Digital Advancement in Implant Dentistry

Course Overview

This three-hour evening course provides a foundational overview of digital dentistry workflows and how technologies such as intraoral scanners, CBCT, planning software, and in-office 3D printing can enhance implant treatment. Participants will explore how these tools function independently or as part of an integrated system to streamline clinical, team, and laboratory workflows.

Through live demonstrations—including hands-on scanning and 3D printing—attendees will gain practical insight into implementation considerations, assess practice readiness, and identify next steps for integrating digital solutions into implant workflows.

CE Credits: 3 | AGD: 690 – Implants

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Outline the key components of a digital workflow that support dental implants.
• Differentiate between standalone and integrated digital systems.
• Recognize clinical and operational considerations for implementation.
• Identify next-step resources to integrate digital tools into implant workflows.

Is My Practice Ready for Implant Dentistry?

Course Overview

This 3-hour evening lecture is designed for general dentists exploring or early in implant dentistry, along with their Office Managers and/ or Treatment Coordinators. This foundational course provides a structured framework to evaluate readiness for implementing implant dentistry, covering clinical fundamentals alongside essential practice systems, team roles, financial considerations, and patient conversion processes required for long-term success

CE Credits: 3 | AGD: 690 – Implants

Course Objectives

Participants leave with clarity on what is required — clinically and operationally — to introduce implant dentistry safely, ethically, and sustainably.

• Clinical case selection and planning
• Implant system selection and ROI considerations
• Treatment coordination and patient education
• Team readiness and workflow integration
• Hygiene involvement and long-term implant care

Leadership & Operations for Growing Dental Practices

Course Overview

Most dental practices don’t stall due to clinical skill, but from a lack of structure and clear decision-making. This course changes that. Built around the three key drivers—Demand, Conversion, and Capacity—you’ll learn how to attract patients, improve case acceptance, and optimize your systems for consistent growth. Designed for practice owners and emerging leaders, this course provides the tools to reduce bottlenecks, strengthen team performance, and make confident, data-driven decisions.

CE Credits: 6 | AGD: 550 – Business

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Module 1 — Leadership Psychology: How owner behaviour shapes culture, team performance, and production. Tools to lead without burnout.
• Module 2 — Operational Infrastructure: SOPs, RACI ownership, block scheduling, and cross-department workflow optimization.
• Module 3 — Financial Literacy: Reading a P&L, understanding EBITDA vs. cash flow, controlling overhead, and making confident investment decisions.
• Module 4 — HR, Hiring & Retention: Hiring for values, onboarding effectively, managing performance, and building a team that does not need the owner to function.
• Module 5 — KPI Mastery: Which numbers matter, who owns them, and how to use data to pull the right lever at the right time.

What you get!

• Printed workbook: Frameworks, worksheets, plus a 90-day implementation plan
• Course materials: For ongoing reference after the event
• Personal follow-up call: A 20-minute session with Kate two weeks after the course

Complicated Extractions & Bone Grafting

Course Overview

This two-day hands-on course focuses on the management of complicated dental extractions and the principles and techniques of bone preservation. Participants will learn efficient operatory setup, surgical PPE protocols, retraction techniques, and proper assisting methods.
