Clinical Growth & Education

Advance Your Skills. Expand Your Impact.

Most dental education leaves you with more slides, not more confidence. DDS Academy is different. The DDS Academy’s hands-on clinical education programs are built by practicing clinicians who recognize the difference between "learning it" and "doing it chairside."

With over 15 mastery-driven courses, guided progression, and real expert mentorship, this isn't just CE. It’s a complete system that builds lasting clinical confidence, expands what you can offer patients, and earns you credit hours along the way.

Your Clinical Trajectory

A path, not just a calendar

This isn't a list of courses to check off. It's a clinical growth trajectory. Start with the fundamentals, and expand into Clear Aligners, endo, and implants with mentors in your corner. Climb toward Super GP and become the doctor other doctors turn to.

Tier 1

Core Fundamentals

Every high-performing GP starts here. No matter what specialty you eventually chase, it's built on these foundations: business, extractions, occlusion, and the systems that keep a practice running like clockwork.

Courses: Business of Dentistry, Extraction, Practice Optimization, Restorative & Occlusion
Tier 2

Expanding Clinical Growth

This is where you stop referring out and start taking on. With expert mentors in your corner, expand into Clear Aligners, endodontics, and implants, and watch your case acceptance grow with your skill set.

Courses: Clear Aligner 1, Endo 1 & 2, Implant 1, Cosmetic, Removable Prosthetics, Digital Dentistry
Tier 3

Mastery — Super GP

Lead, don't just learn. Master full-arch implants, bone grafting, retreatments, and advanced aligner cases, then start mentoring the doctors coming up behind you.

Courses: Implant 2 — Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts, Implant 3 — Full Arch, Clear Aligner 2, Clear Aligner 3, Endo 3 — Retreatments

– Dr. David Rosenthal
