☺ GPS Dental doctor
Testimonial “Partnering with GPS has opened so many doors for me! Now that I don’t have to worry about all of the back end pieces of the business, I am able to focus more on delivering the highest quality of care to my patients. Dr. Smith and Dr. Little knew when we partnered that I wanted to increase the orthodontic side of my practice and add 3D printing. In the first 12 months of our partnership we were able to reach both of these goals! I am so thankful that they valued what I had built with my patients and my team and that they honored where I wanted to take the business in the future. I could not have reached these goals so quickly, if it hadn’t been for the partnership!”
Dr. Jill Sentlingar Prosper Family Dentistry

FREE CE WEBINAR 1 CE CREDIT Learning how to sit and stand should be natural. But when you are operating in a field of vision that is smaller than a tennis ball, and that field is often not in a perfect position, we need to look at instruments, equipment, and body mechanics that will help us maintain our body’s health for practice longevity. Schools teach the basics of proper seating but what about the rest of the body? How do we maintain a healthy body dynamic that will allow us to practice for many long years? COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. Understanding body mechanics in practice longevity 2. Identifying posture and hand mechanics 3. Learning differences between equipment 4. Discussing instrument options and imperative practice needs 5. Discussing and demonstrating practical suggestions for “out of the office” and “in the office” body survival techniques
