"Words can’t fully express how incredible this course is. If you’re considering taking only Core 1 and stopping there, you’re missing out on the true depth of the Dawson philosophy. The Mini Residency will answer all your “whys” — you just need to be patient and trust the process. Dr. Hess and the entire Dawson Academy team are outstanding. See you at Core 2..." Read more

"Module 1 provides a single tooth dentistry practitioner a glimpse of what a “Doctor of the Masticatory System” career could look like. Both inspirational and motivational Dr. Hess explained the Dawson template to achieve this best version of ourselves in detail. An engaging, knowledgeable and funny presenter with the heart and soul of a teacher…outstanding..." Read more

"Great course. I would say a must. Mad that I’m learning this 20 years into my career instead of right away. Dr. Hess was amazing and the supporting staff were all so kind and helpful as well."

"Decided on a whim to take the introductory course while down in Florida. Hooked instantly and knew it was what I was "missing" in dentistry. I did not get to meet Dr. Dawson before he passed but Lenny has really stepped into his shoes. The entire faculty are A plus. I would recommend this course to any colleagues looking to really understand the "unknowns" i..." Read more

"As a young dentist it is easy to fall into the habit of single tooth dentistry. Solving little issues but never finding the solution to the actual problem. Completing the Dawson core curriculum out of dental school opened my eyes to comprehensive dentistry. The in person hands-on classes taught by the brightest dentists in the world has laid the foundation..." Read more

"After taking the core curriculum from the Dawson Academy it has completely changed the way I do dentistry for the better. I feel so much more comfortable completing comprehensive cases without having to worry about a lot of problems us dentists worry about like breaks in veneers etc. All the instructors are highly knowledgeable and have so much to offer.

"The mini residency is by far the best and most comprehensive course I have ever taken. Everyone is very knowledgeable and approachable. You have an “aha” moment during every lecture as to why certain procedures keep failing no matter how much you try. I’m proud to be a part of this dental family!"

"After, about 8 years into my practice , I wanted to do more advance cases. Unfortunately, I was scared to make mistakes. I started the curriculum with Dawson that includes hands-on workshop. Thank God for that. I’m now able to do the dentistry that I love and give higher quality care for my patients. Thank you for making me a better dentist"
