Dr. Woody Wooddell - Continuing Dental Education Workshops Seminars and Courses

 

"It's hard for me to put into words and be concise about how much the current workshop series is changing my life as a dentist. Looking at cases through the filter of facial esthetics and the occlusion system is an empowering feeling. I love having dialog with patients and having the chance to teach them about all of these nuances that were once a mystery to me. Thank you all for your hard work in putting CDEC together and making it a success. Your 'method' has, and will continue to, shape the rest of my career and happiness in the field of dentistry."~ Dr. Jeff Grove

"The most comprehensive dental series that brought a lot of isolated ideas and learning together in a very organzied and logical manner. I recommend dentists of any experience to attend this series to get on a track that can lead to excellence in service and gratifcation."
