Dental providers are often unsure how to leverage the hygiene department and grow the business. There’s never been a better time to revolutionize this approach! Tiffany Wuebben, RDH shares systematic methods that combat today's dental practice challenges, support patient health, and significantly improve career satisfaction and the financial success of the practice. In this CE webinar, we will engage in a collaborative approach to developing the mission/vision and patient care protocols for the hygiene-driven practice. We'll also discuss a method to revolutionize your hygiene schedule with a 100% reappointment rate. Next, we'll explore the steps to increase capacity through patient advocacy, recall, reactivation, reviews and better patient-practice relationships. We will also help you to recognize adjunct procedures that boost patient care and identify empowering practice strategies that transform the hygienist into a true “Hygienepreneur.” Finally, we'll highlight the proactive steps that professionals can take to build a thriving “hygiene practice within a practice" and develop the knowledge and skills to build a strong hygiene department leading to better clinical outcomes, greater case acceptance, all while maximizing the practice potential.

Many dentists have clinical cosmetic skills in both porcelain and composite but lack a structure and process for case presentation and therefore book fewer cases. Whether you prefer composite or porcelain, this CE webinar will help you discover how to use Single-Shade composites to deliver a highly reliable “Test-Drive” smile preview. This webinar will showcase curated case real-time mock-up techniques, clinical case examples, and streamlined workflow strategies that help dentists create efficient, consistent, and visually compelling in-mouth mock-ups and design.

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is an increasingly utilized adjunctive technology in modern dentistry. This introductory CE webinar provides dental professionals with a foundational understanding of the science, safety, and clinical applications of red light therapy in the dental setting. Participants will explore the biological mechanisms of red and near-infrared light, review current evidence supporting its use, and examine the top five dental procedures where red light therapy may be incorporated to support healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance patient comfort. Emphasis is placed on clinical indications, safety considerations, and practical integration into daily dental practice. This webinar is designed to equip dental professionals with the knowledge necessary to evaluate the role of red light therapy as part of comprehensive, patient-centered dental care.

Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.

I Can’t Take All This Science!
Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Remineralization used to be as simple as "put some fluoride on it!" But is the array of products available today claiming “remineralization” pushing the limits of oral healthcare? In a clinical world of dry mouth and acidic beverages, perhaps we’re putting too much faith in an antiquated understanding of what happens on the surface of a tooth. The science of reversing demineralization can be summarized easily, but clinicians would be wise to realize it takes more than an electronegative anion to rebuild the strongest biological substance on earth. How far can we push chemistry before accepting biochemistry makes more sense, and what could go horribly wrong?

Guest: Dr. Marvin Chacon
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.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.

Guest: Alicia Murria, RDH, MS
In today’s episode, we’re exploring the transformative role technology plays in elevating the patient experience—helping create more meaningful interactions, better outcomes, and stronger trust in the care being delivered. When dental hygienists actively engage with cutting-edge technology and the clinical tools that come with it, they not only improve patient education, case acceptance, and compliance, but also help streamline insurance claim approvals and enhance overall clinical efficiency. In doing so, many hygienists gain a renewed perspective on their profession—often leading to greater career fulfillment and satisfaction.
