Patients are restored by having their mouths rejuvenated from hinge axis-mounted diagnostic wax ups to within 10 microns of accuracy. Attendees build communication skills as study models and photos are shared for discussion, and gain confidence in diagnosing occlusal, TMJ, and myofascial pain issues. During the program, invited guest instructors offer informative sessions on physical therapy, orthodontics, and airway management.” Rejuvenating Dental Practices The Center’s residency program is breathing new life into dentists and their practices. Dr. Stewart explains, “Many of the dentists who have come to the residency program have been through other training programs, but tell us that they are still looking for that ‘missing piece’ that will allow them to practice dentistry the way they’ve always imagined. Some of them are seeking a way to diversify treatment and find renewed enjoyment and satisfaction in their profession. Many of them tell us that they are looking for a way to free their practices from the insurance stranglehold. While an in-depth residency program is not for everyone, the unique instructional focus provides a path to life-changing dentistry for patients, dentists and staff. The Texas Center’s unique approach to dentistry helps doctors become ‘physicians of the mouth’.” Dr. Herre makes this observation: “The residency program requires a financial investment in the future and a substantial commitment of time, but for the right person, it opens a new world. It enables them to change their patients’ lives in a way never before possible. It enables them to access a new income stream with their existing patients and recession-proof an established practice. The program is geared towards dentists who want to take a big step, slow down and change the way they practice dentistry day to day.” 10 NORTH TEXAS DENTISTRY | www.northtexasdentistry.com The Center’s intimate learning environment fosters one-on-one interaction between students and instructors.
