether it’s a veneer, crown, inlay-onlay, composite bonding or orthodontic case. By the end of one year, you are able to make a comprehensive assessment of all the potential risks for your cases – be they dental, periodontal, occlusal, or aesthetic – develop full mouth treatment plans, and explain this to the patient.
Using our tried and tested system, you will develop your clinical skills and confidence during the year. The first half of the programme will re-examine many of the techniques you will carry out on a day-to-day basis, to give a foundational skill set that is built upon in the second half of the year as we consider the comprehensive treatment of the whole mouth as a functional and aesthetic entity.

After completion of the whole course, participants should have gained knowledge & understanding of the following:
This knowledge is built throughout the year, via the structured programme.
This is not a modular programme – there are many recurring themes throughout the year, so the material covered in the middle of the year builds on what was covered at the start. In the same way, the material at the end of the year builds on what was covered before.
This is why it is crucial that if you manage to book yourself on the programme, you should block the course dates in your diary in order to not miss a session.
