They have challenged us, learned from each other, and I know will continue to go forward and provide exceptional dentistry.”
The Spear Core Workshop Curriculum path is designed to help individuals master everything from confidently treatment planning complex cases and restoring a patient's bite to the proper technique to use to diagnose and treat worn dentition. Conducted over two or three-day sessions at Spear's campus in Scottsdale, Arizona, it combines in-person lectures and hands-on training. This unique format allows participants to integrate the curriculum seamlessly into their busy schedules, with multiple sessions available throughout the year.
