Composite dentistry has evolved and yet many clinicians still struggle with consistency, efficiency, and long-term outcomes. This CE webinar breaks down a universal composite workflow that simplifies material selection, maintains esthetics, and increases predictability across everyday restorative cases. Designed for real-world dentistry, this course focuses on practical techniques for posterior and anterior restorations, shade simplification, handling characteristics, layering strategies, and polishing protocols that elevate results without adding complexity or chair time. Attendees will leave with immediately applicable techniques to improve restoration longevity, patient satisfaction, and clinical confidence.

This CE webinar explores how shifting from passive monitoring to non-invasive early intervention can transform both patient outcomes and practice performance. As clinicians gain access to advanced diagnostic technologies, the opportunity to identify and treat early enamel lesions—before cavitation—has never been greater. Yet many practices struggle with team alignment, case acceptance, and integrating these protocols into everyday workflows.
This webinar outlines a practical, team-centered approach to implementing early intervention strategies that preserve tooth structure through guided hydroxyapatite generation while simultaneously driving measurable production growth. Attendees will learn how to leverage modern detection tools, standardize clinical protocols, and empower the entire dental team—from hygienists to front office—to communicate value effectively and confidently.
By connecting clinical excellence with business impact, this course demonstrates how early intervention is not just a treatment philosophy, but a scalable growth strategy. Participants will leave with actionable steps to improve patient trust, increase case acceptance, and create a more proactive, productive practice culture.

Early intervention for tethered oral tissues (TOTs) can play a significant role in improving a child’s overall health and development. In this CE webinar, Dr. Jared Poplin will examine common conditions associated with tongue-ties and lip-ties, including challenges with breastfeeding, speech development, and oral health. The webinar will also highlight how the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser supports precise, efficient frenectomy procedures with minimal bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and remarkably rapid healing.

This CE webinar explores the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of smooth surface enamel defects, integrating both contemporary diagnostic tools and conservative therapeutic strategies. It addresses the different types of enamel lesions based on their topography and etiology—ranging from initial carious demineralizations to developmental defects such as hypoplasia, fluorosis, and hypomineralization—highlighting how these variations influence clinical decision-making. A key concept discussed is the optical nature of white spot lesions. Early enamel demineralization creates subsurface porosities without surface cavitation, leading to light scattering and the characteristic opaque appearance. These lesions are not due to pigmentation but rather to changes in light diffraction within the enamel structure. The webinar also covers advanced diagnostic approaches, including the benefits of transillumination to better assess lesion depth and extension, improving accuracy in treatment indication. Pre-treatment considerations such as bleaching are presented as a way to harmonize the overall tooth shade and enhance the final esthetic outcome. Central to the discussion is the principle of erosion-infiltration, initially developed for early proximal carious lesions but now widely extended to smooth surface defects. The technique relies on modifying the enamel’s optical properties by infiltrating its porosities with a low-viscosity resin whose refractive index closely matches that of healthy enamel, allowing light to pass through more uniformly and restoring translucency.

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.
This CE webinar will guide clinicians through a modern, evidence-based approach to creating beautiful composite veneers using the injection molding technique. Participants will learn how to integrate digital smile design into their workflow to plan esthetic outcomes with intention and accuracy. The webinar will cover case selection, template fabrication, material handling, and step-by-step clinical execution to ensure highly esthetic, minimally invasive results. Dr. Melissa Seibert will also discuss the evolving category of injectable composites - clarifying their indications, advantages, and limitations - to help clinicians make confident material and technique choices that elevate their esthetic dentistry.
This is not your father's composite webinar. Dr. John Gammichia, a full time private practice dentist, lives in the real world. A world where people break cusps and can't afford a build-up and onlay/crown. So what do you do? Pull it?! How about an exquisite 2,3,4 or 5 cusp composite restoration? Of course, we will start with the class I and the class II restorations. We will of adhesion and some of the current biomimetic philosophy. Then we will build from this knowledge. How do you handle uncomfortably big restorations or deep decay? How about big AND deep restorations? How about cracks? Lastly, we will discuss your obstacles to this type of dentistry...do they last or can I make any money doing dentistry this way? This CE webinar will be fun but Dr. Gammichia wants you to feel a little uncomfortable...you will be challenged. By the end of the webinar you will be saying "Holy Cow! I Didn't Know You Could do that with Composite."

Hygiene has always been viewed as important in dentistry—but what if it’s actually the most underutilized growth engine in the entire practice and the key to elevating the overall patient experience? On today’s episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to optimize the hygiene department and how that shows up in a dentist’s day-to-day life when it’s done right. Because when hygiene is empowered to do more, patients don’t just feel “cleaned”—they feel educated, cared for, and connected to the practice. Our guest is Tiffany Wuebben, RDH and Founder and CEO of The Hygienepreneur.

As individuals, each of us have a unique set of oral health needs. These needs are influenced by a myriad of factors including our age, medical history, dental history, lifestyle, and genetics. And because of this, oral health assessments are pivotal in both diagnosing existing issues and in crafting preventative strategies to maintain long-term oral health. To talk about the oral health assessment in more depth and give us some super practical recommendations is our guest Kerry Lepicek. Kerry over 20 years of clinical experience as a registered dental hygienist and continues to work part-time in a clinical setting. She is an international speaker, a published author. and serves on the Advisory Board of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health.

Whether due to insufficient bone, medical contraindications, financial constraints, or patient preferences, single-tooth implants aren’t the solution for every case. That’s where fiber-reinforced bridges come in. To tell us all about the wonders of fiber-reinforced bridges is our guest, Dr. Marvin Chacon. With over 15 years of clinical dentistry experience, he obtained his Master's in Aesthetic Dentistry from King's College London in 2022. As a clinical trainer and speaker, he focuses on modern dental materials and innovative techniques under the "minimum Intervention" approach.
