CEGD (Clinical Excellence in General Dentistry)

In modern dentistry, success isn't about complexity, it's about mastering the essentials with quality and consistency

If you can perform these 10 procedures confidently, you'll improve patient outcomes, grow your practice, and boost your income:

1. Practice Competency (Success mindset, Business, leadership, and communication)
2. Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
3. Dental Photography & Marketing
4. Scaling, Root Planing & Polishing
5. Vital Bleaching
6. Direct Restorations (anterior and posterior)
7. Vital Pulp Therapy + Single-rooted RCT
8. Post & Core (cast and prefabricated)
9. Indirect Restorations (crown, onlay, veneer, and endocrown)
10. Simple Extractions

These make up 80-90% of private practice work.

Mastering them means fewer referrals, higher income, a stronger chance of being accepted into postgraduate programs, and greater control over your clinical future
