Live Dental CE Opportunities This Week
Here are the live dental CE webinars happening May 11–17, 2026.
Universal Composites: Predictable, Profitable, and Practice-Ready Restorations
Date: Monday, May 11, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar

Presenter: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Sponsor: VOCO America
Composite dentistry has come a long way, but many clinicians still face challenges with consistency, efficiency, material selection, and long-term restorative outcomes.
This live dental CE webinar focuses on a simplified universal composite workflow designed for everyday restorative dentistry. Attendees will learn how modern composite systems can help reduce complexity while still supporting strong esthetic results in both anterior and posterior cases.
The course will cover practical techniques for shade selection, opacity choices, layering strategies, handling characteristics, polishing protocols, and predictable placement. The goal is to help clinicians improve restoration longevity and patient satisfaction without adding unnecessary chair time.
What you’ll learn:
- How to define the properties of a universal composite
- How modern universal composites differ from traditional composite systems
- How to simplify shade and opacity selection for more efficient workflows
- Techniques for improving esthetic outcomes in everyday restorative cases
- Predictable placement and shaping strategies for anterior and posterior restorations
- Polishing protocols that support long-term clinical results
This course is ideal for dentists looking to streamline composite workflows while improving predictability, efficiency, and restorative confidence.
Simplified Resin Techniques
Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar

Presenter: Dr. Priya Tirumalasetty
Sponsor: VOCO America
Simplified resin systems are becoming increasingly popular in restorative dentistry because they can reduce inventory, simplify shade matching, and improve efficiency in daily practice.
This CE webinar explores how simplified resin systems compare with traditional resin materials and how clinicians can use them to create natural-looking restorations with fewer materials. The course will also cover layering and polishing techniques that help clinicians achieve smooth, esthetic, and predictable outcomes.
Through clinical case examples, attendees will see how simplified resins can be incorporated into real restorative workflows without sacrificing quality or appearance.
What you’ll learn:
- Key differences between simplified and traditional resin systems
- How simplified resins can reduce inventory and streamline material selection
- Layering techniques for natural-looking restorations
- Polishing strategies for smooth and esthetic results
- Clinical case applications using simplified resin systems
This course is ideal for dentists who want to simplify their restorative armamentarium while maintaining strong esthetic results.
Early Intervention, Greater Production: A Modern Strategy for Team Buy-In and Growth
Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar

Presenter: Dr. Geoff Jackson
Sponsor: vVardis
Modern dentistry is moving beyond passive monitoring and toward earlier, more proactive intervention. This CE webinar focuses on how identifying and treating early enamel lesions before cavitation can improve patient outcomes while also supporting measurable practice growth.
Attendees will learn how advanced diagnostic technologies can help clinicians detect early-stage enamel lesions and implement non-invasive treatment protocols. The course also explores guided hydroxyapatite generation as a conservative alternative to traditional restorative approaches.
Beyond the clinical side, this webinar highlights the importance of team buy-in. From hygienists to front office team members, every part of the dental team plays a role in communicating the value of early intervention and helping patients understand the benefits of proactive care.
What you’ll learn:
- How to identify early-stage enamel lesions using modern diagnostic technologies
- How to shift from passive monitoring to non-invasive early intervention
- Clinical protocols that support guided hydroxyapatite generation
- How early intervention can preserve tooth structure
- Strategies for improving team alignment and patient communication
- How to increase case acceptance through better patient education
- Ways early intervention can support production growth and practice performance
This course is ideal for dentists, hygienists, and practice teams interested in preventive dentistry, non-invasive treatment options, and stronger case acceptance.
Treating Tethered Oral Tissues: Laser Frenectomy Solutions for Pediatric Patients
Date: Thursday, May 14, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 CEU
Presenter: Dr. Jared Poplin
Sponsor: Convergent Dental
Tethered oral tissues, including tongue-ties and lip-ties, can affect breastfeeding, speech development, oral function, spacing, and overall pediatric oral health. Early diagnosis and treatment planning can make a meaningful difference for children and families.
This live dental CE webinar examines the clinical management of tethered oral tissues in pediatric patients, with a focus on laser-assisted frenectomy procedures. Dr. Jared Poplin will review oral anatomy, diagnostic considerations, treatment planning, post-operative care, and clinical techniques for lingual and labial frenectomies.
The course will also highlight the use of the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser, including its ability to support precise soft-tissue treatment with minimal bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and rapid healing.
What you’ll learn:
- Oral anatomy and diagnostic considerations for pediatric frenectomies
- Treatment planning protocols for tongue-ties and lip-ties
- Post-operative care considerations for pediatric frenectomy patients
- Clinical techniques for lingual and labial frenectomies
- How tethered oral tissues may relate to breastfeeding, maxillary spacing, and speech development
- The clinical rationale for laser-assisted frenectomy treatment
- Scientific principles behind the 9.3-micron CO2 laser for efficient soft-tissue procedures
This course is ideal for pediatric dentists, general dentists, and clinicians interested in laser dentistry, soft-tissue procedures, and early intervention for tethered oral tissues.
