In 1997 a University Professor
had a dream of creating a unique, world class dental
facility. This facility’s focus would be clinical and hands-on
training for dentists in a rapidly changing dental market. A
quality, communication oriented esthetic laboratory was also
developed to support clinical training and assist alumni in their
practices. Finally, a consultation service was implemented
to assist alumni and lab clients tackle demanding treatment
plans or prosthesis designs. While manufacturers support
was necessary to provide state-of-the-art materials and
technology, no exclusive deals were granted to manufacturers,
thus allowing course content to remain unbiased. Original
expectations for development were achieved in the first few
years and Esthetic Professionals has become much more than
was ever envisioned. Over the last 10 years, Esthetic Professionals has evolved
from a 1000 square foot facility with 2 employees into a
16,000 square foot facility with 30 employees, and over 18
faculty members. The Education Center has 3 hands on training theaters and
20 dental operatories for clinical training. A unique “Computer
Training Center” was also developed for the entire dental team
to learn the many new computer driven technologies. The Laboratory at Esthetic Professionals has skilled ceramists,
the finest technology, including microscopes at every bench,
and a great support team. In addition, only the finest materials
are used and supervision is provided by a board certified fixed
prosthodontist. Exclusive Dental Suites is a unique, state-of -the-art practice
facility designed as a start up facility for dentists that want their
own practices or specialists that need an additional practice
location. Most of our academic programs have a hands-on
clinical component, in the past only California licensed
dentists can participate. For that reason we have done very
little marketing outside of California. Reciprocity laws have
now changed and Esthetic Professionals is going national, and
even international. Our Mission in Dentistry is to provide “The Total Dental
Solution” for the entire dental team. We will continue to improve on our long standing residency programs and develop
new programs. We are developing programs for dental
assistants, laboratory technicians, hygiene, and dental specialists. We provide a facility to start a practice, perfect a
practice, support a practice (lab and consultations), and assist
in equipping a practice all under one roof. We are the “Total Dental Solution”
