Our Courses

This exclusive webinar will show you the three things that you are doing to kill your new patient case acceptance and how you can use Virtual Consult technology to fix them. Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to understand how to:

• “Close the sale” before the patient ever steps foot in my office.
• Do 6 cosmetic consults in the same time it used to take them to do 1.
• Get in front of a spouse or other financial decision maker without ever meeting them in person.

The consumer mindset is shifting and now more than ever before patients are seeking out cosmetic procedures in dentistry. The goal of this webinar is to show you how to connect with these patients. Stop waiting for patients to come to you….go to them!

Join Dr. Christopher Phelps as he tackles the #1 problem dental offices seem to struggle with…their team. In this engaging webinar Dr. Phelps introduce you to the science and application of Kolbe. A third part of our brains that’s distinctly different than your IQ or your Personality. Having been a Kolbe Certified trainer for over 8 years, Dr. Phelps has created systems to help get his team members in the right seat on the bus. Working within their Kolbe strengths to make them happier, healthier and more productive for his offices. He’ll also show you how to leverage Kolbe for both team and patient communication, marketing, will review his step by step hiring system that will help you find the superstars you need to make your practice a success.

It would not make sense to build a nice house on a questionable foundation. And, when it comes to restorative dentistry, the clinician needs to make sure the endodontic status of the tooth has a good prognosis. Whether it’s an endodontic diagnostic issue, surgical or non-surgical endodontic treatment, or endodontic retreatment, establishing the potential success of the case is imperative. Dr. Berman will go through a common sense and methodical approach for assessing the endodontic prognosis for several different endodontic case-based scenarios.

This webinar will present modern treatment planning for dental implants to improve the treatment process and predictability.  The webinar will include use of surgical videos to present CBCT planned cases.  The use of bone and soft tissue preservation techniques as well as soft tissue grafting surgery for esthetic implants will also be presented.

1. Understand CBCT for treatment planning
2. Fundamentals of guided surgery
3. When to use bone and soft tissue grafting
4. Predictable primary stability for your implants

This lecture will present a perspective of how fast dentistry is changing and will continue to change over the next 10+ years . We will take a walk into the future to understand what we need to succeed in this technologically advancing world. How can we remain relevant and thrive as corporate dentistry becomes more prevalent? There are three demographics that play a role in our practice success – Boomers, Gen-Xer’s and Millennials. Each have their own influence on our practices, but will their impact change over time? What changes will our practice styles need to adopt for each of these groups? Participants will be exposed to a variety of technologies to facilitate diagnosis and treatment of everyday dentistry and beyond. We will discuss a variety of scanning technologies and digital options to show how they can be easily implemented. Materials and product updates will be a part of this program. Participants will be shown ways to implement a variety of technologies in a convenient manner at their own pace.

PRF “technology” has been simplified so that it can be incorporated into the routine surgical procedures a GP performs to improve healing and surgical outcomes. Learn the history, science behind, rationale and an easy to learn technique that will allow you to stand apart in your patient care and ability to deliver excellence.

With an estimated 15 million root canals performed annually, it is no surprise that the practice of endodontics consistently ranks within the top 5 most commonly performed dental procedures in the United States. Clinicians performing endodontic treatment boast high success rates coupled with efficient, streamlined treatment protocols. But have you ever stopped to think about how this procedure even works; why we do what we do? Despite significant technological advances, the biologic variables and challenges remain unchanged. This presentation examines how the philosophy of endodontics intertwines with current technology and established scientific fact giving rise to our current treatment recommendations and protocols.

By the completion of this presentation, the clinician should have a better understating of:
– The established scientific evidence which drives endodontic treatment recommendations.
– How to develop an endodontic treatment model that reflects individual practice philosophy, while satisfying current biologic requirements for optimal results.
– Latest technological advancements that are influencing the market and practice of endodontics.
– Pretreatment assessment qualifiers that influence case selection.

75-80% of root canal treatments are performed in the general practice setting. This course is designed to examine endodontic treatment rationale and help the clinician assess case difficulty. The establishment of a sound treatment philosophy coupled with proper case selection can allow every clinician to enjoy the satisfaction of endodontic treatment.

The world around us is changing at pace that most people never imagined and many are uncomfortable with. In many ways, what was once science fiction is now becoming reality. As health care providers, we must take an active role to understand the changes that are occurring around us so that we can prepare for the threats as well as potential opportunities.

The generation of children born since 2008 are growing up in world of constant access to information and on demand services. This generation will have different expectations of their healthcare providers and we must prepare for this changing world. This webinar will provide examples of this potential new world; however, more importantly it will show how we must think differently to capitalize on these disruptions.

Objectives:
1. Understand the growth of an on demand economy
2. Gain a sense of how big data will influence health care
3. Be exposed to new health care delivery model that are becoming possible as a result of technology innovation.

On March 26, 2018, the American Dental Association (ADA) announced a new policy on opioids supporting mandates on prescription limits and requiring all dentists take continuing education to maintain a license to practice. Inherent in the 2018 resolutions is the encouragement to minimize the use of opioids. In dentistry, pain control would revolve around optimal use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen. However, there are still circumstances where opioids are believed to be necessary.

This session is designed to use case examples to help illustrate the appropriate way of managing opioid prescription in order to minimize abuse.

Learning Objectives:

This will provide 1.5 credit hours that will satisfy the new requirements by addressing the following issues:

1. Prescribing Controlled Substances
2. Understanding Amount of Opioids Prescribed (Morphine Milligram Equivalent MME)
3. Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP)

n this presentation, Dr. Nick Fahey will tie the theory together from the previous presentation, to show how easily he can plan more complex cases in day to day practice. He will also show how easily this pays dividends when they perform the immediate loading surgery.

Course objectives:
-Build on the first presentation “Stone Age – Part I” to further
highlight how digitisation is changing the face of implant dentistry and how these “new” technologies can be harnessed to streamline treatment and increase profitability.
-Discuss and demonstrate how digitization helps with more complex treatments such as immediate loading, intra-oral welding and full mouth reconstruction.
-Discuss some short falls in digital implant dentistry and answer the question… “Is it time to move out of the Stone Age with complex implant dentistry?”
