Essentials 1 (E1) – Creating the Exceptional Dental Practice, the New Patient Experience
It is said that we only get one chance to make a great first impression. Nowhere is this more accurate than in your dental practice. Essentials 1 is the foundation on which many of the world’s most exceptional dental practices were built and this course has continued to be the experience that many of today’s top clinicians identify as the beginning of their journey to excellence. This curriculum, like its predecessor, Continuum 1 (C1), is the perfect blend of applicable techniques, practice philosophy, financial management, and behavioral skills to immediately elevate your practice to a new level and set the course for achieving the practice of your dreams.
Your E1 experience will be led by a member of the Pankey Visiting Faculty who has more than 20 years of private practice experience, combined with many years of experience teaching this course. Each E1 teaching team also includes the Institute’s Chairman of Education along with two additional faculty members chosen to address a variety of age levels and practice experiences. Anchoring the team will be the Pankey Institute’s clinical, technical, and laboratory staff some of whom have been involved in the Pankey Institute’s educational efforts for over 25 years.

“I have never experienced such a unique learning environment, with such outstanding support from both faculty and fellow students, as I have found at The Pankey Institute. My time during E1 (Occlusion in Everyday Dentistry) has helped me form a clear vision and lay the foundation for the practice, and life I want to pursue.”
