Small Footprint, Big Impact: Same-Day Restorations with Nano-Sized Chairside 3D Printing
Presenter: Dr. Michael Erdos
Sponsor: Shining 3D
Tue  7/7/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

The digital restorative workflow has matured to the point where same-visit crowns, inlays, and onlays are now reliable, strong, and easy to implement. A new generation of compact chairside printers brings fast, chairside friendly printing with a built-in curing light in any dental operatory. Paired with an integrated ecosystem - intraoral scanning, AI-driven design, and streamlined print preparation - these systems make it realistic for a GP to scan, design, print, and deliver a definitive restoration in a single appointment. This one-hour CE webinar will walk attendees through the complete chairside digital workflow, from capturing the initial intraoral scan to seating the final restoration. We will review clinical indications best suited for in-office printing - single-unit crowns, inlays, and onlays - and demonstrate how AI-assisted design and intuitive print setup dramatically reduce the traditional learning curve associated with chairside 3D printing. The goal is for every attendee to leave with a clear, practical understanding of how an in-office printer can be integrated into their practice to save chair time, reduce lab dependency, and deliver predictable same-day results.


Growth without Compromise: Lessons Learned for Merging Practices While Maintaining a Health-centered Focus

This CE webinar is designed to provide dental professionals with practical, experience-based guidance for successfully growing and integrating multiple practices while maintaining a health-centered philosophy of care. Drawing from real-world lessons learned through practice mergers and expansion, the webinar will explore strategies for preserving continuity of patient care, strengthening team culture, and sustaining operational efficiency during periods of growth. Participants will gain insight into common challenges associated with practice integration, including communication barriers, workflow disruptions, and team alignment, along with actionable solutions to address them. The webinar will also examine how effective systems and processes can support profitability and efficiency without compromising clinical excellence or patient-centered outcomes. In addition, attendees will learn how material selection and clinical workflow decisions can influence practice performance by reducing chair time, simplifying inventory management, and enhancing the overall patient experience. Through practical examples and proven approaches, participants will leave with tools to support sustainable growth while preserving the core values that define high-quality, health-focused care.

Freehand composite bonding can be technique-sensitive, time-consuming, and inconsistent, even for experienced clinicians. As patient expectations continue to rise, dentists need a more predictable and efficient approach to delivering high-quality aesthetic results. This CE webinar introduces a smarter workflow for composite bonding using injection techniques. Participants will learn how to transition from freehand artistry to a structured, repeatable system that improves accuracy, efficiency, and confidence. We will cover case selection, smile design principles, matrix fabrication, and the clinical steps required to deliver predictable results. Emphasis will be placed on simplifying the workflow without sacrificing aesthetics, allowing clinicians to achieve consistent outcomes while reducing chair time and stress. Whether you are new to injection composite or looking to refine your technique, this webinar will provide practical strategies you can begin implementing immediately in your practice.


From Chaos to Clusters: 50 Shades of Grey May Be Okay, but 50 Shades of Composite, Really?

In an era where every manufacturer is throwing their hat into the shade simplification ring, how can the pragmatic doctor navigate the waters? From the promise of single shade, omnichromatic entries, to shade reduced options, and perhaps even well designed clustered shade pallets, this webinar is designed to debunk the myths and give attendees the tools to make educated material selection decisions. These decisions can lead to better inventory economics, while simultaneously improving the predictability of esthetic outcomes for patients. In this dynamic CE webinar, Dr. Hakim will share the latest innovations in the category, while also reviewing the basics of adhesive composite delivery to reinforce successful and lasting restorations.

Guest: Dr. Sam Simos
For decades, dentists have been trained to believe that different clinical situations demand different composite materials—one for strength in the posterior, another for esthetics in the anterior, and often several more just to manage shade. But today, material science is challenging that long-held mindset. In this episode, we’re taking a hard look at whether we’ve truly entered the era of the universal composite—a single material that does it all. Our guest is Dr. Sam Simos, a general dentist for over 30 years practicing outside of Chicago Illinois. He is a well-respected speaker, clinician and product evaluator.

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.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
