💫 GDE Members & Guests: Join Us Tomorrow!

Dr. Bill Robbins pauses his world tour to dive into a topic we’ve all wrestled with at some point in our careers:

“Why Is The Tissue Red Around My Crown?”

The concept of Biologic Width has been discussed and debated for decades, yet there’s still plenty of confusion around how it impacts our clinical outcomes. Why do different patients’ tissues respond differently to similar treatments? And how close is 2.04mm to reality?

Bill will break down the science and help us develop a more biologically based approach to managing the perio-restorative interface.

Topics include:
• Predictable crown margin placement
• Why gingival tissues respond differently around crowns
• The 4 different categories of biologic width

Come ready for a great discussion, practical insights, and a little clarification around the science behind what we see clinically.

GDE members — bring a guest and join us tomorrow! We’d love to see you there!

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Ashley Hoders tomorrow evening for a landmark presentation on Phenotype-Driven Treatment Planning (PDTP) for the Interdisciplinary Patient.

Dr. Hoders brings an extraordinary combination of expertise in Periodontics and Prosthodontics, along with a passion for advancing interdisciplinary care. Her presentation will offer a fresh perspective on periodontal phenotype, gingival recession, and how PDTP can transform diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient management.

Join us as we explore how these concepts can be applied to elevate our teams, our practices, and—most importantly—the care we provide our patients.

🌟 And this is just the beginning! We have an exciting lineup of guest speakers coming to our community, bringing some of the best and brightest voices in dentistry to our collective learning.

Don’t miss tomorrow evening with Dr. Ashley Hoders! Invite your GDE members, colleagues, and guests and come be part of an incredible evening of learning, connection, and inspiration.

Join us tomorrow for an outstanding evening of education with Dr. Ray Caesar, a world-class orthodontist and leader in airway-centered orthodontics.

Evaluating the Class II and Class III Patient will explore the diagnosis and treatment of skeletal and dental Class II and III cases, including growth modification, MARPE, non-surgical, and surgical treatment options for both children and adults.

This is a valuable opportunity to learn from one of the industry's leading experts and elevate your clinical approach.

GDE Members, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

One hundred clinicians. Two days of learning. Countless conversations that will shape the way we care for patients.

This year’s focus was the growth and development of the human face from birth through adulthood, exploring both the functional and aesthetic factors that influence treatment and long-term outcomes. It was an outstanding reminder that great dentistry is built on lifelong learning, thoughtful collaboration, and a willingness to challenge our perspectives.

Grateful for everyone who shared their knowledge, experience, and friendship. Already looking forward to the next one!

Explore how esthetic dentistry and facial plastic surgery work together to create exceptional, long-term patient outcomes through real case studies and treatment sequencing.

📅 Wednesday, July 8 | 🕖 7:00 PM CDT

GDE Members and guests are welcome! Invite a colleague and don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of dentistry’s leading educators. We look forward to seeing you there!

Reminiscing on the GDE Joint Based Occlusion Workshop earlier this month! Great learning, even better people, and plenty of laughs in between.

Big shoutout to Bayview Dental Laboratories and the Mid Atlantic Center for Advanced Dental Studies for the amazing hospitality—y’all made it feel like a mix of education and a really good time with friends. Can’t wait for the next one!

🌟 Join Us Tonight at GDE! 🌟

We’re excited to welcome a new presenter to the GDE family, Dr. Babak Najafi, for an engaging and clinically focused presentation:

🦷 Clinical Decision-Making in Smile Design: When to Consider Lip Repositioning

Excessive Gingival Display (EGD) can present unique diagnostic and treatment challenges. Dr. Najafi will share a comprehensive clinical decision-making process—from diagnosis through treatment planning—while showcasing real-world cases and the modified lip repositioning approach.

What you'll learn:
✔️ Personalized smile design from restorative, periodontal, orthodontic, and surgical perspectives
✔️ A practical decision tree using the Global Diagnosis system for managing excessive gingival display
✔️ Minimally invasive periodontal techniques, including modified lip repositioning, for smile transformation

Whether you're a GDE member or a guest interested in expanding your knowledge of smile design and interdisciplinary treatment planning, this is a presentation you won't want to miss.

📍 Join us this evening!
👥 Guests are welcome!

We look forward to seeing you there for an evening of learning, discussion, and connection.

GDE members + guests are invited.
See you tomorrow!

GDE members and guests—you won’t want to miss this!🦷 💫

Just when the “5 Questions” became second nature, we added one more.

The 6th Question is here—and it’s changing how we think about maxillary diagnosis by expanding into A/P and transverse dimensions, with airway in mind.

Join us this Wednesday as we break it down and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in diagnosis and patient care.

See you on Wednesday!🌟

A friend to many and a true thought leader, Dr. Jeff Rouse continues to challenge how we think about dentistry 🦷—and this presentation is no exception.

GDE Members and guests join us this Wednesday!

We’ve all been taught to view tooth wear through a mechanical lens—attrition, abrasion, erosion. But what if the real driver is biological?

In this session, Jeff will break down traditional theories and introduce a powerful new perspective rooted in airway and breathing physiology. You’ll walk away with:

• A clearer way to diagnose patterns of tooth wear 🔍
• A deeper understanding of the biological “why” behind them
• Practical solutions that improve both patient health and dentition

This is one you don’t want to miss
