Course Overview

Treatment Planning With Confidence is the first course in the Spear Education Core Curriculum. This in-person, three-day hands-on workshop is designed for dental professionals ready to go beyond single-tooth dentistry and start developing comprehensive, interdisciplinary treatment plans using the Facially Generated Treatment Planning (FGTP) protocol.

The course equips dentists to confidently identify issues, visualize ideal outcomes, and systematically plan and present treatment for patients with varying levels of complexity. With a heavy emphasis on real-world exercises, this workshop enhances both clinical knowledge and case acceptance strategies.
