Evidence-Based Practices Complimented by Technology: Modern Optimized Dentistry.

Our central focus at The Modern Optimized Dentistry (MOD) Institute is a dental continuing education focused on blending evidence-based practices with the latest technology and techniques in order to optimize patient outcomes. This approach to care leads to safer procedures and outcomes, improved efficiency and allows us, as practitioners, to truly look at, and treat, each patient individually.

Courses at MOD have been meticulously designed to make the technology approachable and incorporate hands-on learning and guidance. Our collective goal is to provide unintimidating instruction that you can apply the Monday you return from taking a course.
