Explore surgical and prosthetic integration, systemic factors affecting bone health, restorative longevity, maxillary sinus pathology and advanced surgical frontiers—all through the lens of better clinical decision-making and patient care.
One day. Five expert perspectives. A broader view of implant dentistry.

Meet Your Mentor
Dr. Paul Homoly
Dr. Paul Homoly, DDS, CSP is one of dentistry's most respected authorities on case acceptance, patient communication, and practice growth. After 20 years in private practice focused on implant and restorative dentistry, he transitioned to full-time education and coaching, helping thousands of dentists and dental teams improve treatment acceptance while delivering a better patient experience.
As President of Homoly Communications, Dr. Homoly has lectured internationally for more than three decades and is the author of several bestselling books, including Making It Easy for Patients to Say "YES!" and Case Acceptance for Everyday Dentistry. He is also the first dentist to earn the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association—the organization's highest earned speaking credential.

Course Overview
Presenting comprehensive treatment is about far more than discussing procedures and fees—it's about helping patients clearly understand their condition, recognize the value of treatment, and feel confident moving forward.
In this engaging 1.5-day workshop, internationally recognized educator Dr. Paul Homoly shares a proven, patient-centered approach to case acceptance that has helped thousands of dental professionals improve communication, strengthen patient trust, and increase acceptance of high-value treatment plans. Through practical instruction, real-world examples, and interactive exercises, you'll learn strategies that can be implemented immediately to create a more predictable and successful treatment acceptance process.
Whether you're a general dentist, specialist, treatment coordinator, or practice leader, you'll leave with practical tools to enhance the patient experience while helping more patients receive the care they need.
Exclusive Registration Bonus:
AI Accelerator Coach™
Included immediately upon registration and continuing through one month after the workshop (a $249 USD/month value).
The AI Accelerator Coach helps you implement what you learn before, during, and after the November workshop.
Available right after you register, the AI Coach becomes your private 24/7 communication coach. Practice realistic patient conversations—including new patient interviews, post-exam discussions, case presentations, financial conversations, informed consent, scheduling, and hygiene dialogues—whenever it's convenient. The AI responds like a real patient, then provides immediate feedback on your tone, empathy, clarity, pacing, leadership, and overall effectiveness.
Unlike generic AI tools, the AI Accelerator Coach is trained exclusively on Dr. Paul Homoly's proven communication framework, refined over more than 30 years of helping dentists improve treatment acceptance. It isn't designed to teach sales techniques or pressure patients—it teaches you how to build trust, communicate the value of comprehensive care, and help patients confidently choose the treatment they genuinely need.
Think of it as a flight simulator for patient conversations. You can rehearse challenging discussions as many times as you'd like in a judgment-free environment before having them with real patients. By the time you attend the workshop, you'll already be familiar with the framework. Afterward, you'll continue refining your communication for another month, ensuring the concepts become lasting habits rather than notes left in a binder.
This is one of the most compelling aspects of the program: implementation. Instead of simply learning what to say, you'll repeatedly practice how to say it until confident, patient-centered communication becomes second nature.
