We've MOVED!

The big event occurred 9/25/06.  The staff and I are still working out a bug or two (!) and are adapting to our new location

and equipment.

Web Changes

This is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first.

March 2007: Dr's Benavides and John Derango did an all day lecture with the "Dubuque Dental Society" regarding "Dental Risk Assessment."  There were more than 130 people in attendance.  This lecture is based on the work of Dr John Kois, and was a review on how people lose their teeth, and how to minimize risk.  People who suffer from gum disease are treated differently than people prone to decay, or who grind.

Feb 2007: Dr Benavides presented a table clinic regarding "COLOR CALIBRATION" for dentists at the "American Academy of Restorative Dentistry" at the Drake Hotel.

November 4, 2006: Dr Benavides gave a one day course regarding photography and color calibration to a group of dentists at the Mayflower Park Hotel, downtown Seattle.

 

August 2006: Dr Benavides will be speaking to the Kois Mentors in Seattle regarding Color Calibration and Digital Photography.

 

2/1/2006: Dr Benavides spoke to the "Illinois Valley Dental Society" regarding photography.  The powerpoint can be downloaded by clicking HERE. (attendees - I had to eliminate most of the photos as even compressed, it was nearly 20Mb in size.  SORRY!).  It's now a manageable 2.5Mb download.

Dr Benavides spoke October 2005 in Grand Rapids, MI at the office of Dr Betsy Bakeman.  The subject of this lecture is "Simplified Digital Photography, Photoshop, and Powerpoint for the Dentist."

Dr Mark Benavides and Dr John Derango (both are mentors for Dr Kois' "Creating Restorative Excellence") co-hosted a one hour program at the Chicago Dental Society's  2005 Midwinter Dental meeting, one of the largest dental meetings in the world!

Some of you are aware that I'm co-developing software with Dr. John Kois, founder of "Creating Restorative Excellence."  Please follow this link to see an example of the output of the software.  Dr Kois and I are finished with the first version of the software, and are now working on version 2.

Follow THIS LINK to download Dr Tom Rooney's Powerpoint on Pharmaceuticals (a lecture given to the "Illinois Valley Dental Society.")

Dr Benavides has lectured to several studyclubs in the area in 2004-2006, including Elgin, and the south Chicago suburbs.
