Minimize Outsourcing, Maximize Productivity – Dentures in One Hour

Technology is advancing rapidly and every industry has seen major advancements—dental care is no exception. This full-day course, "WOW! Complete Dentures in One Hour," will help you streamline your dental practice and arm you with new materials and easy-to-learn techniques to fabricate complete dentures internally in about one hour.

Instead of outsourcing materials or sending patients home only to return a week later, this workshop will teach you how to create complete dentures within an hour and how to incorporate that hour into your practice to ensure proper time management. Obtaining this knowledge will help you attract new patients, expand your practice, and increase your income.

This course was the first to fill up at AGD 2015, so be sure to sign up when registration for AGD 2016 opens on February 2nd.

Are you Providing a 360 Experience for Dental Care?

Imagine a new patient coming into your office for the first time. This could be either a onetime visit or a lifelong patient. What makes the difference, and how do you ensure they stay? Most often it has to do with the impression they get walking through the door—is your dental assistant welcoming? Does your dental hygienist truly care? Are they all in sync on their values? Have you ever thought about the importance of their attitude? You spend each workday with these individuals and it is crucial for them to share the same passion and devotion to your practice as you do.

Your team often sets the tone for your whole office. Do you want to ensure your staff is unified and on board with your mission and focus? The 360 Experience motivates and educates the entire team, empowering them with the knowledge and skills to take your practice to the next level by increasing production, case acceptance, and improving communication for the entire office.

This full-day dental education course will be led by industry leaders in all respective fields, including Restorative DDS Speaker: Douglas L. Lambert, DDS, FACD, FASDA, FASD, ABAD, Business Team Speaker: Rhonda Savage, DDS, Assistant Speaker: Edwin "Mac" McDonald, DDS, FAGD, Hygiene Speaker: Marianne Dryer, RDH, Med.

More than Just another Dental Conference

Every major city has its own personality, and Boston’s personality is steeped in history. It is a history made up of revolutionary concepts regarding government and society that played a major role in shaping the United States as well as the world we live in today.

Holding the AGD’s annual meeting in Boston gives us the opportunity to reflect on our own history, and how that history revolutionized the field of general dentistry.

The AGD was founded on the belief that education doesn’t end at graduation, and that those who excel in their chosen field do so because of their commitment to lifelong learning. Dental Continuing Education has now become an industry unto itself, and the AGD remains at the forefront.

Our annual meeting has always been a reflection of that. Many other dental conferences feature continuing education, but few celebrate it the way the AGD does.

The AGD convocation ceremony is a perfect example. After a weekend of learning, networking, and comradery, everyone gathers together to celebrate those who sacrificed the hours and energy to continue the pursuit of learning.

Seeing our members in full regalia, smiling and taking pictures with their families, creates a contagious energy of goodwill felt by everyone in the room.

Every single AGD member needs to visit an annual meeting for themselves to truly understand what our organization is all about. We certainly hope you can join us, July 14 to 17, 2016 in Boston.
