Lecturer Details: Demystifying the technical aspects of complete dentures. A joint dental and technician based approach

Lecturer nameJonathan Newborough
Lecturer profileJonathan Newborough is a qualified dental technician and laboratory owner who has a keen interest in the manufacture of removable and implant-retained oral prosthetics. Having worked alongside many specialist prosthodontists in the UK, he knows that removable dentures can be a great restorative solution when the correct design principles and protocols are followed.

By combining traditional practices with modern techniques there are now many possible solutions in removable prosthodontics that ensure patient satisfaction.

He offers both of these restorative solutions to a very high standard in order to assist dental practices in caring for their patients.
