Your Instructors
Two AACD Accredited Fellows in one Clearwater practice — among roughly 88 in the world. Dr. Strupp is a founding member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and one of the first Fellows in the academy. The same dentists you'll spend two days with in February.
Plus our master ceramist, Jim Free — second in the world at the Dental Technicians Guild (DTG) competition — works alongside the doctors on every case you'll see in the seminar.
See It For Yourself
Two days, hundreds of dentists, and the protocols you'll be using on real patients the week you get back.
On Monday Morning, You Will:
This is not a theory course. Every protocol on the agenda is one you'll execute on real patients the week you get back.
Who This Course Is For
Whether you are 1 year out of dental school or 35 years into practice, this seminar gives you a unified, repeatable approach to the cases that currently make you anxious — the full-mouth restoration, the failing dentition, the cosmetic veneer case where shade and prep design have never quite clicked.
Dentists fly in from across the United States — and from more than a dozen countries — for two days that change the way they practice.
Where you are right now
1–5 years out
Dental school taught you to pass boards — not to plan a twelve-veneer case in your third year of practice. You leave Clearwater with the protocols Drs. Strupp and Brumm built over five decades, so the cases you take in year three look the way you'll want them to look in year thirty.
5–10 years out
Cosmetic and full-mouth cases are showing up in your operatory. You can do them — but you're still asking the lab to bail you out, still losing sleep before delivery day. You leave Clearwater with a protocol, not a hope.
10–20 years out
You're booked. You're the "good dentist in town." But the $40k cases keep going to the prosthodontist down the street. After the seminar, you keep them — and your hygiene-to-restorative conversion rate climbs.
20+ years in
You've heard every guru. You know the sales pitches by heart. What you came for is a peer at the top of the craft, telling you what actually lasts in a patient's mouth — and the receipts to back it up. Bill and Mike will show you both.
The Curriculum
From diagnosis and treatment planning to full-mouth restorations — taught by two AACD Fellows who do this work every day in Clearwater.
A unified diagnostic protocol that simplifies any cosmetic or full-mouth case.
Capture, review, upload. The digital records every case needs before you ever prep a tooth.
Prep design, reduction, and margin placement tailored to each restorative material — pressed ceramics, lithium disilicate, gold, and bonded composite.
Our normal workflow for rebuilding a worn or failing dentition — start to finish, no implants required.
The clearest explanation you'll hear in 30 years. Plus opened-vertical cases.
Margins, provisionals, and the steps that separate a 30-year restoration from a 5-year restoration.
Restorative protocols across the full implant spectrum — single-tooth restorations, multi-unit bridges, and full-arch hybrid prostheses, with the prep, impression, and provisional steps that hold up.
How to give your lab everything they need — and what to ask back.
The Cases You'll See
Before-and-after photographs, case-planning walkthroughs, and step-by-step documentation — pulled from the full curriculum poster.
“The heart of what is presented at these Continuing Education Seminars is aimed at generating higher profitability through simpler more predictable clinical protocols.”
These protocols can make the restoration of a full arch case no more complicated than a single unit yet will make single units a slam dunk.
These no nonsense protocols are so EFFECTIVE, even the most ridiculously complex case can be treated predictably. They will also prove to be invaluable should you pursue ACCREDITATION in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Confusing procedures or ones that use expensive proprietary equipment based on proprietary science are not part of these protocols.
You can forget about struggling with the clinical challenges of complex cases and there will be no reason to miss out on the tremendous financial opportunities they represent.
Only simple, straight-forward techniques, to achieve perfect results with minimal effort, that allow you to produce the maximum income, will be discussed.
A complete set of notes detailing the entire presentation will be provided, so nothing can be missed or forgotten. It is “cookbook” information that you can put effortlessly into clinical use on Monday morning.
On Monday morning you will be able to use these clear, concise and easy protocols to treat every intricate aspect of C&B and cosmetic cases.

What's Included
The seminar is built so a practicing dentist can implement the techniques on Monday morning — without buying a single new piece of equipment.
The most common review we get
Of every recurring theme in 30 years of attendee reviews, this one shows up the most. Mid-career dentists arrive in Clearwater, see how simple a full-mouth case can actually be, and realize how much referral revenue, remake stress, and case anxiety they could have avoided.
The next seminar is the earliest you can take it. The one after that is a year away.
I wish I would have taken this course 15 years ago. Dr. Strupp knows his craft and is a true artist. I believe he inspires all of us to be better dentists.

The biggest regret of my career is not hearing Bill earlier. I've been practicing 20 years and didn't hear him until three years ago. He has changed the way I practice dentistry.
