Seminar Description
45 Credits Over Three Weekends!
Session 1: Jan. 22-23
Session 2: Mar. 5-6
Session 3: Apr. 2-3
In conjunction with BenPat Institute, we are pleased to offer this Three Weekend Didactic & Hands-On Course!
The Patients You're Missing Are Already Sitting in Your Chair
Every day, patients walk into dental offices suffering from facial pain, headaches, jaw dysfunction, poor sleep, chronic fatigue, bruxism, and airway-related problems. Many have seen multiple healthcare providers and still have no answers. They are looking for someone who can connect the dots.
Will that dentist be you?
Our exclusive three-session Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine Mini-Residency is designed for dentists who want to move beyond traditional dentistry and become the clinician patients trust when the diagnosis is not obvious, and the solution is not found on a radiograph.
This is more than a continuing education course. It is a practical, evidence-based clinical training experience designed to transform the way you evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients.
Learn What Dental School Never Taught You
Most dentists were never formally trained to evaluate headaches, facial pain, temporomandibular disorders, neuropathic pain, sleep-disordered breathing, airway dysfunction, or the many conditions that mimic tooth pain.
In this mini-residency, you will develop a systematic approach to history taking, examination, diagnosis, and treatment planning that will allow you to confidently identify the true source of a patient's symptoms.
You will learn how to:
• Distinguish tooth pain from musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and headache disorders
• Identify patients with sleep-disordered breathing and airway dysfunction
• Perform comprehensive examinations for sleep and pain
• Develop meaningful differential diagnoses
• Determine when imaging, testing, treatment, or referral is appropriate
• Build practical treatment plans based on current scientific evidence
• Manage patients with sleep-disordered breathing
Most importantly, you will learn how to think through complex cases with confidence.
Hands-On Training You Can Use on Monday Morning
Learning should not stop with lectures.
This immersive program provides extensive hands-on clinical experience so you leave with practical skills you can immediately implement in your practice.
Participants will learn and perform:
• Trigger point injections
• Diagnostic nerve blocks
• Botox therapy for myofascial pain and parafunctional disorders
• Fabrication of temporary TMJ appliances
• Delivery and adjustment of custom TMJ orthotics
• Delivery of oral appliance therapy for sleep-disordered breathing
• Clinical examination techniques for pain and sleep patients
You will not simply watch demonstrations—you will perform procedures, gain real experience, and build confidence under expert supervision.
Real Cases. Real Patients. Real Solutions.
Every session incorporates actual patient cases commonly encountered in general dental practice.
You will learn how experienced clinicians approach difficult diagnoses, treatment decisions, patient communication, and interdisciplinary management. These are the patients that challenge most dentists and often become missed opportunities for practice growth and patient impact.
Elevate Your Practice. Change Lives.
The future of dentistry extends far beyond fillings, crowns, and extractions.
Patients are increasingly seeking providers who understand the relationship between pain, sleep, airway health, and overall wellness. Dentists are uniquely positioned to identify and manage these conditions, yet few have received the training necessary to do so confidently.
By integrating Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine into your practice, you can:
• Improve patient outcomes
• Differentiate your practice from competitors
• Expand your clinical expertise
• Increase professional satisfaction
• Create new treatment opportunities
• Become a valued member of interdisciplinary healthcare teams
Most importantly, you can help patients who have often been searching for answers for years.
The patients are already in your practice.
The question is whether you have the training to help them.
Join us for this transformative hands-on mini-residency and discover how Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine can change the way you practice dentistry forever.
Why Bring Your Entire Team?
Building a successful Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine practice requires more than the dentist's clinical expertise—it requires an educated, engaged, and confident team. Your front office is often the first point of contact for patients seeking answers to chronic pain, jaw problems, headaches, or sleep-related concerns. During this program, they will learn how to communicate the value of your services, answer common patient questions, schedule the appropriate appointments, and guide patients through the treatment process with confidence and compassion. Your clinical assistants will gain a deeper understanding of patient evaluations, examination protocols, injections, Botox procedures, appliance fabrication, delivery appointments, and follow-up care. They will learn the clinical workflow, instrumentation, materials, and patient education necessary to support efficient, high-quality treatment. When your entire team understands the "why" behind every step and speaks the same language, patients experience greater confidence, treatment acceptance improves, appointments run more efficiently, and your practice is positioned for long-term success. The most successful Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine practices are built by well-trained teams—not just exceptional dentists.
