We are thrilled to announce our next New Dentist Study Club meeting set for Tuesday, January 13th, at 6:30 PM. Dr. Sarah Parker Allen, prosthodontist, will be presenting “Diagnosis and Treatment Planning for the Partially Edentulous Patient: From Clinical Assessment to Predictable Outcomes”

The management of partially edentulous patients requires a thorough understanding of both the biological and mechanical factors that influence long-term success. This presentation will guide clinicians through a structured approach to diagnosis and treatment planning, emphasizing the integration of clinical examination, radiographic assessment, occlusal analysis, and patient-centered considerations. Attendees will learn how to identify key diagnostic parameters that determine the suitability of different prosthetic options—removable, fixed, or implant-supported—and how to design comprehensive treatment plans that balance function, esthetics, and patient expectations. Real-world clinical cases will be used to illustrate decision-making principles, common pitfalls, and strategies for achieving predictable, long-lasting restorations.

New dentists are considered those who have graduated from dental school less than ten years ago. This is an exciting event for us to allow fellow new dentists in the north Texas area to connect with others, create that network of support, and to continue learning with CE!

Attendance will be limited so RSVPs are required.
Sign up is available on our website. Dinner will be provided.
