BECOMING AN EXCEPTIONAL DENTIST
In today’s environment, it is essential for dentists to be proficient in the latest clinical skills as well as be comprehensive in treatment planning. In private practice, however, this may not be enough. To acquire business success one needs leadership, good communication and a sound mindset.
In this 12-week high-end program with over 60hrs of content and training (30 hours of CE clinical training), you will learn to comprehensively treatment plan and successfully communicate cases not only to patients but also to the team. Moreover, we will learn the business mindset that encourages growth and success in a competitive private dental practice. We will also highlight the need for KPI’s to keep staff focused and on track.
This unique program developed by Momentum and Dental ED brings high-end clinical training taught by world experts, treatment planning, case presentation, business mindset, leadership and communication all into one intensive highly sought-after program.

Presenters: Dr Toni Surace and Mr Emanuel Recupero
Dr. Toni Surace graduated from Melbourne University in 1995 as a dentist. She took her practice through the Momentum Management Program in 2008 and loved what it did for her team and her practice growth so much that she bought the company! Toni has owned Momentum since 2012 and has developed and grown the content to work in dental practices today. She has used her further studies in Digital Marketing, Positive Psychology and Emotional Intelligence to expand the curriculum and to give practices the knowledge they need to thrive in the dental profession today.
Emanuel Recupero is a well-known innovator and provider of dental education. He used his extensive marketing experience to create an internationally recognised brand: Dental ED. He has seen many practices and met thousands of dentists from around the world, and he realised that they all share the same concerns with the economic changes and powerful corporate organisations monopolising the dental industry. In response to that, he has developed unique tools to attract more patients, increase productivity, and keep practices competitive and prospering in the new competitive age.
