Intro to CEO Roundtable

We are bringing one of our most popular events to the Social Summit! This course is an introduction to what it means to be a CEO and how to run your practice like a CEO. We will be discussing the various topics that practice owners find challenging from leadership to management and financial numbers. Our CEO Roundtables have been running since 2018 and each year we cover various themes that help give perspective on how to be an effective practice owner. Get a preview of our CEO Roundtable filled with leadership and practice management topics.

The Bioclear Method for Black Triangles

As strong and empowered Mommy DIBS, we all strive to be better leaders and business professionals by using new and innovative tools, but we find ourselves stuck using the same techniques like implants and computer assisted ceramics. Direct composites can offer a compelling minimally invasive alternative that will meet patients’ needs and exceed their expectations. The Bioclear Method allows you to create predictable repeatable outcomes that look natural when using composite. Esthetic treatments including diastema closure, black triangle closure, Class II, III and IV composite restorations are just the start of what can be done with the increasingly popular Bioclear Method. In this break out session, you will be introduced to the benefits of Bioclear, practice techniques on soft tissue dentiforms, and come away with the basic skills and understanding needed as a precursor to performing the Bioclear Method for patients. You’ll perform a Black Triangle restoration and learn about Class II restorations using the Bioclear Method.

This is a hands-on course!

Course Title:

Lie to me

Course Description:

We have created a life building up other people: our patients towards smiling more, our team members into growing more and our families into being loved more. Yet, when it comes to building up who we are or taking credit for how far we’ve come we have chosen to tear ourselves apart. We lie to ourselves, calling ourselves fat, weak, ugly, inferior, less-than… and the list goes on. We’ve convinced ourselves that we work too much, or too little, parent too much or not enough, are too frugal or spend money without limit.

Changing how we view ourselves may seem as simple as changing our mindset and our viewpoint; yet, if it were in fact that simple, we’d all be leading into a healthier relationship with ourselves. With scientific studies to back, and a lot of world experience, this hour will ignite within us a journey towards a less tainted self-actualization. This course will lead us:

Course Objectives:

To understand how we’ve created a circle of lying to ourselves as a way of negotiating self- growth
To understand how we can disassemble those lies and lean towards truth
To understand how we can choose what to believe and how it can lead us towards a lighter, more joyful life.

Discovering how to get out of PPOs forever while increasing the fulfillment, practice profitability and take more time off with your family

Course Description: Coming Soon!

DO YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF EACH PATIENT TYPE IN YOUR PRACTICE? The difference in value from your cash patients, to membership club patients and your insurance patients? Often times you could be hemorrhaging cashflow and don’t even know it because they’re not the same value, not even close. How’ s your “INTERNAL BRAND” that guides you TO DO WHAT YOU DO, not what you say you do? I’m not talking about a logo or marketing tagline, rather an internal brand that drives you and your team to increase your referrals because your patients have something to talk about. Just like Four Season Hotels. When you visit a Four Seasons, they give you something to talk about and you are willing to spend much more per stay because of the experience you had during the stay. During this session, John will provide an objective framework to dramatically increase your patient value, bring brand loyalty, how to increase profitability and focus / attract the ideal patients to bring more fulfillment in your practice (and take off more time too).

Course Objectives: Coming Soon!

Identify the core reasons what makes you come alive each day and how to

increase those ideal days which will bring more fulfillment in your practice.

Discover how to transition your practice from a busy, chaotic practice to a busy, fulfilling practice that brings you joy each day —- while making more revenue as well!. It’s not as hard as you think. Understand how to bring your entire team on the journey with you instead of you trying to “pull the ship with a rope.”

Course Title:

The Truth About Occlusion and Rethinking "Normal"

Course Description:

What is the molar classification on the right? How about the left? What does this mean for your patient’s oral health? Malocclusion or misalignment can lead to oral maladies that increase the risk of tooth loss and periodontal disease. Malocclusion may also be a marker for airway issues, TMJ disorders, and migraines, significantly impacting the patient’s overall health. Receding gums, tooth wear, and crowding have a cascading effect on tooth health and the patient’s periodontal condition and aren’t something we should dismiss as “normal.” Identifying and treating these conditions can help us identify ways to prevent long-term damage to tooth and bone structure and create positive health outcomes– saving them from painful procedures or high costs down the line.

Course Objectives:

Evaluate the implications of recession and enamel loss on patients and how identifying and treating these conditions can improve patients' oral health status.
Appreciate how occlusion is related to dental and overall health.
Discuss how to educate, treatment plan, and support patients with malocclusion or misalignment.

Armed with what he considered adequate dental knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became unpredictable, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self; attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement. More than a decade later, Dr. Gupta enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution-oriented dental team, and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He shares practical, implementable, step-by-step strategies with audiences of dental professionals across the country. Attendees learn how to avoid failures, achieve successes and be better.

Aesthetic and functional Foundations for removable prosthetics

Course Description:

Restorative and prosthetic dentistry is in a state of crisis. With more and more
individuals in need of complete dentures therapy – social media, corporate advertising, and even the most reputable dental symposiums continue to focus a heavy emphasis on conventional fixed treatments (i.e., cosmetic crown and bridge dentistry). Much of what students have learned during their dental school education about dentures is flawed, and based on outdated, dogmatic principles. There is a new wave of clinicians/technicians that are challenging the status quo and are pushing for bold updates to the education and training of complete dentures/implant overdentures in an effort to rekindle the love affair with the original full-mouth rehabilitation. This course will go through several case studies and outline the low-cost materials and easy-to-follow techniques necessary for treating edentulous patients with efficacious, predictable, and profitable outcomes.

Course Objectives:

Establish the parameters of complete dentures that are coincident with contemporary fixed prosthetics and how they apply to treatment planning.
Review many of the current shortcomings that exist with all phases of removable complete dentures prosthetics.
Develop a case-specific armamentarium for complete dentures/implant-overdentures based on aesthetic and functional demands for each patient.
Apply new concepts and techniques to current patient base.
