Our Study Club Members Smile with their Increased Dental Knowledge

The Over-the-Shoulder format is the next best thing to a practical 'hands-on' learning experience, without the 'hassles' of providing patients, bringing instruments, and working in a strange environment. I was surprised, but pleased, to find that I was the only course participant. The 'one-on-one' situation allowed me to closely follow your technique. The manual you provided is clear, and complete in terms of procedure, materials, and even practice management information for the introduction of these techniques into one's practice. I would like to thank your staff for being so co-operative and friendly both during the day I was with you, and for follow-up phone calls helping us acquire and use the new materials. I would not hesitate in recommending this course to colleagues desiring an excellent introduction to bonded restorations from an experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic practitioner, and an excellent teacher. I enjoyed making your acquaintance, and I offer my best wishes for continued success with your Over-the-Shoulder courses.
- Yours most sincerely, Dr. Jeffry A. Davis

Dr. Shannon's Over-the-Shoulder aesthetic course was a wonderful investment. I appreciated the customization of the course to my concerns about aesthetics and adhesive dentistry. Andrew demonstrated techniques and solutions that I could use in my office the very next day. Simple solutions that don't need any fancy, expensive equipment, but things we have in our very own offices that we can use efficiently.

I recently had the opportunity to take Dr. Shannon's “Over-the-Shoulder” program. As far as continuing education courses go, this one day session provided me with the most useful, practical information I have ever attained. I enjoyed it so much that I returned for another session a few weeks later. Watching Dr. Shannon working on patients and doing the procedures I had heard about in lectures or read about in journals, I got a 'real' feeling for how the procedures should go and in 'real' time in the office. Following the one day session, I was able to immediately apply what I had learned the next day at my own office. it is also much easier to watch how something is done, rather than hearing about it or reading about it and then trying to do it on your own. I plan on taking more over-the-shoulder programs in the future with Dr. Shannon, and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone else who would like to update their skills to do the same.
- Sincerely, Dr. Ray Fong

I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to you and the members of your dental team for allowing me to observe your aesthetic procedures during your “over-the-shoulder” program in March. I have adopted some of the techniques you've demonstrated for composites and onlays and found them to be predictable, efficient, and the results highly satisfactory. I have completed over one hundred such cases and am very pleased with the outcome in each one. It is with much enthusiasm that I will recommend your course to any of our colleagues searching for an improved composite/onlay delivery system.
- With warmest regards to you and your staff, Dr. Rudy Salo
