Digitally Driven Restorative Excellence
A One-Year Mini-Residency

March 27, May 29 & October 30, 2026 | RICHMOND, VA

Design Excellence. Deliver Predictability. 

Digitally Driven Restorative Excellence is a one-year mini-residency for doctors who want a repeatable, digital-first system to diagnose, plan, and deliver complex restorative care—where esthetics, occlusion, and biology work together, not against each other. This is not a technique course; it is a thinking course that drives execution.

Across three immersive in-person sessions, you will move intentionally from how to think to how to design, execute, and adapt—so excellence becomes predictable rather than accidental. Anchored in comprehensive treatment planning and a structured 2D → 3D → operatory workflow, this program replaces variability with clarity and guesswork with systems you can trust. Enrollment is limited to 24 participants to ensure focused interaction and real-world implementation.
