What Our Dentists are saying:
Dr. Joshua Chupp
“Dr. Dahan has taken his lessons as a premier tmj clinic and is able to share them in a clear and simple way with you and your team through group and one on one coaching. He takes a complex topic and makes it easy to follow. Also shows how to grow and maintain a sleep and tmj practice.”
Dr. Duane Delaune
“Dr. Dahan’s mentorship program offers a comprehensive approach to incorporating two intricate aspects of dental practice, TMD and dental sleep apnea therapy. By breaking down every aspect from marketing strategies to diagnosis procedures, treatment plans, fee structuring, and post-treatment follow-up, Dr Dahan has streamlined the entire process. Essentially, his program serves as a ready-to-implement, all inclusive system for seamlessly integrating TMD and dental sleep apnea therapy into our practice.”
Dr. Priyanka Kataria
“Dr Dahan has demystified TMJ and Sleep Apnea. He has simplified the diagnosis and treatment. His protocols make it easy for the doctor and the team to immediately start implementing the knowledge in your practice. He has been gracious enough to share every single document including consent forms, financial forms, brochures, instructions for patients, the complete work flow. This has probably saved me years because it takes a lot of effort, time and a lot of trial and error to develop all this from scratch. There are ce courses available on these topics, but most dentists never end up implementing their knowledge because nobody hands over the blueprint for implementation. Nobody else has their team train your team. My team is so excited after his presentation. I have rarely seen them so excited about a new treatment before. I couldn’t be more grateful to Dr Dahan for selflessly sharing everything he has so painstakingly created over the last 12 years.”
Dr. Todd Donnelly
“Dr Dahan’s course has provided me the confidence that I can forge a new path within my practice by providing high quality treatment, service and care for many people suffering from TMD and DSM problems.
Dr Dahan and his team coaches both the doctors and their teams separately (and together at times) to ensure a multi-pronged communication approach is used in all areas of the clinic to find and get the word out to prospective clients.
Moreover, Dr Dahan simplifies the diagnostic process by utilizing a step by step system he provides us, backs it up with his checklists and consent forms, provides valuable insight from his own experience in private practice, and opens his private practice to mentor his students one on one with over the shoulder shadowing to watch this all unfold on a day to day basis.
This ensures coaching, integration, and ultimate success is achieved by transforming us and our teams confidently into this fun area of dental practice.”
