What our customers are saying:

Great practical teacher that ensures you are competent before you finish the course.

Dr Nick Papageorgiou

Dr Lincoln is Excellent. Most engaging speaker I have ever listened to.

Dr Jamie Lam ... Dentist

I found the course extremely informative and eye-opening. It makes you look at soft tissues in a different way and increases your ability to manage soft tissues a lot more appropriately. Overall, I am definitely a better clinician for it.

Dr Arun Gnanachelvan

I do quite a bit of surgery but I wanted to do better. I believe this course allows me to do just that.

Dr Alvin Lee

Dr Lincoln is engaging, truthful, experienced and speaks from the heart. He lightens the situation where needed and is serious when required. See you at the next course!

Dr Rita Lai ... Dentist

Great course, lots of time to improve suturing and flap management. Some lectures were slightly too complex for my level of experience but good to see what is possible in the future.

Dr Ram Nair ... Dentist

Fantastic, well-organised course. Theory component blended seamlessly into the practical hands-on component. This course gave me the confidence to begin simple procedures when I get home

Dr Camelia Maris

Lincoln is great, he makes the whole presentation exciting, interesting and at the same time full of things to learn.

Dr Lincoln is excellent. Easy to pay attention to him speaking and I never felt like I was losing concentration. Captivating speaker...

Dr Maryam Khan

Thank you very much to Lincoln, Jynni and the team at Harris Dental Boutique. Your hospitality, professionalism and caring nature is most appreciated.

Dr Michael Shehata ... Dentist

I already do flaps and suturing regularly, however, what I learnt today will improve all surgery I will do, not just grafting.

Dr Neeraj Bangalore

Lincoln Harris, I have said it before...A kick arse leader, mentor and dentist. Very honest and straightforward.no sweet talk or sugar coating about your work or attitude.

Real learning starts when things go wrong..it's amazing to see how he holds your hand in the most difficult phase of treatment and brings you out like nothing ever happened. Shining star of the whole show.

Dr Sonia Yadav ... Dentist

You start off way out of your depth but Lincoln holds your hand and walks you through it.

Dr Qasim Shahid

Very enjoyable course to learn basic skills for Free Gingival Grafts & SECTGs. Great hands-on component.

Dr Tharini Hettiarachchi

Lincoln is a very good hands-on teacher. He makes it very easy to understand techniques and ensures we know why we are doing it a certain way which makes it easier to remember.

Dr Arun Gnanachelvan

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Without doing massive tunnel grafts, there are many applications for the soft tissue skills learnt here to add more finesse to the things I'm currently doing. Everyone can take away something from this course and start implementing these skills straight away.

Dr Kathryn Burns

Dr Lincoln Harris BDSc (Hons) 
Founder RIPE/Restoring Excellence


Dr Lincoln Harris founder of Restoring Excellence and RIPE with a focus on excellence.

His pursuit of excellence permeates everything he does. He is a full-time clinician in private practice and understands the pressures and stresses that dentists face in clinical, administration and business situations.

As a teacher, Dr Harris is unique in his strong belief about the importance of learning from and sharing his own failures. Even though poor clinical outcomes are disappointing, he sees great value in them as opportunities for what can be learned and taught. Instead of sweeping them under the rug, his view is that the meticulous documentation of these cases with photos and/or video makes it possible to wring every possible benefit from that other great teacher – Hindsight.
