Center For Dental Studies Successfully Completes $1M Grant Phase

The California Center for
Advanced Dental Studies (CCADS) has successfully completed its first
graduating class of doctors. Fifteen doctors from all over Northern
California have completed a unique ten month educational program
designed to advance their clinical skills in the area of cosmetic
dentistry. Along with other recipients worldwide, educational grants
in the amount of $18,500 were awarded to each doctor in this select
group.



Under the guidance of CCADS Senior Instructor/Mentor Todd A.
Franklin, DDS; a dentist from Lodi, CA., doctors were taken through a
series of study groups, lectures, a typodont program, and two
live-patient hands-on programs in San Francisco, CA. Throughout the
program, doctors were trained in smile design, preparation design,
full mouth rapid cementation, and practice management which involved
personal one-on-one training for each doctor and their staff.



With thirteen programs scheduled through 2009, CCADS is the first of
its kind offering access to full scholarships worldwide to doctors and
their staff for comprehensive training. "Led by the top clinicians
and professionals in this field, our program is unsurpassed in the
area of secondary post-graduate education, helping to develop, manage
and support some of the most prominent programs in the world," said
Garrett Caldwell, President of The California Center of Advanced
Studies.



"We are very proud of this talented group of doctors. It is
rewarding to be able to personally train these doctors on a very
special set of skills that they can take back to their practice and
provide the best care possible. By awarding educational grants to
qualified doctors, we are raising the level of care provided. I'm
very excited to start the next series of study clubs so that we can
find the right doctors to train," said Dr. Franklin.



On September 1, 2008, the board of the California Center for Advanced
Dental Studies announced the approval of a second phase of grants,
totaling $277,500.00, earmarked for the San Joaquin Valley based study
group. The next opportunity for doctors to join the San Joaquin
Valley Cosmetic Study Club will be Thursday November 20th. Doctors
seeking information regarding these grant opportunities are
encouraged to contact Dr. Todd Franklin or The California Center for
Advanced Dental Studies.



The California Center is focused on providing the highest quality of
continuing education in a not-for-profit setting. Building on the
success of the educational continuum, CCADS has established itself in
cities across the United States, Canada and Europe.
