The complete practice growth system for dentists who want to build a practice they love.
Most CE ends the moment you leave the room. Spear continuously drives improvement across your practice. In your operatory. In your team meetings. And in every case you take on after.
On demand, anytime with Spear Online
Your whole team. One platform. A curriculum that builds on itself so you’re developing a coherent clinical philosophy over time that will train you to see more and do more dentistry.
Hands-on, in-person with world-class faculty
A few days on campus can reshape the way you practice for the rest of your career. Hands-on workshops. Faculty who are still practicing clinicians. A room full of dentists who are as serious about this as you are.
In a community with a shared vision
Once a month, a group of dentists bring their hardest cases, their most honest questions, and their real doubts to work through them together. 700+ clubs worldwide. Free for Practice members.
Start with Spear Discover.
Discover gives you free limited access to clinical education and chairside tools that help dental practices grow case acceptance and team efficiency. Upgrade for access to the full system including virtual learning, Study Clubs, team training, and hands-on workshops.
Build a practice that feels as good as it performs.
Do more of the dentistry you enjoy, with patients who understand the value of your treatment, and a team aligned around the same vision of care.
The Patient
Seen as a whole person, not a list of procedures. Spear’s Facially Generated Treatment Planning helps dentists see more, do more, and approach every case holistically.
The Practice
A team aligned around a shared vision of care is a business that thrives. Spear helps dentists and their teams build more than clinical skills through consistent training, stronger diagnosis, confident communication, and a unified approach to care.
The Dentist
A career built with purpose, connection, and work that reflects the hours and heart behind it. Spear connects dentists to a thriving community of peers, mentors, and lifelong learners, creating meaningful support at every stage of their careers.
Across 163 practices, the median practice gained $555 in daily production, with a 9.9% median lift in hygiene production. Fully committed practices saw even stronger results, averaging a 30% production lift.
The Spear Approach
Great Dentistry isn’t a standard to meet. It’s a way of seeing.
At the heart of everything Spear teaches is a deceptively simple idea: start with the face, not the tooth.
Facially Generated Treatment Planning, developed by Dr. Frank Spear over decades of clinical practice, gives dentists a repeatable framework for diagnosing and planning care across five interconnected dimensions: airway, esthetics, function, structure, and biology.
When you learn to look this way, something shifts. You stop treating isolated problems and start seeing whole people. Your treatment plans get more comprehensive. Your patients feel more understood. And the dentistry gets more predictable, more purposeful, and more satisfying to deliver.
This is the difference between CE that adds information and education that shapes the way you practice.
Develop your team and grow your practice.
Learning new skills only matters if you can implement them in your day-to-day. Spear All Access is an integrated growth system for dentists who want to build a high-performing practice. Attend any Spear or CDOCS workshop, access all of our online courses and chairside tools, and work with a practice growth partner to implement the system.
Enhance team alignment and streamline workflows with Spear All Access.
