In an era of “quick fixes” and instant gratification, the pressure to deliver fast, single tooth, emergency type dental care is stronger than ever. By choosing to implement a Health-Centered philosophy, you will learn to differentiate yourself from the competition, define your vision, and help your patients achieve and maintain successful dental futures. This individualized model puts the doctor-patient relationship in the driver seat rather than insurance and/or reactive care.
In 2021 it will be more important than ever to focus on improving the patient experience. In the new COVID-19 world patients rightfully expect increased communications, clear direction, no-touch services, and access to technology that simplifies their dental experience and makes them feel safe. In this CE webinar you will learn how to meet and exceed these demands through the use of technology and automation. Mastering the skills below will make you, your team, and your patients safer and happier while also improving case acceptance and retention.
The traditional current model in dentistry, influenced primarily by third party payers, offers only a “reactive” approach to restorative care. Most if not all conservative minimally & non-invasive treatment options are typically not “covered” expenses; and when they are, they are reimbursed at a rate that makes them unrealistic. In this CE webinar a more “proactive” approach will be presented to better serve the patient population and to enhance the practices ability to operate more independently and profitably without the interference of third parties.

Participants will leave with a valuable update on the latest products and techniques to take back and implement into daily practice for saving time, minimizing stress and maximizing productivity.
Composite is a great material that can be used in a multitude of ways with great success. This CE webinar will illustrate the value of the versatility of composite as a restorative material and as a direct restorative option for aesthetics that can change lives in appearance and function. We will begin by discussing composite materials and their attributes. Bonding with some unique materials will be addressed to solve some of dentistry’s puzzling problems. Bleeding and isolation challenges will be addressed. A number of cases will be shown to achieve veneering success and great out-of-the-box thinking for post orthodontic options. Occlusion will be discussed with these unique direct composite cases.
How to effectively make your patients’ fear and anxiety lessen with a single-visit replacement solution. During these challenging times upon us, avoiding multiple dental visits is beneficial to everyone and with a single designed and navigated 3D guided surgical procedure. Much more can now be accomplished within just one visit. Come join us LIVE and see exactly how to execute this beneficial procedure in one single visit using piezoelectric technology for atraumatic extractions and digital guide design for immediate implant placement.
It would be difficult to find another technique in dentistry that has as much evidence as sealants to prevent and arrest dental caries. But is placing a sealant an ultra-simple procedure that doesn’t require much skill or precision? If your sealants seem more like custom fitted plaque traps than highly effective decay prevention, don’t miss this opportunity to re-think your sealing materials and techniques.
This CE webinar will discuss how dental personnel are at risk for disease transmission as they may acquire pathogenic microorganisms from patients and others within the dental facility. Hand hygiene in accordance with CDC Guidelines and OSHA Standards will be addressed, as well as appropriate methods and motivation techniques to enhance compliance and ensure a safe dental visit for all.
Composite warming techniques have been used for some time in dentistry. New advances in delivery now make this technique simpler and more predictable. This CE webinar will review the science behind warming composites and some of the new advances developed to help clinicians be more efficient and produce exceptional results. Various systems and delivery modalities will be reviewed.
Are you confident in how to adhere ceramic restorations to tooth structure? Want to know what steps and materials to utilize to adhere ceramic veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns? This CE webinar will cover the various steps and materials to implement so that you can be more confident in adhering ceramic restorations of any kind in your dental office. Simplifying adhesion to enamel, dentin and various types of ceramics so you can be confident when you are starting your next case.
The post-endodontics restoration of teeth (after RCT) has structural, biological, chemical, and physical considerations. Much of current education, and literature, remains based on ‘traditional’ dental approaches, including cements and metal posts. Today the practitioner is faced with a bewildering array of adhesives, structural support (post alternatives) and chemical combinations – all before we get to the part that the patient is most concerned with: the esthetics of the final restoration. This CE webinar will help practitioners better understand the alternative materials that are available and their limitations; select and use the right materials / chemistries to achieve complete polymerization, even at the most apical end of the prep; and techniques that result in a final build-up virtually free of shrinkage, that prevents bacterial ingress and provides a sound structural base for the most esthetic final restoration. Dr. Fanica and Dr. Enachescu bring years of endodontic therapy and extensive knowledge of materials to help make post-endo restorative treatment straight forward and successful.
The opportunities for 3D printing, scanning and integration into dental office systems is expanding at an alarming rate. This CE webinar will discuss the practical ways to incorporate 3D technology into the general dental office, and the tremendous potential it has for increasing productivity and profitability. We will explore together the rational, as well as when and how to implement this technology. Topics will include 3D printed study models, surgical guides, in-office aligners and occlusal guards. Particular emphasis will be placed on incorporating a seamless workflow that team members can support.

Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is a common dental condition that affects a large majority of the population and despite extensive investigation, this disorder remains underdiagnosed, underreported, and undertreated. Dentinal hypersensitivity impacts quality of life and emotional well-being Patients experiencing DH can also suffer from physical and psychological problems. Clinical management of dentinal hypersensitivity is possible.
The first step in effective instrument reprocessing for dentistry is the cleaning process. If all debris is not removed from the instruments prior to sterilization, instruments and other items will not be sterile and safe for patient treatment. This CE webinar will look at all aspects of instrument cleaning, from instrument cleaning techniques and devices, to selecting the appropriate equipment and solutions and monitoring equipment for efficacy. CDC guidelines for instrument cleaning will be reviewed, and manufacturer’s instructions for use will be discussed.
This CE webinar will prepare you to protect your practice during COVID-19 and better handle disaster response, including cybersecurity breaches, ransomware, and HIPAA & OSHA violations.
