In the dental space we seek consistency and predictability. It is easy to rely on the “that is what I learned in dental school” philosophy for day-to-day clinical success. New developments in techniques and materials offer great clinical advantages, but can create stress of the unknown and disruption of current office workflows. Changing systems and techniques, or utilizing a new product can be done with a clear road map to implement changes chairside, and understanding messaging for patients. Participants will attend a course that is designed to alleviate the stress of implementing a new system, by creating a working roadmap for office transition to new workflows, software, and clear patient communication. The CE webinar will cover the basics of aligner design, materials, and mechanical advantages to understand the importance of product selection. The webinar will cover the top ten why’s and how’s that can alleviate office stress and improve patient communication. After the webinar, the attendee should be able to construct a plan to change aligner systems or implement an aligner program within their practice.

Digital dentistry and artificial intelligence are transforming the way clinicians diagnose, treatment plan, communicate with patients, and deliver care. This CE webinar explores practical applications of intraoral scanning, digital smile design, CAD/CAM technologies, 3D printing, and AI-assisted treatment planning tools that can be incorporated into everyday clinical workflows. Special emphasis will be placed on digital smile design platforms which utilize facial references and clinician-specific design preferences to create personalized esthetic outcomes. Through clinical cases and real-world examples, attendees will gain insight into how digital technologies can enhance efficiency, accuracy, patient engagement, and treatment outcomes. Clinical cases will also demonstrate how adhesive protocols and restorative materials can be seamlessly integrated into digital workflows from treatment planning through final restoration delivery. Participants will leave with practical strategies for implementing digital workflows and AI-powered solutions in both private practice and academic settings.

The stress of day to day practice does not always allow us to introduce new materials into to our daily routines. Fear of failure and extensive learning curves often leave dentists stuck with materials that are not current and/or materials that may not work as well as a modern advancement. In this CE webinar, join us as we explore a new/updated restorative material and how it not only can change the way we practice but also how it benefits our patients.

View Full Description »
More and more dental offices are booked months in advance and are operating with a limited staff. Dentists expect hygienists to deliver thorough cleanings but with less time allotted for each procedure. I would like to discuss ways to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality. The demands of life make it challenging to keep up with new and innovative technology. I would like to cover the latest technological advancements and products that could lead to better patient outcomes. Finally, I want to address personal health and wellness, which is essential for career longevity. In addition to exploring in-office and home yoga techniques, I would like to conduct a deep dive into anatomy, helping hygienists understand why their bodies hurt and exploring natural options to help them feel their best and perform at their highest level. After the CE webinar you can expect to offer new, highly sought-after services that help keep dental patients from escaping your practice.
