I was introduced to Dr. Steven Schiffenhaus’ instagram page through Dan Clementino from Kuraray. I started following his live videos and work and fell in love with his knowledge. I had to take his course. It was my first exposure to Biomimetic adhesive dentistry. I love doing cerec and this made perfect sense for me. Steven is very knowledgable, down to earth and a compassionate human. He knew I had a lot of questions and he took his time to explain me and clear my doubts. The course overall prepares you to be conservative in your approach, do excellent work and be proud of the work you do. I came back from the course and the following week I did 2 overlays both on #15. One of them was so hard that I would have never attempted if I didnt take this course. I felt proud of the work I did and felt my white coat as a cape for being a super dentist for this young patient. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone.
In the evening Steven had planned a gun shooting activity. I had never held a gun in my hand but it was so much to finally get out of my shell and learn that art as well. Cannot thank him enough for the opportunity.

I was very impressed with the BAARD overlay and onlay course. Dr. Schiffenhaus provided an exceptional balance of didactic information with plenty of hands-on experience. I have been able to implement the BAARD prep designs immediately into my practice. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone that is looking to improve their adhesive dentistry and provide minimally-invasive restorations.

I took this class without much knowledge going in and was blown away by the amount of information that was presented. It was really a great course. I recommend it to anyone looking to improve, begin or explore more about the latest in adhesive dentistry and Biomemetics. It was really helpful to have steve at the helm, he is a great teacher and not too concerned with presenting that he wouldn’t stop to have a side conversation or go into topics as asked. I would highly recommend this and hope to be at the next course!

The BAARD hands-on course is well organized with a great mix of lecture, demonstration, practical exercises, and discussion. Biomimetic restorative adhesive principles are thoughtfully presented with enough depth and clarity to be immediately applied in clinical practice. Steve is an incredibly well versed and polished presenter, as well as an impeccable clinician. The fact that he is a full time practicing Biomimetic clinician who also fabricates his restorations is a HUGE boon. If you want to gain confidence with modern adhesive techniques and indirect preparations, this course will provide all that and more.

The best kind of in-person CE is a class that helps the student learn a new skill and be able to reproduce the skill on Monday. With the Baard in-person prep course, you will be confident to prep an overlay/onlay preparation the following Monday, along with temporization and cementation. Dr. Schiffenhaus is an engaging lecturer, but he doesn’t talk all day. He creates a good balance between lectures, demos, and hands-on practice. His passion for the subject is evident and you can’t help but become passionate for adhesive dentistry with him. I highly recommend the class to anyone who wants to start their journey in adhesive dentistry.

I came across Dr. Schiffenhaus’ instagram page roughly a year ago, and prior to that had been following other dental educational instagram pages since before I graduated in 2018. Maybe it was the “schiffenhaus smooth” preps of his, or the BRD after dark instagram live sessions where I’d tune in and get to see how he worked a number of difficult cases. Whatever the case may be, I was excited to sign up for his online courses and to learn more about BAARD. When the in-person course opened up, I knew it would be a great way to cement (bond?) the information I had learned in the virtual course into my ever-expanding repertoire of biomimetic knowledge. It was like being back in dental school again, but getting to cherry pick the best parts of the best classes to aid you in your clinical dentistry. We had a ton of hands on practice, and I feel way more confident in my overlay preps. I’ve had two overlay deliveries since the course, and recognized just how differently (and better) I would have prepared them if they’d been coming in for the first time this week. It was a great course, and I plan on taking more from Steve in the future.

The BAARD hands on course was everything I expected and more. Steve has a great presence as a speaker and kept some of the important literature and science from bogging down the days. He presented his prep protocols in a way that creates a recipe for success and repeatable results. I found that the other doctors were all extremely knowledgeable in the arena of Biomimetics and yet they were also learning just as much as a novice. The accommodations were comfortable and the catering was very good. Overall I found the course to be professional and well organized, but Steve is such a personable guy it didn’t feel stuffy or over the top. I would highly recommend this course for doctors who want to improve their skills or those just beginning to get into the world of adhesive dentistry.

This course takes everything from the online BAARD experience (and more) and enables clinicians to put the concepts and protocols into practice with an excellent hands-on experience. The two-day experience offers the perfect balance of science-driven lecture and hands-on, using real case studies, applicable scientific literature, and Bien Air electric hand pieces with layered composite teeth to give a realistic element to countless tabletop exercises. Dr. Schiffenhaus keeps it light and entertaining, while delivering the high quality course content he’s known for with the help of the very friendly and personable Dr. Patrick Calalang and Steve’s clinical assistant, Tara. At the end of the day, Dr. Schiffenhaus planned an evening at the gun range, allowing all course attendees an fun opportunity for fellowship and networking. We all had a blast, and everyone enjoyed the additional unique “hands-on” experience. Thanks to the BAARD team and to all the attendees for making the course extremely educational and fun. I know I’ll be incorporating what I’ve learned in my practice come Monday morning. – Dr. Brandon Walker

The BAARD Institute was the first exposure to biomimetic adhesive dentistry that I received. One of the best investments that I made.

Dr. Steven Schiffenhaus and his team made the experience wonderful and very easy to follow. He is a great lecturer and very down to earth person that will go to lengths to help you understand his philosophies of adhesive dentistry. If you’re looking to learn more about biomimetic dentistry, this is the course I recommend for anyone.
