Spear Education’s Exclusive Facially Generated Treatment Planning (FGTP) by the Numbers

A look at some of the numbers that show how Spear Education’s FGTP has impacted the dental industry since 2014.

Spear Education’s Facially Generated Treatment Planning (FGTP) method has been a game-changer for the dental community since Dr. Frank Spear first presented it in 1986. FGTP teaches dentists how to take a step back in their approach to treatment planning using Dr. Spear’s proven protocol so they can see the entire patient and all their needs, leading to more patients saying ‘yes’ to more holistic, complex cases. Spear offers FGTP through three-day, hands-on workshops offered nearly monthly on their campus in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Below is a look at some of the numbers that show how FGTP has impacted the dental industry since 2014:

• More than 5,000 dentists from all over the world have learned how to see their patients differently using FGTP
• Dentists from all 50 states have taken FGTP at Spear
• More than 9 million patients have benefited from FGTP through their dentists’ training with Spear
• California is the number one state from which dentists have traveled to learn the FGTP approach to dentistry
• Nearly 400 dentists from outside the U.S. have traveled to Spear campus for FGTP
• The farthest a dentist has traveled to Spear campus for FGTP is more than 15,000 miles roundtrip

Dr. Gregg Kinzer, one of Spear’s FGTP instructors, had this to say about the workshop:

“When a patient’s dental needs are more complex (short / worn teeth, occlusal issues, edge-to-edge bites, etc.), treatment planning ‘tooth by tooth’ falls short in helping you put a plan together. The Facially Generated Treatment Planning process opens your eyes to an alternative way to evaluate and treatment plan patients with complex needs by treatment planning from the outside in. The FGTP workshop helps to simplify the treatment planning process and gives you the tools necessary to move out of a ‘single tooth’ practice.”
