Remaining 2026 Sessions
Denta-epigenetics, Airway, Sleep, Nightlase, ULTRAlase and OSA/OAT 2026
One of the most critical components of dentistry is the AIRWAY. SESSION SIX consists of reviewing the anatomy and physiology of the human airway, and how we, as dentists, can intervene at different times in patients’ lives to improve their access to the one drug they cannot live without: oxygen! Arch development, orthodontic treatment and oral sleep appliance therapies are covered in depth. Laser treatment for snoring (Nightlase) is taught, and participants practice on each other. One of the highlights of this course is making (and drinking!) fresh apple cider at my home on Friday night.
Zirconia Implant Training & Regenerative Dentistry, CAD/CAM, Reconstruction 2026
November 12-14th, 2026
Learn how to keep teeth alive!
SESSION SEVEN involves everything digital: digital impressions, 3d printing, digital crown and bridge design, CAD/CAM (including systems that are FAR less expensive and more comprehensive than CEREC). Principles of restoration are taught through case studies and published articles. Participants digitally impress each other and test drive CAD/CAM systems in crown design.
NOTE: HDES7 now includes the option of SDS-specific zirconia implant training. This training has been specifically requested by Dr. Ulrich Volz in order to standardize SDS implant placement in the US. SDS-specific training happens on Thursday. The general session happens on Friday and Saturday.
Building Your Best Biological Business
November 20-21st, 2026
Join Dr. Judson Wall and Dr. Kelly Blodgett in Bountiful, Utah, for an immersive, live, in-person course designed exclusively for holistic and biological dental practitioners. Through interactive modules and hands-on workshops, you’ll refine your clinical focus, leverage personality assessments to build an aligned team, and master value-driven communication that elevates patient care. Discover Dr. Blodgett’s acclaimed New Patient Experience framework, create life-changing treatment consults, optimize scheduling for practice growth, and implement strategies tailored to integrative dentistry. By the end of this transformational event, you’ll walk away with actionable tools to strengthen team cohesion, enhance patient satisfaction, and position your practice at the forefront of holistic dental care.
2027 Sessions
Diagnostics, Administration, Consultation and Nutrition 2027
During SESSION ONE, we explore how to diagnose, treatment plan, and communicate using testing and questioning that help us understand the patient. We must first understand before we seek to be understood. Participants take each other from start to finish in a new patient exam. Each doc experiences what the patient experiences.
TMJ/Craniofacial Pain, Prolotherapy and PBM 2027
SESSION TWO involves reviewing anatomy and physiology so we can understand the WHY of session one. Craniofacial pain and dysfunction diagnoses and treatments are covered in depth. How to take and read a CBCT image is taught and practiced. Participants learn and practice injection techniques to relieve pain and help patients HEAL. Participants design and fabricate orthotic and nighttime appliances for each other. A dozen other treatment modalities to relieve pain and dysfunction are taught and practiced.
Cavitations, Root Canal Extractions and Zirconia Implants 2027
One of the most common causes of chronic disease, pain and suffering is dead teeth. SESSION THREE explores the literature behind diagnosis and treatment of oral infection, ischemic bone disease (aka cavitation) and toxic titanium alloy implants. Live patient surgery augments the experience, showing docs that complications are not unique to them! Zirconia implant use is also covered in depth, as multiple ceramic implant systems are explored and placed in live surgery. Participants can handle and experience different makes and models of ceramic implants. Case studies amplify what is discussed in lecture and seen in surgery.
NOTE: HDES3 now includes the option of SDS-specific zirconia implant training. This training has been specifically requested by Dr. Ulrich Volz in order to standardize SDS implant placement in the US. SDS-specific training happens on Thursday. The general session happens on Friday and Saturday.
Lasers in Dental Medicine and Facial Esthetics 2027
SESSION FOUR is the most extensive HANDS-ON laser course that I have yet to see. From caries to biostim to snoring treatment, the Fotona laser can do it ALL! After a brief, but adequate, review of laser physics, every aspect of laser dentistry is explained and demonstrated in depth. “See one, do one, teach one” is the mantra of session four. Alumni are invited to return to present a case study, highlighting things they learned that have helped patients to heal.
Ozone and PRF in Dental Medicine 2027
SESSION FIVE covers everything OZONE. Ozone is likely the MOST beneficial treatment modality in dentistry! Anatomy and physiology are reviewed. Injection techniques are reviewed and practiced. Many simple therapies are taught and practiced that can be used “Monday morning.” Promolife ozone machine setup and use are covered.
PRF will also be covered in depth, from procurement to delivery. PRF and ozone in prolotherapy will be taught and practiced.
Denta-epigenetics, Airway, Sleep, Nightlase, ULTRAlase and OSA/OAT 2027
One of the most critical components of dentistry is the AIRWAY. SESSION SIX consists of reviewing the anatomy and physiology of the human airway, and how we, as dentists, can intervene at different times in patients’ lives to improve their access to the one drug they cannot live without: oxygen!
