Dentistry is continually evolving and changing, which means it is more important than ever to stay abreast of current issues and techniques. Study groups are a proven mechanism for dentists who want to build their practice and broaden their reach. With that in mind, the Kotecha GPS Club brings together like-minded experts in the Canadian dental world together to teach, brainstorm, debate, and explore current issues in the art and science of dentistry.
Kotecha GPS Club consists of six informal lectures on topics of interest to general practitioners who have a goal of expanding or better serving their patients. Each lecture will feature real world examples of management strategies that work, with an emphasis on treatment planning.
Our goal is for every attending dentist to leave a session with easy to implement strategies within their own practice.
Join us if you want to connect with progressive colleagues and who share a goal of growing their skill sets and building thriving practices.

Never before have we encountered a generation of patients more aware of their facial and smile esthetics than the selfie/social media generation. This increased “selfie awareness” has resulted in our patients becoming more and more esthetically driven and demanding. To satisfy their high expectations it is essential that we have an excellent understanding of what makes a smile esthetic. Drs. Brian and Kevin will discuss what they consider in their practice to be the six keys to an esthetic smile and will demonstrate how they apply the six keys in the treatment of patients with excess gingival display.
Attendees will leave with an excellent understanding of the six keys to an esthetic smile and will be able to apply the six keys in the treatment of their patients.
