Philosophy

Dentistry can be a very exciting profession. What makes it stressful is unpredictability. We cannot control labs, biology, chaos in the operatory or in the clinic.

We can control ourselves and our confidence to do the right thing. To make the right decision. To treat our patients as we would ourselves and our families knowing what we know. That is what we are teaching. To know what you know, and to be confident with every decision.

It starts with diagnosis and “correct” treatment planning, specific to every patient. The minutia that we deal with everyday can give major and amazing results if we are treating in the right direction.

Occlusion philosophy can be a wide array of thoughts, concepts, rules, dogmas and perpetual analysis. Applying it to clinical practice is where reality meets the patient.

We are teaching this confidence with repetition of sound principles true and tested for over 60 years with over 25 faculty during the course of all of our careers.

Step into the dental world of success, confidence and the New Age of Occlusion.

Testimonials

It was our pleasure and honor to be part of the amazing event. I also have learned much from it and enjoyed entirely. Your vision, passion, and energy inspired me so much. I’ll always do my best to be able to give FMR programs the best supports.

We’d be proud to support the future FMR event. Again thank you for having us as part of the amazing team.

If occlusion is something you struggle with on a daily basis, this course is for you. Course is concise, accurate, easy to understand and gives you enough understanding to do your cases confidently, whether restoring single tooth or full mouth.

The faculty is experienced and very well knowledgable on all topics presented. The course will give you inspiration and excite you to tackle more difficult cases at your office with ease. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!

I want to thank you for opening me up to the FMR, four day course. I enjoyed it so much and picked up so many ideas and knowledge.

When we have been practicing dentistry for a long time, most dentists resist trying to better their skills and knowledge. We all need to advance ourselves no matter what stage of our careers we may be at. As well as accept that we should never stop learning. Your FMR course, the staff,and your leadership is a breath of fresh air that motivates all that attend. Thanks again !!!
