Townie Meeting 2015 Lecture Series

Life as a Young Dentist: How to be Successful in the Real World
by Cari Callaway-Nelson, DDS, FAGD
In dental school we were taught about microns and millimeters. Now that we're on our own, we need to master leadership and influence. Learn why these non-clinical skills are essential to a successful and thriving career as a dentist in the real world.

Buying a Dental Practice: There is more to it Than Price
by Tim Lott, CPA, CVA
This presentation is designed to educate the prospective buyer on how to approach the financial due-diligence aspect of buying a dental practice. You will learn what information you need, and how to piece together and analyze that information to formulate an offer. You will also learn some of the other aspects of the process so you will be prepared when you locate a practice you want to purchase.

Posterior Single Tooth Replacement
by Carl Misch, DDS, MDS, PhD (hc)
Traditional methods to replace missing teeth most often require adjacent teeth to bear the consequence of treatment. As a result, a cascade of destruction often occurs to adjacent teeth and an increase in the rate of tooth loss begins. A dental implant can prevent the additional tooth loss with replacing the missing teeth.

Anterior All Ceramics: From Case Selection to Cementation
by John Nosti, DMD, FAGD, FACE, FICOI
Do you want to perform more cosmetic dentistry but are unsure which patients are great candidates or what cement works best? Patients today are as cosmetically motivated as they have ever been. Join Dr. Nosti as he discusses case selection, smile design principles, how to order your Waxup Rx, preparation designs, temporization technique, cementation, and all the records necessary from your first visit to delivery day.

Fundamentals of Veneer Preparation
by David Hornbrook, DDS, FAACD, FACE
This presentation discusses what you need to correctly and predictably prepare teeth for ceramic veneers. It is designed to help all clinicians establish a system for success, beginning with the smile design and wax-up, and ending with the final evaluation of the preparations before impressions.

Those viewing this presentation will begin to have a thorough understanding of dental sleep medicine and will be in a position to appropriately screen all their patients. As important, they will have the information to decide whether or not to incorporate oral-appliance therapy in their offices and if so, what steps to take. The oral-appliance review will help them select and insert appliances and monitor appliance use. They will have a realistic perspective on the possible untoward side effects of appliance therapy on muscle and joints.

Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy, and Stainless-Steel Crowns
by Josh Wren, DMD
With the Affordable Care Act mandating dental coverage for those under 19, treating children may become a necessity for your dental office. Pulp therapy and stainless-steel crowns are procedures often considered complex when performed on pediatric patients. This course will alleviate any fear of the unknown that leads to this misconception. Indirect pulp therapy, pulpotomy, and pulpectomy will be discussed, with emphasis on diagnosis and technique. Dr. Wren will also share his anesthesia process so you can achieve a truly painless injection 100 percent of the time. If you treat children in your practice, this course is a must!

Associates, Partnerships, Acquisitions, Oh My!
by Jason Patrick Wood
This course—only $18.00!—is designed to educate the new dentist (0-10 years out of dental school) on the various stages of her or his early career. The first focus is on associate agreements and the issues and concerns a dentist must be aware of prior to signing. This course will then cover the challenges of buying into a practice as a partner, shareholder agreements, the unique issues facing a startup, and acquisitions. The focus will be on key issues that should be contained in a purchase agreement and some of the numerous pitfalls dentists need to be aware of prior to closing.
