Would you like to treat more large, complex and interesting cases in your dental practice this year?
Would you like to treat more large, complex and interesting cases in your dental practice this year?
If you are like most dentists these days you could use a little more production and a little more predictability with your schedule.
 
Lets face it with the uncertainty in the world and local economy and the increase of retail dental corporations and dental insurance our practices and our profit margins are being squeezed in multiple directions.
 
One solution is to run around and see more patients each day. This can work to increase production but will leave you feeling run down, drained and if you are like me, uninspired.
 
I know this is true because when I was a young dentist right out of school I briefly worked as an associate in a production office where the principle dentist was seeing 3 patients at a time in three different chairs.
 
This poor dentist would start treatment on one patient, move to the next patient while the first patient was still being worked on and then check on a patient in the third chair before moving back to the first patient to work on that person some more before repeating the circle all over again.
 
I have to say I felt really bad for him... There was no joy coming into the dental practice because he was literally grinding out each day as a single tooth production dentist. Sure his schedule would include the odd bridge or small veneer case which should have increased his joy and pleasure of dentistry but if you can imagine the stress of trying to produce elegant dentistry with that schedule you will understand why he did not love coming into the practice.
Working at this dental practice 
had a profound influence on me
Working at this dental practice had a profound influence on me
I realized I did not want to run around like that every day.
 
I realized I wanted to have joy, satisfaction and pride in my dentistry.
 
I realized I wanted to focus my career on being a comprehensive dentist.
 
I realized I wanted to do the kind of dentistry you see the Gurus show at the big lectures.
 
I wanted to be able to offer beautiful dentistry with precise fit and occlusion to my patients.
I Started a Journey...
I Started a Journey...
I decided to dedicate myself to offering the best esthetics I could and become an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
 
I decided to invest my time, energy and money in my continuing education and spent years going to small workshops with some of the best dental educators in the world. Dentists like Dr. John Kois, Dr. Frank Spear, Dr. Peter Dawson, Dr. Jimmy Eubank and Dr. Pascal Magne to name just a few.
 
What I did next was to take all the brilliant ideas learned from these great mentors and my journey to become an accredited member of the AACD and put these lessons together into a series of systems to use in my general dental practice.
 
But not to see multiple patients at a time...
 
I designed these systems to see one patient at a time but with this kind of dentistry you can out-produce any single tooth dentist and have the joy, satisfaction and pride in your dentistry.
That is my story and reason I started down 
the path to being a comprehensive dentist
That is my story and reason I started down the path to being a comprehensive dentist
It is not really a story I have told before but I wanted to tell it today because I know many practices are having trouble filling their schedules and even matching their production this year to their production last year.
 
I also know that many of us are not feeling the joy, satisfaction and pride that you can feel if you're stuck doing too much single tooth dentistry.
 
I know there are many patients that only need single tooth dentistry and I would never suggest treating these patients in any other way but...
 
There are many patients that have advanced tooth wear, erosion, and multiple structurally compromised teeth that DO NEED more comprehensive dentistry.
 
They just don't know where to go and who to trust.
 
If you would like to help more of these people with complex dental problems I would like to invite you to join my coaching program.
INTRODUCING OCCLUSION DESIGN 
INTRODUCING OCCLUSION DESIGN 
Occlusion Design is my flagship clinical-training and coaching program.
 
I have created and built the curriculum to teach general dentists the systems to manage more complex wear, esthetic and full mouth rehabilitation patients.
 
There is nothing else like this in dentistry because of the interactive coaching aspect of the membership. Not only do you receive a comprehensive curriculum of online video modules to teach you predictable systems to manage the more complex cases in
your dental practice, but...
 
You also will receive coaching advice from me each and every month with the monthly members coaching webinars. The really cool benefit is that you can send us the digital records of your cases and I can answer questions and help you with them during the monthly coaching webinars.
 
This makes an Occlusion Design membership very unique in dentistry so if you would like to take advantage of this offer click the ENROLL NOW button at the bottom of this page and join our Occlusion Design online community.

Guidance
Do you have questions about specific patient cases in your practice right now but you are not sure who to ask? Each and every month our Occlusion Design members webinars are dedicated to treatment planning and trouble-shooting members cases. All you have to do is send us your digital case records the week before and they will be added to presentation for us to talk about together online.

Confidence
You will have the ability to review training videos for the procedures you have planned before you have to start the treatment. Imagine having a six unit porcelain veneer case scheduled and the day before the preparations you can review the preparation, provisional and bite record techniques and videos online giving you the confidence that the everything will be perfect.

Community
You are not going to be alone anymore. Your Occlusion Design membership adds you to our online community and we get together each and every month for the members webinars where you will see new cases Dr. Phelan is treating in his practice. You will also be able to ask questions during the webinars or beneath any training video on the membership site or on the forum. 

Training
The core curriculum of Occlusion Design includes detailed step-by-step training videos which will teach you comprehensive diagnostic records, risk assessment and treatment planning for complex wear patients, core build-up techniques and rebuilding structurally compromised teeth, altering gingival levels for teeth and dental implants, preparation techniques for crowns, veneers, onlays, glove crowns, impression and provisional techniques, bite record techniques, bonding and seating techniques, and finishing and perfecting the occlusion. 

PDF documents are available with each module that you can use with the cases in your practice. These are the same documents Dr. Phelan uses in his practice with his patients. 
6 Separate Core-Training Modules
6 Separate Core-Training Modules
The first module of Occlusion Design is Comprehensive Diagnostic Records with 17 total training videos and 6 PDF downloads. The focus of this module is to teach you how to complete a functional analysis that results in 2 sets of precisely mounted diagnostic quality models that you can use for every step of your cases going forward.
 
I will teach you 3 predictable systems for taking CR bite records and how to screen out problematic TMD patients. I will also teach you how to take an acurate Facebow recording that accurately relates the maxillary cast on the articulator so that it reflects your patients actual clinical situation. 
 
Next I will teach you how to take your records and mount your cases on the articulator and how to determine if this is accurate and what to do if it is not. 
 
I will also share with you a video I filmed completing a functional analysis on a patient and the actual model analysis for a complex full mouth wear patient.
The second module of Occlusion Design is Risk Assessment with 8 total videos and 5 PDF downloads.
 
The focus of this module is to teach you my Risk Assessment Profile System and how to use it to identify the patients that are at higher risk to treat in your practice. This module will focus on the assessment of different types and severity of tooth wear. I will use numerous examples of moderate to severe tooth wear from my practice to illustrate the teaching material. 
 
Bruxism, Parafunction, Dysfunction, and other forms of tooth wear will be defined, identified and assessed for risk. I will also share with you the different types of appliances I am using in my dental practice to manage the risk associated with these different patients.
The third module of Occlusion Design is Treatment Planning For Complex Cases with 11 total videos and 2 PDF downloads including my Force Management Checklist.
 
The focus of this module is treatment planning the high-risk wear patient including options for altering the vertical dimension for patients with no room for restorative material due to severe tooth wear. 
 
I created a Force Management Checklist to help you to create an Occlusion Design that will work for wear patients even when you expect them to continue to grind their teeth after treatment.
 
A detailed evaluation for treatment planning esthetics will also be included in this module. 
The fourth module of Occlusion Design is Pretreatment Case Preparation with 11 total videos and 2 PDF downloads.

The focus for this module is rebuilding structurally compromised teeth, altering the gingival levels around teeth and dental implants and equilibration of the natural dentition.
 
I have very detailed training videos for these procedures including the equilibration for 2 different patients, post and core build-up techniques and gingival alterations filmed with my Zeiss ProErgo Microscope.
The fifth module of Occlusion Design is Preparation Techniques, Impressions and Provisional Restorations with 14 total videos and 4 PDF downloads.
 
The focus of this module is the conservative preparation of teeth using a series of very predictable systems and this module has extensive technique videos as well so you can see exactly how I am completing these essential procedures.
 
I will also share with you how I take an accurate full arch impression with all of the teeth prepared the first time. 
 
This module is completed by teaching a very predictable system to create long-term provisional restorations. This system works with full coverage and veneer restorations. I will detail the provisional cements that I use for both full coverage and veneers in both short and long term situations.
The sixth module of Occlusion Design is Preparation Bite Records, Lab Communication, Bonding Cases and Finalizing the Occlusion with 15 total videos and 8 PDF downloads.
 
This is another large and comprehensive module that leaves no stone unturned in the effort to teach you how I finish cases from a 4-unit veneer case all the way to full mouth rehabilitation.
 
I will detail all of the final cements that I use in my practice. This module has extensive digital video to demonstrate how I bond in a variety of cases including the entire full length recording for bonding and finishing a full upper arch of porcelain restorations including one dental implant.
