As of Monday, we are now open for business in our new downtown dental practice in Denver.

Although not entirely complete we are able to see patients and conduct business. It is going to be a wonderful place to work.

Also, our education facility is nearly completed. Looking forward to start booking some educational events here in the near future. Currently in discussions with the Tulsa Implant folks and the Cadent iTero sales team to begin to host some programs for them.

Looking forward to getting that aspect of our facility going as well. Continue to follow this blog for more information regarding dental education and/or go to the schedule section of www.garyradz.com for a complete listing of our in office programs as well.

Colorado Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry

In September we had the first organizational meeting of the Colorado Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. This group is an affilate of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (www.aacd.com) . I look forward to having a local group of like minded dentists to share ideas.

This group also will help to provide a venue to bring to Colorado esthetically focused continuing education. I accepted the job as CE chairman for our new organization. Having served in the past and currently in a similar capacity within our parent organization I hope to use that experience to bring in some excellent speakers.

Our first program will be on Feb. 6th, 2009 at the CDA/MDDS building. We will have 2 great speakers at this program. First will be Dr. Hugh Flax from Atlanta. Hugh is currently the AACD vice-president and will assume the presidency in two years. Hugh also founded the Georgia AACD affilate, so he will be a great source of information for our membership as to how to fully utilize our new organization. Additionally, Hugh as a wealth of knowledge in the area of laser usage in cosmetic dentistry and will be doing a presentation on this subject as well. Our second speaker is local prosthodontist Dr. Aldo Leopardi. Aldo was one of the highest rated speakers at the last AACD national meeting! He’ll be presenting his anterior implant lecture, which is an excellent program for any cosmetic dentists to learn more.

Anyone interested can contact me directly at radzdds@aol.com .

I look forward to learning more locally and to the challenge of bringing to Colorado cosmetic dentists great speakers.

New Teaching Concepts with Heraeus

December 13, 2008

Filed under: lectures — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 11:21 pm

Last Monday I spent the day at the South Bend offices of Heraeus.

We discussed their ideas of improving the level of continuing education to several of us who travel extensively teaching.

The idea is to bring effective teaching ideas to dentists.

Heraeus is making efforts to create an esthetically focused line of materials that you may have seen marketed under the “Venus” brand.

Venus can refer to their porcelain and/or composite materials. Both materials have excellent physical properties and are highly esthetic. The teaching concept is to teach dentists great materials with predicatable techniques.

I envision this to be an excellent program to help dentists improve their final results in direct bonding, porcelain veneers, and posterior esthetics. I’m looking forward to working with Heraeus to help other dentists improve their cosmetic dentistry.

American Dental Association Meeting ’08

I just returned from the ADA meeting in Texas. I was impressed with the attendance in an down economic enviroment.

I was down there to interact with my manufacture friends seeing what is new in the dental world. A couple of things stood out.

1. Pelton Crane has developed a new LED based operatory light. Really cool…lots of new and interesting features.

2. Vident’s new cordless EasyShade. Easier to use and very accurate.

3. Denmat’s purchase of GlamSmile. GlamSmile has a unique delivery system that may make delivery easier. I have not tried it yet….but sure looks interesting. Not clear how this will integrate with Lumineers

4. Kavo continues to perfect the electric handpiece….also their new diode laser has every cool feature on it that you could want.

5. Went by the Danville Engineering booth and was reintroduced to air abrasion with the new PrepStart system. They have integrated water into their system to reduce the “dust” associated with intraoral air abrasion. Interesting. I did alot of air abrasion preps in the 90’s…..this could make me think about returning to this concept.
