Spear Education

"I’ll think about it.” 😬

Every dentist knows that moment. And it’s rarely about the diagnosis.

Patients hesitate when something doesn’t feel clear, relevant, or trustworthy, and that’s actually good news, because those things are fixable with better communication.

Here's a breakdown of the 3 keys to improving dental case acceptance, straight from the latest Spear Digest article.

💡 Spoiler: It starts way before the treatment conversation.

Dr. Diane Shieh's Study Club has been meeting for over 14 years with 25 members. Every month, they bring real cases, hear different perspectives, and leave with something that actually changes how they practice.

That's the difference peer learning makes.

There are over 600+ Spear Study Clubs across the country, and one of them was made for how you practice.

Find your study club: https://hubs.li/Q04m5dB30

Tag a dentist who shows up to study club with a full printed case presentation when everyone else brought a phone photo.

When you’re sitting in front of a new case, the pressure isn’t just how to prep. It’s deciding which material will last, how occlusion will hold up over time, and whether your sequencing truly supports long-term success.

Practice Realities focuses on the decision-making system behind those moments.

Join Dr. Gregg Kinzer for a one-day, outcomes-focused seminar where he shares the exact treatment planning frameworks, material protocols, and occlusal decision systems he uses in his own practice to deliver predictable esthetic and functional results.

The relationships we build throughout our careers often become some of the most meaningful—and impactful.

One of dentistry's toughest case types. One room full of clinicians ready to master it.

Treating the Worn Dentition, led by Dr. Gregg Kinzer, gave attendees a clear, practical framework for diagnosing wear and planning treatment they could bring back and use on Monday.

So great having Dr. Jeff Bonk and his study club in the room too. The best learning happens together. 🤝

When was the last time you dissected a case that kept you up at night or got great advice about how to handle a difficult team member?

We've made it easier to find your people by starting or joining a Study Club so you can connect with other dentists and grow together.

Whether you meet in person or virtually, the goal is the same: learn together, grow your network, sharpen your skills, and discuss what works in everyday practice.

Spear Study Club is now included in Spear Practice Membership, making it easier to connect your learning, team training, and your practice growth in one platform.
