Why Did I Get Out of Bed Today?:
Tales from a Comprehensive Dentist
by John Nosti, DMD, FAGD, FACE, FICOI
Unfortunately, failures occur in every dental
practice. Despite this fact, when failures occur there
is still an emotional and mental strain placed on the
practitioner. Dr. Nosti discusses case failures and
shares with you the moments he wished he stayed
in bed. He will review treatments and discuss what
he would and wouldn’t have changed. This candid
lecture was presented at Townie Meeting 2014. You
won’t want to miss it!
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 infl uence. Learn why
these non-clinical skills are essential to a successful
and thriving career as a dentist in the real world. This
course was recorded live at Townie Meeting 2014!
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 to look at, how to
piece the information together and
how to analyze that information to formulate an offer. This course was recorded live at
Townie Meeting 2014!
The Thriving Fee-For-Service Practice
by Steve Rasner, DMD, MAGD
The tsunami of capitation, corporate care and a
challenged economy have impacted even the strongest
of practices. This presentation is a blueprint to
remain an independent fee for service practice by a
clinician who has increased growth and profitability
for 30 consecutive years. Dr. Rasner explains the protocols
and foundations that can elevate any dental
practice to extraordinary levels of success.
The course includes practice management strategies
that increase case acceptance and cash flow,
and decrease the bumps in your day. Participants
will walk away with use-it-on-Monday clinical gems
that range from enhancing your soft tissue aesthetics
to dramatically improving your anesthetic technique,
as well as leadership principles that have kept
Dr. Rasner’s staff of 16 together for an average of 18
years — without going broke! The psychology of
winning is also discussed — i.e., the mental toughness
we all need in order to bounce back from those
bad weeks. Lastly, you’ll learn where balance fits into
the dynamic of success and how the super achiever
can give back to the world and not miss out on the
most important part of the journey: family, friends
and a full life.
Hot Topics in Aesthetics, Dental
Ceramics and Adhesives
by Edward McLaren, DDS, MDC
This presentation covers current all-ceramic systems
from selection criteria to their application in
veneer, inlay, onlay, crown and implant application.
Current issues on how to use digital smile design
in order to communicate with the patient and new
materials for aesthetic prototypes (mock-ups) are
introduced. A simple three-step system (the shade
trilogy) is detailed that greatly minimizes remakes
because of shade mismatches. New and past adhesives
are compared and issues and research with new
adhesives are featured. This was recorded live at
Townie Meeting 2014.
