The Dawson Academy

YOUR ASSISTANTS ARE KEY 🔑

Case acceptance doesn’t begin with the treatment presentation.
It begins earlier, often with the dental assistant.

When assistants are trained to capture accurate records, support occlusal exams, explain procedures clearly, and reinforce patient conversations, the entire diagnostic process becomes clearer for patients.

And when patients understand the why, they move forward with treatment more confidently.

That’s why we created our Dental Assistant Elective.

In this course, assistants learn the clinical skills that support their dentists, including diagnostic records, clinical photography, face-bow transfers, model mounting, patient education, and case presentation support.

Predictable and profitable dentistry happens when the entire team understands the process.

WE’RE MOVING! 📦

BIG NEWS: In 2025, we made the decision to move from St. Petersburg to vibrant downtown Tampa.

Because our students deserve the newest classroom technology, updated facilities, and an experience that feels just as exciting outside the classroom as it does inside. Our new 14th-floor space offers breathtaking views, modern upgrades, and an environment built to enhance every course we host in Florida.

We wanted to create something truly special, and we can’t wait to welcome you into our new home.

So, what can you expect?

✅ Stunning views from classrooms and labs

✅ Improved tech, classrooms, and facility upgrades

We created a total CE experience where world-class education meets a location that feels like a getaway.

Easier travel. Enhanced facilities. More entertainment.
See you in downtown Tampa! 🥳

❌ Most dentists don’t need more proof that comprehensive, predictable dentistry works.

✅ What they do need is a team that sees what they see and can deliver it every single day.

That’s why Dr. Jake Fisher brought his team to Dawson's Team 360.

🗣️ Here's what he had to say:

“Having gone through Dawson and learning all the advanced clinical skills, it was really important to tie that in with overall practice management.”

Here’s the truth: if your team can’t connect the clinical to the schedule, the communication, and the patient journey, your practice stays siloed.

“Team 360 made it possible for my team to see and understand what I had learned clinically, and how it connects to scheduling, patient communication, and elevating the patient experience.”

🔓 That’s the unlock.

Confirmation of what you already value, translated into daily team behaviors.

And when the inevitable messiness of practice sets in?

“It really helped tie all the clinical and business stuff together. Larry Guzzardo and Rachel Karfeld, MBA were terrific, sharing tried-and-true feedback and best practices.”

If you’ve ever thought, “My outcomes could be even more consistent if my team ran the playbook with me,” you’re not alone.

The answer isn’t more chairside heroics, it’s shared understanding, repeatable protocols, and leadership your team can own.

When your team gets it, you get smoother days, a better patient experience, and the freedom to lead at a higher level.

⭐️ PS: Right now, attending teams are being outfitted with complimentary custom practice jackets (logo + name). A visible sign of unity and commitment to a better run practice.
