Build a top-performing practice and reach an ideal work-life as you discover what most dentists are lacking.

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 digital workflows and 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 new 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%.
