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.

Dental Hygiene Treatment Planning: New and Amended CDT Procedure Codes for 2025
Presenter: Kathy S. Forbes, RDH, BS
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
More and more, dental hygienists are expected to select the most accurate CDT procedure codes for the medically necessary treatment they provide to patients. Since the ADA’s Code Maintenance Committee meets yearly, those procedures and their descriptors can either be amended, deleted, or stay the same. The CE webinar will discuss the changes (or not) and additions/deletions which came on January 1, 2025. Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists. In addition, more and more caries management products are being developed and how to know which code is the most appropriate. And what procedure code for desiccation therapy? A total of 10 new codes, 8 revised codes and 2 deleted codes will be presented.

Adhesive Dentistry - What, Why, and How
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
There is a concept in dentistry that somehow adhesion is better and yet we see amalgams and crowns, held on by zinc phosphate cement, are still working in patients mouths 40+ years later but we see failure rates and replacements of various adhesive dentistry in 5-10 years. Where techniques use to be more simplistic with less steps and basic fundamentals we achieved success, and now we throw out many of those concepts and replace them with adhesion, we expect to find longevity. Are you seeing longevity or are you seeing more sensitivity, problems, failures or costly redos? This CE webinar is a look at where we are at with modern adhesion and what we believe we know. The goal is to give you some systems, tools and thoughts to consider to help you and your patients to have better longevity and success in the restorative dentistry you provide.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
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: Dr. Luis Abrahante
On today’s episode, we’re talking with an inspiring young dentist whose story is nothing short of amazing. Meet Dr. Luis Abrahante—he came to the U.S. from Cuba at just 18 years old, not knowing a word of English. Fast forward to age 31, and he’s already paid off his dental school loans, bought his own practice, and turned it into a fully digital, high-end aesthetic dentistry hub. He shares with us how he did it along with his favorite dental materials.
