Multiple comprehensive cases, techniques, and concept videos are available for all the sections listed below. New cases and instructional videos are presented regularly.

Program Contents

Veneers & Aesthetics

• The fundamentals of aesthetics: determining and restoring the optimum shape and position of the maxillary and mandibular incisal planes, and the correct anterior teeth length and width.
• Understanding the critical relationships between the incisal planes, gingival lines, lip lines, and pupillary line.
• Understanding the “lip in repose” classifications and their role in determining the precise incisal plane position.
• Restoration of 8–12 maxillary and/or mandibular teeth with porcelain veneers.
• Critical components of shade matching adjacent teeth with veneers.

Implants & Implant-Secured Dentures

• Stabilization of full and partial dentures using small diameter (mini) implants, including teeth extraction, alveolar ridge recontouring, immediate implant placement, bone grafting, and suturing.
• Root form implant placement and sinus lifts with bone grafting and implant placement.
• Utilization of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF).
• Immediate and delayed implant placements using PRF with single- and multi-rooted teeth extractions.
• Determination of vertical dimension for fabricating removable full dentures.

Anterior Crowns & Bridges

• Periodontal crown lengthening surgery combining alveolar bone recontouring with gingivectomy for stable gingival lines.
• Pros and cons of replacing missing anterior teeth with fixed bridges, implants, and Maryland bridges.
• Creating ideal pontic receptor sites for natural-looking anterior fixed bridges.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

• Step-by-step instruction on full mouth reconstructions, including methods to increase vertical dimension.
• A predictable system for increasing vertical dimension in wear cases.

TMJ, Facial Pain & Occlusion

• Manipulating the mandible into centric relation and understanding components of ideal occlusion.
• Differences between centric relation and centric occlusion; proper eccentric contacts; cuspid protected vs. group function movements.
• Fundamentals of occlusal equilibration.
• Diagnosis and treatment of myofascial and intraarticular facial pain and dysfunction.
• Reading MRIs to diagnose TMJ disc displacement and treatment planning.
• Understanding TMJ sounds (pops and clicks) and their complexity.
• Patient communication: setting realistic expectations for TMJ treatment.

The Most Productive Practice System

• Effective new patient interviews, comprehensive examinations, and consultations to motivate patients towards comprehensive treatment.
• Learning the fundamentals of one of the most productive dental practice systems in the United States.
