Occlusion & Smile Design - Protocols to Put Your Practice in the Top 10%
Occlusion & Smile Design – Protocols to Put Your Practice in the Top 10% is our brand new introductory seminar where occlusal foundations are paired with updates in implementation, fee-for-service insurance, patient communication and more. Students will learn our fundamentals of functional esthetic dentistry that places practices within the top percentiles in their communities.
You will understand the protocols for success following our founding occlusal principles with added focus on practice implementation in this updated course. Students will be given practical advice on becoming less insurance dependent to boost their bottom line. Is your insurance working for you, or are you working for them?
In this course, a sharpened eye has been placed on The Dawson Academy’s Concepts of Complete Dentistry and how to implement this knowledge into your practice after attending. With a collection of take-home resources and checklists, you will learn the requirements for occlusal stability to improve your practice–from examination and records to treatment planning to practice management–as you envision yourself in the top 10%.
Added material in this occlusion-led course includes patient communication, case acceptance, converting to fee-for-service insurance, and more.
Our timeless principles remain the foundation of quality care dentistry. True long-term success, otherwise known as predictability, in restorative care is the merger of esthetic, functional, and phonetic parameters. The foundation of The Dawson Academy’s philosophy is a complete understanding of how the TM joints, muscles, proprioceptive input, lower anterior teeth, upper anterior teeth, lower posterior teeth, and upper posterior teeth are designed to function in harmony with one another. Since 1979, we’ve been setting the bar to help dentists understand this intersection of function and esthetics.
Bonus content will be presented catered to implementation and business management. Students will understand how integrity and fulfillment are intertwined to create the most efficient and predictable outcomes and results. This course will give you an insight and understanding that will change not only how you practice and manage, but your enjoyment of practice as well.
