The Guam Dental Society joins DEXIS for an in-depth look at the transformation in modern dentistry. From high-quality 2D digital sensors to advanced 3D CBCT and the latest in Assisted Intelligence (AI) tools, discover how these innovations can improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline workflows, and enhance patient care.

This session will highlight:

• How 2D and 3D imaging integrate seamlessly into your practice
• Practical applications of AI in diagnostics and treatment planning
• Tools to increase efficiency and patient confidence

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your imaging, explore CBCT, or see how AI can support better clinical outcomes, this presentation will provide insight and strategies to help your practice thrive.

Welcome to the future of cosmetic dentistry—a place where guesswork is eliminated, confidence is amplified, and patients can see their future smile before a handpiece is ever lifted. This isn't just about CBCT. It's about a revolutionary workflow that fuses advanced diagnostics with powerful emotional engagement tools to transform how you plan, present, and perform cosmetic procedures.

In this immersive session, Dr. Todd Snyder shares how he uses CBCT imaging to uncover unseen pathology, TMJ dysfunction, and structural issues—and then pairs it with facial scanning and intraoral data to construct a lifelike 3D virtual patient. With this integrated digital model, you'll learn how to design, prototype, and deliver smile makeovers with unmatched precision, predictability, and profitability.

The real magic? These tools don’t just enhance clinical outcomes—they sell the vision of possibility. Learn how to go from diagnosis to digital design to final delivery.

Learning Objectives:

1. Unlock Hidden Diagnostic Power with CBCT
   Learn how to detect structural issues, joint dysfunction, airway obstructions, and other hidden factors that influence aesthetics and function.
2. Create a 3D Virtual Patient That Sells the Vision
   Understand how combining CBCT, facial, and intraoral scans builds a powerful visual experience that elevates treatment planning and case acceptance.
3. Master the Art of Emotional Visualization
   Discover how digital and printed mockups become sales tools—bridging the gap between what patients want and what they’re willing to say yes to.
4. Move from Digital Design to Physical Reality
   Translate your designs into preparation guides, printed prototypes, and final restorations that precisely mirror the vision presented.
5. Elevate Your Brand, Profitability, and Patient Experience
   Learn how this digital ecosystem positions you as the go-to cosmetic expert—commanding higher case values and delivering white-glove results.

Whether you're just beginning to explore CBCT or looking to deepen your diagnostic expertise, this 2 hour comprehensive course is designed to elevate your clinical capabilities. Join Dr. Jonathan Ng as he shares his expert insights on integrating CBCT technology and AI-powered digital tools into your practice for more precise, efficient, and patient-centered care.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop a systematic and methodical approach to reviewing CBCT scans.
• Integrate AI-powered software to merge CBCT and IOS data for prosthetically driven implant planning.
• Enhance treatment predictability and reduce complications using AI-enhanced diagnostics.
• Improve patient communication and case acceptance through streamlined case presentation planning.

Join us for a casual in-person event at the Historic St Petersburg Yacht Club to experience how intraoral scanners and 3D printing can take your practice to the next level. From Scan to Plan to Print, you’ll learn the about the full digital workflow, including the benefits of capturing accurate digital scans and utilizing in-house 3D printing for same day treatment. You'll enjoy casual hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and meet and greet with the industries leaders.

This comprehensive 8-hour continuing education (CE) course is designed for general dentists who seek to enhance their understanding and application of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in clinical practice. Upon completion of this course, attendees will:

• Understand and identify uses of CBCT imaging in dental diagnostics to integrate it into routine procedures.
• Analyze CBCT images to identify dental conditions and anomalies.
• Enhance precision of endodontic diagnosis and treatment with CBCT.
• Improve accuracy and success of dental implants using CBCT.
• Recognize common abnormalities and pathologies.
• Evaluate airway impingement in naso/oropharyngeal airways.

This course aims to empower general dentists with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively integrate CBCT into their practice, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
